Status: offline 		are the worth it for my mini t.
i have run two or three cycles threw it have hit anything or had an hard jumps
havent even beat on it just ran it around a little..
to get everything dialed in and working properly.
the other day i got ready to just take a couple passes back and forth inside and i dropped it from about a foot on accident
my hub just cracked straight threw.
this makes me worried if i will be raceing.
is the weight to strenght ratio worth it?

Status: offline 		Yes it is worth it. That is the only part that really needs upgraded. If you can run it without running into things then that is all that needs upgraded to aluminum. I bought all the aluminum a-arms and stuff for the front of my mini t when i had it and the only part i did not get was the rear hubs. Well the mini t was faster witht he stock plastic pieces on it but i mainly just raced mine and the difference in weight was pretty pathetic. I would just get the rear hubs in aluminum and upgrade the other stuff when they break. Unless you go brushless, or really bashing the crap out of it then don't waste your money on the other aluminum parts.

Status: offline 		Yes I think they are worth it , those and the fron c hubs and steering knuckles too .

I used too break them when my T would roll at high speed or cart wheel , but things are gonna break crashing at 45+ mph .

Everything else on the Mini T is pretty strong .

If you are looking too get a new chassis then look at the Exotek chassis .

Status: offline 		I got the gpm alum rear hubs off ebay for 15 bucks. GREAT PURCHASE. Very good quality and bearings fit in very snug with no wobble.

Status: offline 		I have the gpm rear hubs and the bearings fit well but the hubs have play with the bottom arms.
With the mamba, if the rev the throttle the rear hubs vibrate side to side loads.

Status: offline 		Have you tried putting shims on it. Is it the hinge-pins that are to skinny where they go threw the hub? You might be able to take the hinge-pins out and put some CA glue on the hinge-pins shaft and then once it is dry you can sand it down to make it a snug fit. Just dont make it to tight to where it will bind.
