thank you!!!

Yes they are worth it. Yes they are fun. Better the a Mini-T? Well the Micro-T is the same thing as a Mini-T just smaller. The most common part to break is the Steering Rods, but you can easily make replacements with some zip-ties, plastic, etc. Run times are a little over ten minutes with the stock battery, with the Losi LiPo upgrade, you'll get nearly double the run time, and it will go faster.

Why don't you just do a search for the Micro-T? There is plenty of info about on this forum.

I have had my Micro-T's for about 3 months. I haven't broken a think yet. I bash the heck out of it, seriously I do things like jump of my house and just plan old stupid stuff that no one would think of. The only time something brok was when my cousin step on it with her whole wieght, but it only broke the spindle, and you can buy the whole front end for $4.00. It is flat out tough. I have 3 Micro-Ts and 2 Mini-Ts, and to me the mini-ts are a joke not strong at all and everything on them just snaps on.

There are a few things it needs:
It needs an antenna tube(there is a mod for it but I don't know where)
Bearing(they are needed badly)
BB motor or Li-po(even for inside)
Stiffer Springs(or get oil-filled shocks)

NEEDS A WALL CHARGER BAD!!!(it will add at least 2 extra minutes to your run time)

There you have it. Overall amazing truck for the money.

i agree ive had mine for 4 months and it has not broken yet

i would get threaded shafts though e clips on the truck suck

true I forgot those

lol, my kids powerwheels quad ran it over, and the truck didn't flinch.

must have's are:

bearings
bb motor
lipo
threaded shafts
aluminum stuff (as much as you can get)
complete screw set (just in case)

that's about it. oh, the antenna sucks, so rip it off, and solder a new one on, or use the screw on the circuit board.

by far, the most fun i have had with an rc car to date, and i have had MANY!!!!!!!!!!!

what?
aluminum all over would not be a wise choice, and you could buy 5 extra micro-ts for the price of all the aluminum.

Lipo+BB would be insanely fast for inside which is where 80% of us use them

mine broke more than my mini baja. also the screws on them are so tiny. i guess i just like 18th scale better.

-JOE-

not for inside. i have 2 micro-ts and 2 mini-ts. I have a large house and they mini-t is to big and the micro is a little small but the micro-t is much better for indoors. '

And I have owned a total of 4 micro-ts and the things I have broken are rear pivot block and spindle. which costed me 75 cents to fix. The spindle broke because my cousing step on it. And the rear pivot block broke because I jumped it off my house and landed on the right-rear awkwardly.
