Micro-baja & Mini lst2?
Hey guys I'm getting ready to buy the micro-baja, and since it comes with lipo, i have a few question i was hoping you could help with.
1. does the stock esc have a low voltage cut off? or do you have to watch it?
2. how long does it normally take to charge the lipo pack?
3. i have seen a lot of people have an issue with the rang on the micro-t, has anyone had the same with the micro-baja?
4. is there any real parts i should get right off the bat?
5. i was also wondering, about the mini lst2? what are the most common parts that go wrong? so i can buy them right away before i have to wait?
6. and is the mlst2 good in small park grass, i have a park with several soccer fields, that has really short grass, Not like the stuff u would have on your front lawn.
7. what would be a good upgrade battery pack for the mlst2? something that will give good runtimes?
8. and can the stock mlst2 wheelie?
Thanks guys.

2. about an hour
3. to make the range better make your own antenna
4. bearings, new antenna

heres how to make the antenna mod:

im guessing the lipo runtime is maybe 30-45 minutes depending on gearing and how you drive.

Hey, The micro Baja DOES NOT have lipo. It's just an NiMh pack and battery operated charger just like the micro T. I have two of them, and they both are the same as the micro T except that the turnbuckles are clear and a little bit thicker.

Losi isn't selling them with lipo. Here's the link to the micro Baja on losi's website:
http://www.teamlosi.com/Products/Def...rodID=LOSB0232
in the description, it says it includes a powerful NiMh battery pack. Losi does make a Lipo upgrade kit for it that comes with the battery and the lipo charger, so the ones on ebay may just include the upgrade. I am not trying to flame you or anything, I just wanted to let you know this.

Ok for the MLST2 Q's: the only thing ive had go wrong with my MLST2 is both steering servos went at the same time[&:] but they replaced both
Its ok in grass but is best on dirt, grass will cut back runtime and speed. Unless you have a BL lying around
The best battery packs are lipos otherwise the 6 or 7 cell pack are the best Ni-Mh http://www.thetoyz.com/cart/thetoyz_...20POST,%20MISC http://www.thetoyz.com/cart/thetoyz_...20POST,%20MISC
And no it cant wheelie because it has 3 diffs, including 1 in the centere. you can always just lock the centere diff though.

RE: Micro-baja & Mini lst2?
the MLST2 is a great backyard basher!
definately want to run with lipos. I was runing with stock electronics and a 7.4v 1250mAh lipo for a few weeks I only had a couple repairs less then $15.
I just installed BL motor and mamba 25, now I'm running 11.1v lipos.

The only really problems you should encounter with the Mini LST2 are the stock servos (replace with JR 241) and the stock connectors (replace with Deans). It is a great basher (like everyone has said) and with a few mods/upgrades could be a racer.

Six or seven cells are the best? What about eight or more (if you can fit any more lol)? The only reason lipos (lets say we are talking about a 3 cell) are "better" is because they have a lot More voltage, then a 6 or 7 cell Ni-Mh pack.

Uhh qusetion. Do you even own a MLST??? if so you would know there is limited battery space, a 6 cell will just fit and a 7 cell is a real squeeze (ulness you mod the chassis somhow)
