thats slow..
with a brushless system and a lipo you can go 35+ mph
heck with just a lipo and stock motor can do over 20..

Any recomendations for well made aluminum stering, suspension parts.

The stock plastic parts have alot of play. Went to The Toyz site and there are several manufactures making simular pieces. I'd hate to buy a full set of aluminun gear just to discover the same slop, or binding.

I'm trying to help a guy stuff all the electronics that come with the Losi Excelorin brushless kit under the lid of a micro T. Anybody got a descent pic of how your supposed to pack all that on there? Thanks

Status: offline 		so, does anyone make a true ALL IN ONE brushless kit? i see that there are two main packages from losi (rx &servo, then the motor and ESC) but everywhere i go they are all out of atleast one of them.

so, where can i get both, together, in one foul swoop?

i just sold my "killer" car (1/18th) and need to atlease have one brushless car in the house

thanks in advance

BTW, it has been a LONG time since i was on here, i miss this place

edit:

i DO have the losi lipo (which feels like it is getting weak), and the atomic BB right now, and it is slow, well, now i feels slow. also, i DO have a spektrum Tx, but am waging the war on paying the ~ 90 bucks for the Rx.

thoughts?

i am all ears

ok, one more edit......

we also want to go the FASTEST for the money, ie, a 10,000 kv motor would be best i can find, but do i have to buy the losi ESC seperate?

i am alittle tired, so bear with me.

Status: offline 		ok, i just ordered the 10250kv xcelorin (sp) BL motor and the 1/36 xcelorin ESC, and the losi Rx/servo combo. so i should be good to go for a brushless setup.

also, new diff, and pinions (mine are worn) and new tires (also worn)

oh, and the lights. i had too

so, i sould have vids or pix as soon as this stuff comes in


edit, i just realized the lights will need some wiring modification to work in the 3 wire setup....

any thoughts?

Do you have the 3 Racing or other alloy gearbox ? The brushless system will wear that little brass bushing the spur gears shaft rides on and the tranny gears will stripp out .

AFAIK Hot Racing does NOT make oil filled oring sealed shocks versus aluminum bodies you can stick some grease in. Night and day!

Status: offline 		Hi Joe: It is very stock to say the least. Bearings, lipo, shocks, and the BUDS wedge body. Thats it!!! All the electronics are stock including the transmitter, servo and even the motor. The tires are the stock micro t tires ground down to slicks then cleaned with motor spray. The pic at the end of the video shows the little bit of TLC that I gave it, slick tires, offset circuit board for left turn only, and underneath, the LIPO is mounted all the way on the left. THATS IT! Enjoy!

Status: offline 		The night that that video was taped was the very first time I ever tried it. I want to keep it as simple as possible. I am the race directer at that facility, the most popular class at that track is mini z's, so I wanted to show that the Losi micros are capable as well. It is verrry stock just like I said above.

Status: offline 		Dave, I know a driver of you skill this rarely happens, but if you hit something head on, do you find the steering suddenly reentering at a different offset? I have encountered this, and the only way to correct is to lift the truck up and put it back down, or reset the trim on the remote.

Status: offline 		Hey I have a few problems with my two micro's.

#1 MT- Whenever I get within 5 feet the throttle engages and it starts creeping. But when I put my hand on the transmitter antenna it stops.

#2 MT- Something in the transmission is very tight. It has a bad breakskid and is hard to move forwards and backwards.
It also has something wrong with the motor. I will be driving it and all of the sudden the motor will stop spinning but steering still works. Its not the battery because it works fine in #1 MT.

Does anyone have any advice?
