Default Micro-t, DT, B

I'm thinking about getting one of these. I know the T and B are the same except for bodies and rear body post. The DT has an extended chassis. Which one will be the most enjoyable. Which one jumps best. Can't you move the battery back in the DT and make it wheelie and the battery more accecable? Please explain why you chose which one.

i chose a micro dt because it does jump better. If you want better acceleration and speed get the t or baja.

I really wih there was one that had good acceleration and speed and a good jumper. I'm thinking DT because I just like the looks of it.

If I move the battery toward the rear shock tower on the DT and gear down could it wheelie?

Yeah that's what I'm thinking right now. It looks cool and has a longer wheelbase.

I'm stuck between them again. I can get a Micro-T/B cheaper and they'll pull wheelies and go faster, but the DT has more chassis room and jumps better. How much slower and less runtime is the DT?

Why does it get more runtime if it weighs more? Thanks

Default RE: Micro-t, DT, B

the dt will give you shorter run times because the bigger wheels.. dt will give you alot better handling because of the lenght.. what i always tell ppl thats asking, i tell them to get either the t or b and enjoy it for a bit, if you dont like it you can convert to a dt for around 20 bucks.. the reason i say this is because u can find the t or b for around 50-60 online used or even get them sometimes new on ebay. the dt is 90, so converting from a 50-60 dollar deal, youll spend 70-80 and have either way and save 10-20 bucks

I picked the T because of it being a little bit smaller so I could use it more in my apartment.

Well we race them and the T's dominate in stock form and have a much better run time. They also handle better and have a tighter turning radius.

Maybe I'll start with a T/B and later if I don't like it convert it to a DT as tyhodge07 said. How long does it take to convert? I was thinking I could just change it when I feel like.

It doesn't take long. A few screws and the chassis is off and you simply put the screws back in with the new chassis. There are no suprises. The longer chassis bolts in just like the shorter one does.

I think I'll pick up a B or T and buy the DT chassis stuff then change it whenever I feel like.

I just bought my DT a couple of weeks ago so I got to choose from all of them. After looking at them in the LHS, the DT was just cooler all around. I see people complain about the speed of it being slower. I have the li-po but stock motor and this things cruises pretty well. Any faster and I hit a curb, it's bye-bye DT.
