I love my Micro-T but I was wonderin if it is worth getting a brushless system for indoors. I have a very big house.

I am wondering if the battery life will be better than with a brushed and if there willbe any glitching?

KRO

Battery life is probably 8-10 minutes longer , power is about the same as an Atomic BB motor and LiPo .

-JOE-

What about the Lipo and Brushless? I was thinking if there is to much power I could put a 3.7v lipo in it, would that work alright?

not worth it trust me save your money and buy somting better

-JOE-

can you explain more why? do you have any experience with it?

rc-junky007

yes i placed my order from horizon a month before it came out along witha micro-dt and a lipo and it does 2 mph faster than lipo and bb

sure its cool to have somthing this smaal brushless but it costs too much and doesnt have nearly enough torque

so if you want to spend that muchcash go for it but i wouls get lipo bearings and bb and you will hit the 23-24 mph range the brushless/lipo hits 25-26mph and i thought it would be way faster like 30mph but nope so yea

-JOE-

So they acceleration isn't there with a brushless?

+1, It isn;t cheap to convert and at the end of the day it is still a micro-t functionality wise it isn;t going to be that much diferent. If you have a bunch of other RCs and money to burn and you just want to hop it up sweet, then do it. If this is your first real RC, or one of your only RCs and you are getting really into hoping it up, take a deep breath, and shop around. The Micro-T is fun but really you could put that $100+ dollars towards another cool RC that will give you more variety like say a Mini-Z. They make cool cars that are smokin fast as well as sweet monster trucks . Or you could buy a 4WD truck like a Pro-Pulse, or one of those 1/24 redcats, both for less than the upgrade would cost... All of those can run sweet in your house if its big and honestly probably handle way better than the Micro-t and end up being more fun.

Thanks BGM, the only things that I like to do with my micro-t are jump and climb.

Is there something that can do these things better than a micro-t and is it close to the same size or maybe a little bigger?

Awesome truck, especially i you can track down the rare 40th anniversay all chrome model that comes with all avaialbe factory hop ups like full bearings, oil shocks.... I have seen tehm go for as little as $120 on Ebay loaded to the 9s.

That would be great but it doesn't have much ground clearance and it looks really chincy. But I was looking into buying one of them before I bought a micro-t.

rc-junky007

get an 18th scale bigger yes but can be 1 million times as much fun

you arnt going to find somthing as small as the micro-t that can go as fast unless you move up to 1/18 or 1/24 scale

Big Green Machine

It has 3 times the ground clearnance of a micro T and the build quality is actually better. I agree with RCjunky though, get a 1/18 if you don;t have one already and you'll likeyl shelve the micro.

bb and cell phone battery 35+ yes it goes that fast i clock my cuzs neighboor.

Big Green Machine

I'm not buying that for a second. Cell phone batteries A. Thoug maybe having similar voltages they don't have the discharge rate that a RC lipo has B. Are considerably heavier in design and weight on the micro T is very weight sensative, extra weight over stock kills its speed completley. Video proof or it never happened.
