RE: losi mini T
so far in my tests the mini-t esc handles up to 9.6v from a 8cell and the thing flys however the motor is the week link and in my estimation will hold up to 6 cells for a while depending on the use you give it

Can a regular 7.2 volt battery fit into it???

Anyone know if regular electric car motors work in it?

The motor is also smaller that a standard electric motor for a buggy or staduim truck RC. I have seen for other posts somewhere as to the actual size of the motor, but I can't remember what the details were off hand.

RE: losi mini T
I'm quite sure I read that it is an RS280 size motor and you can fit an HPI RS4 type battery into the mini-t, that is a 4 by 2 configuration.

The Mini-T uses AA size battries.

RE: losi mini T
I was going to put in a different motor but I didn't want to have to drill out the plate (tried two motors and though they were the same size, the "holes" didn't align up. I also don't know of anyone using a brushless set-up.

RE: losi mini T
What motors were you trying? Regular RC electric motors or specific to micro RC? If all it is a screws whole lining up I would love to put in regular RC electric motor if I got one. I am debating on getting one of these Mini-T's - but want more power.

RE: losi mini T
Big Block & Chubby--same size motors, not "regular" size. I would have tried more same size motors, but those were the only motors the store had in stock. I don't want to change my Mini-T too much too quick since there are no replacement parts available here, only new Mini-Ts. The battery pack does add a lot of speed--see post #2.

RE: losi mini T
Apparently, you never read the links. Then again, you are not looking for a micro-motor.
NEW Raider Micro Modified
Since 1985, Peak Racing has been producing high performance racing motors for all R/C car applications. With the release of the immensely popular Team Losi Micro-T, Peak Racing continues this trend with the release of the high performance Raider micro off-road motor. Increased power is always welcome - and the Raider delivers!
Because of its unique dimensions, the Raider comes with its very own motor plate to replace the stock version.
PEK1405 Raider Micro Modified $37.00
PEK1406 Raider Micro Modified w/motor plate $49.00

RE: losi mini T
Yeah I read the links - One says it does like 30k RPM. It is a micro motor as well.
Not being as familiar with the electric motors - I am asking because I am not sure. I mainly mess with the nitro engines. So I was trying to figure out which of the ones listed gave the most bang for the dollar.

RE: losi mini T
I just looked at the one on the Trinity site for the Mini-T -
There are so many brand to choose from, so many option on electric motors. I am not familiar with electric. I am not sure which would give more power still.
Regular motors you look at # of winds and # of turns, what do you look at to tell you have a motor that has more power than another on these.

The chart on Trinity's site lists motor application, winds and turns.

RE: losi mini T
I am going to get a mini-t
Just not sure how soon. I want the 7.2 volt batteries. Will someone look at this Ebay auction for me and tell me will these batteries physically fit. They claim to be for an RS4. Are they any good?
