I know this is for Losi's Xcelerin series brushless motors, but maybe it could be of some use to help with gearing on others such as Mamba's.

thanks. but would an airplane battery work? like a 1500 3s 15c? i will post a link to it. Also i think that im going to order an imax b5 charger from hobbycity. It is 50 bucks for the charger and you need the power supply for 18, i thought that was cheap.

The dimentions on that pack are too big for the mini T battery compartment.

For a Ni-Mh I would get an Elite 1500 from www.cheapbatterypacks.com I had and and it lasted over 1 year and it gave WAY more power then the Losi pack.

I think the weight of a 7.2 volt stock pack is going to be to heavy and is going to stick out alot on both sides

Well, ive been contemplating for awhile now on selling or trading my Mini-T. But i havent got a clue as to whats a fair price/trade for it. I was wondering if you guys could help me out on a fair price for my T. I do have a close friend interested in it.

Losi Mini T (basically Baja now)
Mods:
Engine: Castle Creations Mamba 5400Kv
ESC: Castle Creations Mamba 25
RX: JR R125 75MHZ FM
TX: JR XR2i
Servo(s): E-Flite EFLRS60 , Hitec Hs55(New in box)
Battery(s): Team Orion 1600MaH NiMH 6 Cell, Trinity 1200Mah NiMH 6 Cell
Others:
-Trinity Graphite Chassis, RX Mount, Servo Mount
-Integy Silver Aluminum Motorguard / Heatsink
-Mip Ball Diff
-Mip Cvd's
-Aftermarket Red Shielded Bearings Throughout
-Rpm "Revolvers" in Black FT & RR
-Losi Sport Step Pins Rear (never been rolled on lol)
-Losi Directonal Ribs Front (never been rolled on lol)
-Losi Upgraded Shocks / Springs
-Various other stock components like rims / tires, RX / TX, Motor, Servo, Chassis, ETC







Obviously its been used but mainly on asphalt. Runs great and is in good, clean almost new condition. So what do you guys think i should ask for it?
Again, i have a good friend of mine that is interested in it but i dont wanna rip him off, nore do i wanna get ripped. Obviously i cant get back the money spent in it but thats fine with me.

Thanks in Advance fellas

EDIT: I know my sig says Xcelorin 9400kv Powered, but i dont wanna sell that off as i would be looking to replace the T with another RC18 and would def drop that into it

You could always put it on ebay, with a very high reserve and see what it would sell for. Then you will know.

Yea, putting it on ebay would be a good idea. But a fair price for that would probably be around $220.

i think the 6 cell stick pack will work. i might have to mod a little things but he said that he ran the 6 cell stick in there. the length is 8in+ and the pack is 5 1/8 inches and the widt is 7+inches... i was at the LHS the other day and was looking at the baja and it looked like i could mod it a little to get it in there. ill see when it comes though. I cant wait

madmax22 : The only problem you will have if you fit it in, is the fact that; a 6-cell sub-c pack weighs more than a compete mini-t. This means the shocks will be under huge stress and may not even be able to hold the car off the ground.
