Racing? Bashing?
Get more than one of those packs, maybe 2 or three plus the stock one. Get a Reedy 17t motor, a stronger servo, wheels/tires, couple spare parts and maybe a aluminum part or two and a dash of driving skill.

Also, you should get the kit. You'll learn how to build it and save a little wrenching time changing everything.

I like the RPM bumper on mine.

Seek and Destroy

with that money you should get:

1.rc18mt 170
2.novak spy 50 i think
3.baja motor 35
4. mini-max bat 35

the reason why i said a new esc is cause the stock rc18mt usually fries for some reason[&:]. total 290. so you have 35 left.

edit: i saw you had the ib bats up there thats cheaper and probably better. 255 is the new total.

edit again: the battery brace isn't really nessacary it's mainly for looks i think. plus 67 including everything you listed equals............................................ ....317. oh yah thats a pretty good deal

Yamaha9

Not ready for a new motor i heard ittl do like 20 stock ill see how tyhat does, ill also do a little racing but i think more bashing. The esc im gonna think about are there any ones aroubd that price range that are blue not orange lol , what are some other good esc's ill def get more batts too. are there any nicer bodies and wheel and tires i also want some nice aggresive tyres and a nice aggresive body , i like there will they fit? http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXHUG7&P=ML

Of course it will fit, it's made for the mini-t!

For wheels I reccomend

Mr. Mugen

You WILL break axles with those. Especially if you use TiNi cvd's. They cannot take the shock and these tires provide the leverage needed to do just that. I would stay with the stock tire size and stock axles and dogbones for cheaper replacements. I have raced all the top cvd companies and broke them all on the bigger jumps but finish the races with a bent stock axles.

Yamaha9

ok so i shouldnt use those wheels and tires are there any ones like those i could use, so i can use that body even tho its for the mini t? would this be a good esc? will i fry this one too? http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXLTY2&P=7

since it has tamiya type connectoer and im using this battey-http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXMGW8&P=7 will i need this connector? or will it work without it, http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXAYR9&P=ML
what else would i need?

-Inverted-

Yes, the body posts may be a little off. Drill the body post holes before you paint.

Thats a great ESC.

Yes you will need that connector, however I reccomend just switching to Deans.

Yamaha9

ok so will this paint be ok for the body?- http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXRS28&P=0
ok i want a fsater chatrger than stock because i plan on buying three of those ib batts plus the stock so ill have four, i like this charger cause it handles too a time , and i need this one for my rotostart batts, is there any connector i can use to charge these batteries also?- http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXMGW8&P=7

So Those batteries are 27$ i heard lipo batts are good are there any in that price range that are goodbut not over 32$? i dont think there is an adapter to use that charger also right?
so would this be an ok charger? http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXHNW5&P=ML
ist says it need a 12 volt power supply thats 90$ im not buying that if u really need that lol, so are there any lipo chargers for around 45 bucks?


ok so what are deans what do they do and how do they work, it would be cool if u guys could show me some pics please. What would i need including everything , would i need to do something to my charger? or are there any adapters?

Yamaha9

so if i dont get the lipos witch i dont think i will witch ib batts should i get the 6 cell or 7 cell what ther difference and witch should i get?

Yamaha9

DO they sell hump packs for these?

Yamaha9

http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXJHP5&P=7 are there tires good for carpet and indoors, are there for ther front and rear of the car, sorry for all the ?s but i want to make sure to buy all the right stuff.

-Inverted-

What would you need a hump pack for? The reciever and servo use the power from the main battery.

The difference is one cell. The extra cell will provide more power.

Those are just the stock wheels and tires.

A regular Tamiya connector is all you need for your rotostart packs.

Inverted thank tou sooooo much u are the rc genius![sm=thumbup.gif]

lol Thanks! [8D]

RiseAgainst017

make shure when you use that charger for the mini packs you switch it to 1 amp and only one of its chargers can be 1 amp. inverted, you should think about being a moderator!

Yamaha9

Peak Charger 1 Pulsed Output: 3.5A for 6-7 cell (7.2-8.4V) batteries
1.0A for 8-cell (9.6V) AA Tx batteries
Peak Charger 2 Pulsed Output: 3.5A for 6-7 cell (7.2-8.4V) batteries
wouldnt it be 3.5 amps?
thats what tower says?

-Inverted-

Yamaha, if you can spend a little more you can get a MUCH better charger. The 977 can also charge two packs at the same time, but it can charger li-po, ni-mh,ni-cd, and a few other chemistries. It also has a digital amp setting, which means a more accurate charge as you can charge exactly to mAh. With this you can even charge different types of batteries at the same time, and control the amps for each.
