nitro _ burner

how much is a bb engine over in america and how much is a brushless engine?
and where can you buy all those aluminium parts?
and also since i got my car ive noticed that the gears have worn down heaps and the inside of the case is covered in white plastic powder. and can you get aluminium gears?

any help will be most appreciated. cheers

is it just me or when you try to spin the rear wheels when its off, is difficult. or is it just the engine turning over.

Either your diff isn't broken in or there is a problem with it. When you turn one wheel the other should spin in the opposite direction and feel very smooth. The diffs in these seem to be very inconsistant.

Did you try to loosen the tranny screws most of the time there just overtightened. Also you should look for hair and other stuff binding the tranny.

yes they do make aluminum main gears, there buy hot racing and let me tell you there great.
i also opened up the tranny and put a bunch of lithium grease on the gears, seems to help. and yes with the stock motor its pretty tight on the ground, with my BB motor its alot better, i can "coast" through turns alot better

I know a BB motor here is about $11.00, not sure how much brushless motors are. I'm sure most people buy their Micro-T hop-ups from here: http://www.killerhobbies.com/items/t...cro-t/list.htm
Dust is the norm in the gearbox (for me at least).

Does anyone know if you can buy the clear steering links that come in the new Micro T boxes? I just broke one and I relly like them.

You can buy aluminum ones or make your own using small zip-ties.

associatedelectric

That's all I can do?

thanks alot for all your help. when i spin wheel one way the other spins the oppisite way pretty smoothly (it must have been the engine that i was thinking about before).
where and what are the tranny screws?
and when i bought my micro t it came with 2 of those new clear steering links.
also what im trying to do is first upgrade my engine and my battery so when i upgrade to most aluminium components or parts it will be able to move along with ease despite the extra weight. does this sound like a good plan?

assiciatedelectric if you go on ebay and yype in micro t. you will find reinforced steering links that people have made.
have a look.

Why not get the aluminum ons??

nitro _ burner

im not shure you can?

nitro _ burner

do you know how to take the e clips off of the wheels?
i cant do it[&:]

My Feedback: (15)

Use a narrow pair of pliers and push it off. If you do not have spare clips then be sure to cup your hand around the wheel to catch it. Magnets also help.

ok kool ill try that.
but ill have to get some very much so needle point pliers.......
i also have to get some tiny screw drivers and a tool to undo the nut on the main gear.....

hey where do you guys buy all of your hop-ups?
over the net if so what site?
or from a local store?

ILoveMinis

killerhobbies is where i got my aluminum. and also nitro burner, that does sound like a good idea, i would only buy aluminum parts that you really neeed and keep breaking the stock one of it. otherwise i dont really see the need for them other than looks. also, if you get the bb motor and liop which is a must, GET A WHEELIE BAR you WIlL nedd it.

Update on the rubbermaid chassis: i made amother one (3rds the charm lol) and instead of gluing the parts from the stock chassis, i bought a drill bit to make little tiny holes, overall its about a half inch longer than stock and accomodates my aftermarket parts quite well.

I got all of my upgrades at www.thetoyz.com

Go figure, as soon as I do the zip tie mod my car glitches and slames into the bottom of my couch and the hub breaks. [sm=disappointed.gif] I can't win.

ILoveMinis

well see, thats definitely a part to get aluminum, thats why i dont like to run mine inside.

nitro _ burner

well i want to make it look realy kool so i will hop-up the most visible parts that are also vulernable to breaking. case that fits over the gears(i think its called trans case?),front and rear arms, front and rear camber bars,threaded wheel thinggy(is a must anyway) and aluminium rims and new wheels.
also where can you buy bb engine from? i know that you can buy the lipo battery and charger over the net.
cheers
