I'd go for the Losi turnbuckles and ball ends - I've been using them for over a year with no problems. Previously I've run the Hot Racing (the ones with the yellow rod ends) and they were junk, they bend easily at the point where the turn buckles enter the rod end. That was just running over some rutted ground rather than jumping or running into things () so I would avoid at all costs.

Hope this helps.

I have the gpm turnbuckles. They are pretty tough. Also you can buy spare ball cups, which is handy, as they are the weakest part.

The mamba broke my stock pinion. It kinda melted it. I have a metal set on its way but won't be able to use it till next week.

Alex73

ok, here to prove that the turnbuckles are good. The ball joints keeping pulling out of the suspension mounting arms.
I have ordered another stock one but if i keep doing it i will have to get an ally one.

One big problem i am having, when i put full throttle from the start it veers off to one side, never just left or just right but randomly to one side.

There is the Mini-T that I got in a trade. I cleaned it up and I took off the racer and put it on this one. I'm selling it. PM me!!!

Alex73

nice,
can't advertise here though. but mini-t looks good.

I just bought a Mini-T roller off ebay. Have been looking for an electric to run and I caught this one with 3 minutes left. Put in 2 bids and it was mine! It was kind of an impulse buy, just wanted to get some other opinions on if I got a good deal or not. I just read through the last 10 pages of this thread to get an idea of how to build this thing up. I am sure I will be on here a lot once my new money pit is delivered. Check it out and let me know what you think!

My Feedback: (5)

Ebay is the place to shop. I got a mini t basically brand new, not a mark on it. It was rtr included everything a new one would (except manual and tools)...also came with a vision peak 2 charger and venom nimh battery (new) for 80 bucks.

Alex73

thats a good deal, they go for way more over here in the uk.
I payed the same but didn't get a charger and had gpm shocks.

a 0.05 ci from a sportwerks chaos and a fiberglass chassis
to save room im doing a bump start instead of pull and a round fuel tank

little 0.05 ci motor

out with the old in with the new/size comparison 19turn reedy motor 1/18th scale

size comparison against my hand

fiberglass chassis ouch im a lil itchy after that

e123

I think I got a good deal, but you got a killer one! I like that mine is a roller so I can put whatever stuff I want on it but for another $50 the one you got was a way better deal.

Frank88888888

So i got my turnbuckles today and i decided to take some pics of my mini-t

rmoetken

I know its posted In here somewhere but, I don't wanna cycle through 110 pages..what's the feather servo from Hitec that is a direct replacement for the mini baja?

VeeAte

HS-55 will fit aparently, but I think you need the Losi conversion set for the servo saver.

Anyone else clarify ?

buster7467

My Feedback: (2)

I don't think it will work with the stock receiver/esc combo. Isn't the hs-55 a 3wire servo and the stock is a 4 wire.

Frank88888888

Yea it does fit no you cant use the stock esc/receiver your going to have to use another one, and yes you do need the servo saver for it or you can just jerry rig it like me without a servo saver

Frank88888888

Heres a pic of my setup you can also see my receiver and esc i have[8D]

BTW: i have the hs-65 but from what i hear there very similar

VeeAte

I thought the Baja came with a 3 wire servo ?

I have read so much about what car comes with what lately that I forget. lol
Sorry for giving out wrong info.

This taken from losi website regarding Baja:

Features

* Upgraded RX-280 motor
* Complete ball bearing set
* Oil filled shocks
* Synthesized Losi Sport FM radio system
* Separate receiver/speed control utilizing 3-wire servo connection
* Two sets of glued rear tires/wheels (sand paddles and mini-pin) included
* 7.2V 1100mAh NiMH battery and charger included
* 8 batteries included for transmitter

rmoetken

I said baja not mini t..so I can use my stock esc/reciever because it is a standard 3 wire.

rmoetken

No man your right. You wouldn't happen to have a part number for that little conversion you were talking about would you? Or a place I can get one?

VeeAte

PM Sent.

LOSB1226 is the part number.

Hi all,

My cheap VP 6 cell 1400 packs have both died the same way - the flat weave metal strip from the battery to the wire has broken. Avoid buying these on Ebay........

So I need a couple of new packs and I'm after recommended sellers - remember I'm in the UK so I don't want to be killed by excess postage or duty at customs! I'm looking at the Toyz and Cheapbatterypacks - any other suggestions

My other 2 packs are both 6 cell and I want the new ones to be too. One is a 1400 intelect pack with great punch and the other a 1500 elite pack that I need to get the best out of yet as I only got it last week.

What guage wire would you recommend to the Deans female plug?

I'm not interested in Lipo just yet.

Thanks in advance.

Neil

Regarding the above dead packs - I've not built battery packs but could I solder the wires directly to the appropriate cell to complete the circuit to resurrect these 2 packs or is there more to it than that? I could then just re-shrink wrap them and use them in reserve......

Thank in advance for your thoughts.
