I'm sure the Normal Bearings will do just fine.
If you're wheeling for 5 ft. the slipper clutch must just be "along for the ride" and not slipping.
Lot's of fun but not very good for the transmission (but the transmission doesn't cost very much anyway).

The bearing kit will help with run times. Upwards of 15 minutes is typical. The second battery can either be the original 150 pack, or you can get the 160. I like having the second pack because, using the stock charger, multiple charges on the same pack, even if I let them rest, seem to have reduced power. I find if I let them sit for several hours between charges, they pack more of a punch. But, waiting sucks so having more packs lets you keep playing.
Maybe this issue goes away when you use a real charger. I haven't gotten one yet but I plan on getting the Dynamite Vision Peak Ultra.
I can get wheelies, with a freshly charged pack in the 2-4 feet range.

I bought the normal (least expensive) type from rcmart. They are made by Atomic.
FYI ... I have made several purchases from rcmart without any problems at all. Quick shipping too!
My truck ran super smooth out of the box amazingly enough !!! I don't know why it runs so good. i want my brother to be the same but I don't know how to ..... yet !
Oh ya, mine is set up up with the pinion that was on it , I don't know the # of teeth.

I have that charger and 3 of the Losi batteries. Charged anywhere from .2-.4 amps I get consistent runtimes, even when charging right away after running it down in the micro-t. I'm still evaluating, but .35 amps seems to give me the best runtime to performance ratio. I've got to install the bearing set still, which is sitting on the workbench right now, but I hope to see increased battery time after doing that too.

i dont see how there could be a stiffer setting. They are a basic non oil plastic tube and a spring. You could however move the base of the shock to the insid hole on the a arm and that would give you a tiny bit more ground clearance. However the only way to make them stiffer is by changing the spring or preloading the spring by adding a spacer to the top of the shock.

Isnt there another setting on the rear shocks? I think I put mine in the stiffer setting by accident. It seems to be stiffer in the rear now.

RE: OFFICIAL Team Losi Micro-T thread !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When installing the bearings, MAKE SURE YOU DON'T LOOSE THE E-CLIPS!!!
I would suggest placing the Micro-T inside of a box with a lid and work inside the box.
That way if/when the E-Clips go flying you'll be able to find them.
The bearing upgrade is a must have. Better runtime, better driving dynamics, etc...
They will probably last the life of the Micro-T (unless you drive it in sand).

Don't get the Losi bearing set, you'll pay too much. 
4 sets of these ($.77 each set) is all you need: http://www.bphobbies.com/view.asp?id...11&pid=U111044

8-10 minutes with the stock charger. Longer with a wall charger...and the bearing upgrade gives you a couple more minutes.

well got my new diff in today!! I called tuesday afternoon and got it today!!! Thanks again horizon. I also ordered my a-arm mounts on the same day because i have already ca'ed my rear mount twice. I am gonna do the diff when my other parts arrive. I have my fingers crossed, it should be tomorrow that I know whether this fixes my micro-t
