RE: Official Mini-T Thread
I might get the 12mm adapters so I can use the same tires the Detta ST uses so I don't have to buy twice as many tires since I plan to get my Detta ST running after my Mini-Slider conversion is done.

RE: Official Mini-T Thread
wow, sounds like a nice mini. I would try to list it on ebay. If you put a reserve on it, it will not go any lower than you want. 200 does not sound too bad. if it does not sell, you are only out a couple of dollars on the listing cost.

RE: Official Mini-T Thread
I finlly recieved my upgrades for my mini baja.
1 Set of GPM Shocks
1 # racing ball diff
1 set of GPM Turnbuckles
everything was going together great until I got to the last turnbuckle. As I was unscrewing the stock ball to replace it, wouldnt you know it the darn front knuckle arm broke. So now I have to put in another order and wait. I was debating on whether I should get the aluminum version ar just stick with stock. Any feedback on this? Im not a big fan of aluminum but I would like to replace the flimsy parts with something better.

RE: Official Mini-T Thread
I ran with the same question on Friday. I fired my mini up and broke a rear knuckle with in 2 minutes. I had alum ones on it but put stock back on recently. The stock is what broke. I had sold the alum ones recently and was thinking the same as you, would the Alum be better. Dummy you sold them.....
I still think no. I would rather have to replace a knuckle than an arm, a pin, and or bulkhead because the knuckle would not give due to it being alum.

RE: Official Mini-T Thread
I would break knuckles less often then I would break my rear suspension mount. I guess it doesn't like 7 foot jumps and landing on the rear right tire almost sideways several times on asphalt. Does anyone know of a good shim set to get rid of some of the slop in the Mini-Ts suspension? I got my eBay account set up so I'll be buying more stuff for my Mini T/Slider in the next weeks.

I think I found what battery that I'm going to make/use for my Slider/Mini-T. It's going to use 6 2650 mah Duracell AA cells. Its heavy but the extra run time will be worth it.

RE: Official Mini-T Thread
you better go with lipo/a123.
I might try a123, still looking for more info on them, but heard a lot of good things except their weight.

I use Zippy 1300mah 2S Lipo's. I get 30 minute run times and they weight half the weight of the Nimh's. I also have some Zippy 800mah 2S Lipo's and they give me about 12 minute runs times. Good stuff. Ordered them from hobbycity. REALLY CHEAP TOO but GREAT quality.

RE: Official Mini-T Thread
Will A123's give you the same or close to the power and runtimes of a lipo? Do they need to be balanced? I dont want to buy any more nihm batteries since there are comparably priced alternatives now but I want to know if I go with either lipo/a123 what additional things I would need.

a123 1100 about 40gr/cell
2s 95 gr
3s 130gr
4s 190gr
the 2300 about 70gr/cell
2s 155gr
3s 230gr
4s 310gr
no problem with run time, they fully charge in 10 minutes
get 2 pack you can run all day long.
probably I'm going with the 3s 2300, any suggestions?
