i had a Baja motor in my first mini-t and liked it, but this slider motor does impress me.

then you will be fine. I have the stock mini chassis and i had to remove a flag behind the servo to fit it. Not really part of the chassis but is trimming.... The baja mini-t chassis has that part all ready gone so....

either way you have less in the way on the CF chassis and will be ok.

I ran out of diff lube and used that instead and it messed my 18t's diffs up. I have to stop being cheap and stock up on the right supplies.

Well that stuff gummed up my diffs and thats where all my problems came from. I turned the diff in my mini baja around and that set that problem straight also. Now I see why they give you 2 different lubes. Now I just need a nice day so I can go to the track and watch them fly.

Me too! I think is the best thing I did on my mini baja, ever since I did it it hasn't strip and that was last summer till this date. The grease I use was cam lube from Crane Cams it works is rally good. wont use anything else.

Is cam grease thinner than bearing grease?

My lhs had some marine grease i grabbed a while back and like that also. Smelly but works.

I use green slime for everything, Works great on shocks that leak. When my miniT shocks leaked i used that between two seal and they never leaked again. Its good stuff just a little expensive.
