Yea there pretty cool and I like how there wider but I'd rather not get some wheels that don't fit right or something like that.

Some threaded axles, alloy c hubs, alloy pivot blocks, and alloy arms.


Do Thetoyz sell the Pivot block? if so I can't find them.....if anyone knows where they sell them, would you please give me a link?

Thanks!

Is this wheelie considered bad quality since it's hot racing?

what's wrong with hot racing? do they use bad metal?

i'll probably find some sort of small toy to rip apart for a donor axel. i'll have to see when my truck GETS HERE.

man i'm so anxious to get it, its not even funny!!! aaahaharrrghghg.


it will be stock. i'm thinking of buying upgrades but somehow it feels wrong to purchase mods for something i dont actually have in my hand (literally...hehe) yet.

but i still feel compelled to share. here's what i purchased;




haha..yeah yeah i know it looks like all the other micro-t's out there.
half of that was experimenting with this forum's super cool photo posting. i've never seen a photo viewing option quite like it...how it zooms from a small size and all. (EDIT; apparently it doesnt work or i'm thinking of another forum? cause my pics are big...oops. weird. )

but yeah. i can't WAIT! i think i should start building ramps like walkingcarpet did.

by the way, those look like they took a while to make, especially with tape. have you tried a hot-melt glue gun? that would definitely work better IMO. cool stuff though.

I AM THE KING OF MICRO T'S!!!!

lol Thats what it feels like cause after tomarrow I'll have 4 of them. Two T's and two B's. I have one allready and my daughter likes it so much, I decided to order three more. One for each member of the family. They should get here tomarrow and we're gonna make a track in the living room using garden hoses so's we can race them.

Yeah, It was expensive... and yeah my wifes gonna kill me! But I'm gonna ask for a last request... racing the mini's till I win. And I'll keep lettin the kids beat me till she cools off!

haha. awesome.

used or new? if new i can see how that could get pricey

sounds cool though you'll have to post pics or video of what you do. it would be neat to see a few of them racing around. i think its a good investment. if you want 3 more there's a used set on ebay...lol...but maybe that's a bad idea for you at the moment.

There called arm mounts on www.thetoyz.com , just make sure that you don't get any HotRacing ones it's OK to get them in Inteygy. I did and mine are holding up great.

how'd you get it so cheap? are there more? i'm guessing it was a one-time local to you thing....
my friend bought it then broke it and put it in a cubbord and never used it, i offered him 20 bux for it and he took it. then i had to buy e-clips and camber link. so about 26 bux to get it running

so why did you cut holes in the body and then use your antenna as a body clip?

if i were you i'd get some velcro...

and then protect that wire with a tube...something. rather than use it to hold on something that might cut the wire over time or get kinked/ripped in a crash. i dunno though.

I already have bearings. To break in the diff set the trim on your TX on max and then get something to lock one of the wheels then let it do that for about 1 minute then let it run for 30 secs then do it to the other wheel and your diff should last a lot longer, DON'T FORGET TO CHECK THE MESH AND THE TRANNY SCREWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cut holes in the body so it would look more like a prerunner, and the reason i had the antenna wire holding the body on because it didnt come with body clips. And i dont run it like that anyways, i just did that to hold the body on to take pics. I may not be the sharpest tool in the shed but im not plain stupid.
