Mini-T Steering woes
ok, so i just got my mini-t today. put ball bearings and on road-ish tires on it, with a venom pack. i'm just getting into rc and may be just overlooking something simple, but my problem is my steering keeps just randomly stopping working. it sucks when i can only do donuts for a minute, or when its flying along and then there is no steering. is there a simple fix for this?
also i bought a mini lst frenzy 370 motor, will this be faster than the stock setup?
thanks in advance.

You probably stripped the gears in the mini-t's stock servo. You can buy replacments.
The 370 will go faster, but your run time will be shorter. Make sure it works with the mini-t's esc, I'm not sure that it does.
Also, Venom batteries are not very good. Look into getting Intellect or Gold Peak batteries, and you will have more power and run time.

thats happened to me what you can try is loosening the servo bracket a little bit but not to much and then turn the wheels alittle bit with your hands

i don't know how i could have stripped the gears it did it straight out of the box. as far as batteries go, can i run lipo on a mini-t? i'm gonna do a brushless motor in the future anyways, so i figure i can go ahead and get batteries that i can run the brushless setup with.
how much is a replacement servo? if its cheap i'll just get a new one.

http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products...rodID=LOSB1091 Here is a link to the stock servo. And you could probably get away with running a 2s lipo with the stock radio gear. But have to get new receiver, esc, servo to go brushless.
