    Status: offline     		My bulkhead brace has already saved my car and I've driven my Mini-T 3 times since I got it. I jumped it and was trying to get a 3-4 foot jump dialed and I decided to tap the brakes to see if it would bring the nose down enough. It make me nosedive and land horrible. If it wasn't for the brace I would be waiting for a new bulkhead. I think that I'm going to get some White or Chrome rims and dye them blue.

    Status: offline     		You can dye RPM chrome rims so I was just guessing that the Losi ones would work but w/e. I need to loosen my diff and get some new tires.

    Status: offline     		ESC for Mini Baja with Lipo:

    I am taking the lipo plunge but I have read somewhere that the standard ESC does not protect the battery during low voltage, ie, a different ESC is needed.

    What are good replacements for this? I am not a racer, more a "casual basher". But I do appreciate quality.

    Regards

    i think the esc in the baja has a low voltage protector. i only say this because of how fast the car will go from full bore to dead stop when the battery gets lower. or is that just how nimh batteries work?
