    Status: offline     		Is rccarman trying to trade any of these other vehicles? If you notice the date of his post quoted below, supposedly rccarman already had two Mini-T's by November 26, 2003 prior to the Ebay purchase of what would appear to be a third Mini-T.

    I can provide you with two reasons why I dropped a GT7 in my Mini-T: (1) I had a Novak GT7 laying around and didn't need to go out a buy it and (2) I was thinking about installing a motor larger than the Peak Racing Chubby Micro RS4 Mod Motor in the Mini-T. I also dropped the JR RS300 synthesized receiver in it because I've taken my Mini-T to the dirt track numerous times and I don't have to worry about channel conflicts. I also choose the HiTec HS-5125MG servo because this particular "airplane" servo supposedly has an unbreakable metal gear train and I had to scrap that 4-wire stock servo--that's a hint for rccarman so he can expand on what once again appears to be another "fairy tale" claim.


    I was not trying to imply that is was 100% crazy to put a GT7 in a mini-t. If I just had an extra laying around I probably would have used it in mine too. Intead I went with a Novak Spy, the HS-55 servo, and I did have a R135 receiver in it, but I sold that with my XR3i and I just bought the XS3 (I wanted everything synthesized) so it is about to get a RS300 here in just a few minutes.

    Status: offline     		I thought about getting the Spy too, but then I figured why not use the GT7 since it was not getting any use. I also thought about putting a brushless motor in my Mini-T too, but the lack of traction seemed to be a bigger problem than increased speed. However, I purchased some "Losi Mini-Smasher" tires for it tonight and hopefully, my Mini-T should get better traction. Besides I spent the brushless motor fund tonight since I purchased a new Mini-Z Panasonic-Toyota TF 103 F1 tonight, along with some hop-ups for both that Mini-Z-F1 and my Tamiya Ferrari F2001 F1. The local hobby shop also received some Kyosho Inferno MP-7.5 Kanai Edition 3's in as well--it's just a good thing that I already have an mbX5.

    Status: offline     		My lhs got a Kanai III in the other day too.. and I have been in the market for a buggy. I just could not see spending almost 800 then still needing a engine and everything else to get that thing running. I just got shocks put on my mini-t.. I am a little disappointed.. they can not even hold the front end up now. I am going to try to rebuild them to see if I just didnt get enough oil in them or what... but I think the springs are to weak.

    you need to use the pre-load spacers to raise the front(per losi). the front springs are a little short, it look like.

    There is already a picture of my Mini-T on this thread. Go to post #33 and look under all the wires where the RS300 is buried. The reason there are so many wires on my Mini-T is because of the length of the servo wires and because I have an extra adapter on the battery pack so I can run either a 6-cell 7.2v battery pack or some 4-cell 3300 saddle packs.

    Edit: There are even more wires now since that photograph was taken without the added light kit.

    So, do your cats think that's a new mouse for them to eat?

    I don't run the Mini-T in the house since I hopped it up and got rid of the reverse. The Overland is another story and it is pretty much the cats' toy since I usually only run it when I'm playing with them. TNB also know how to catch and stop the Overland. And, Bennie has his own 1/4 scale bed though he does allow me to borrow it.
