RE: OFFICIAL Team Losi Micro-T thread !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am thinking of getting a couple of these, but first I was wondering how they run on plush carpet? Since carpet is the primary surface I will be running them on I just wanted to make sure they run well on it. Pretty much all of the vids i have seen are running on hard surfaces or indoor/outdoor carpet I just wanted to make sure there was not a reason for this. thanks

They will run well on plush carpet. You will need to do a after run inspection though. Make sure that you check all the rotating parts for loose threads. My buddies Micro-t got some loose threads caught around the rear wheel and I picked it out with a pair of tweezers.

Well a couple folks here seem to be having the issues with the battery/charger. Mine is having the same issues. The charger with new batteries only charges for about 10 minutes then the battery has only about 3 minutes of run time. Thats no where near what most people are getting.
The weird thing is that when I pull the battery off the charge and hook it to a volt meter, it reads 5.7 volts. When I run it down and the truck won't move any more, I hook it up to the volt meter and it reads 4.7 volts. Shouldn't the battery be dead?
Any who, I called up Horizon and they asked me to send in my battery and charger for a diagnostic and they will take care of it.
Hope they have somewhat quick turn around. I really like this truck when it runs correctly.

I broke the steering knuckle today after hitting the infamous chair. Pics show damage. Both of the red zip ties took the pounding over and over so far.

Me and my dad are thinking about buying two micro-t's to race in the basement during the cold and rain. So, my question is how do these handle and are they any good. From what I have seen here, many people are having trouble with broken things from the factory and short runtimes. Do they have good high speed handling and how well do they turn? I want them to turn sharp so we can build a nice fun track in the basement. I get the impression from just looking at them and hearing things that they have bad build qaulity. If everyone could answer some of these and please be honest so I don't waste my money that would be great.

I have had problems with mine as you can see here http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_5102985/tm.htm but i think some people get good ones some get bad ones but i would recommend get it from your lhs because you might have to take it back but i hear losi is real good with taking them back and fixing them.

im using the stock charger and it only charges for 15 mins tops. i decided to put it on for 2 cycles and it only made it to 10 mins on the second charge. then i took it off and the truck seemed to last a bit longer than it did before.

today i took my truck out to like this basket ball court near my school today after school lol, and i had a full charge and the mid/ stock pinon on it, and this thing can out run me lol. so i say atleast 12-15mph with the stock and the large maybe 18-20mph. i say that is pretty dang fast for something of its sized. oh yeh i have this half pipe deal track and i got some back flips and landing it! it was so sweet. i would love to get pics my camera is so slow it wouldnt even do it lol.
oh yeah, i also made this homemade cooling stand for the micro t. probaly wouldnt do much but it looks kewl lol, if any one wants a pic let me know ill take it

RE: OFFICIAL Team Losi Micro-T thread !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
