i was thinking of geting a micro and i was looking them up and had my eye on the raminator

and i was wondering is it good?

and just as upgradeable as the other micros?

i problee gona mosty use it in doors sense i do a cleaning job with my mom and dad and this would be a good past time when i wait till they are done cleaning after me and i got my t-maxx for the out doors

but i herd and seen that the micro is pretty decent driving outside also

i was looking at the mini one but seem like the micro would be the best in doors because of its size and it has a portable battery charger for on the go.

also how long is the runtime and charge time? and how many times can the portable charger charge it before that needs charge?


thanks

I love my Micro Raminator, it's a ton of fun. I drive it inside and outside and jump it a lot, and so far the only thing I've broken it the steering tie rods. It's the same vehicle as the other Losi micro's just with a different body and mounts and wheels/tires so it's just as upgradeable. With the stock battery I would say the runtime is about 8 minutes or so, and it takes about 15 minutes to charge with the stock charger. I run the Losi LiPo in mine and that makes a huge difference in both speed and run time.

Here's a pic of mine with it's big brothers.

are rams any good for racing? and will it wheelie with lipo and no batterie in wheelie bar?

robwiljas

I don't know because I don't race. I took the wheelie bar off of mine and it wheelies like crazy, including rolling wheelies with the lipo. It will wheelie from a stop with the stock battery too. I don't know why they made the battery mount in the wheelie bar because it doesn't need it, and with the battery in there there's no weight on the frot wheels so it wont turn under throttle.

I just got my micro-ram about 2 weeks ago. It is a sweet little truck. Nothing but wheelies if the battery is in the wheelie bar. Move it under the chassis for occasional wheelies. My wife and I like the big tires better than the stock micro-t tires.

cool glade its a good rc and upgradeable like the others

gona get mine today for 75$ at my hobby shop its on sale

than if they got the lipo pack gona get one of those sense i want more runtime


also does the portable charger it comes with charge the lipo to?


also with the wall plug charger that comes with the lipo how long does it take to charge with that?



cool rc robwiljas

rc18kid

tell me how it is please. and the stock charger will not work for lipo, dont try it some times lipos are very sensitive, and may expload lol

rc18kid

oh yea and the charger that comes with the lipo take 30-60 minutes to charge, i think its closer to 60 thoe

gordesky1

is there aftermarked chargers to charge them faster?

i have a old charger that charges 7.4 and 9.6 batterys in 10min to 15min that i use for my old rc which when i first bought it was 99$ i think that was like 10years ago. wish i could use that but it has the 7.4 and 9.6 connectors

i also have the t-max charger is there a converter for that so it charges it?

also whats the runtime of the lipo?


yep will post back when i get it and after i run it for a bit to tell how it is

rc18kid

my local hobby shop has a converter so you can charge micro t lipo and stock batteries on my pirana peak charger and it charges them realy fast, the run time on lipo is like 20 or 25 minutes. im awlso about to my my first micro my brother and his friend have one, i think im getting a micro b or t. its going to be brushless.
i personaly have not tryd it its what my lhs told me

rc18kid

cant wait till you get it, is it in the next few hours lol?

robwiljas

No, LiPo batteries require a LiPo specific charger. If you try to charge them with a non LiPo charger they can explode.

rc18kid

like i said the person at my lhs said with that converter i could charge micro lipos, i dont know?

robwiljas

Losi makes a LiPo converter but it's only for a few approved chargers and a few approved batteries, the micro LiPo's aren't one of them. I'm not aware of any other LiPo converter on the market. You can see the one I'm talking about [link=http://losi.com/Products/Features.aspx?ProdId=LOSB9607]here[/link].

rc18kid

well the one im talking about is designed pacifically for micro lipo. i think it plugs rite into the micro lipo, ill try to find a link.

robwiljas

Well they have adapters but they're for use with a LiPo charger, instead of having to use the Micro LiPo charger. It wont work with a non LiPo charger. Is your Pirahna charger a LiPo charger? If you can find a link to what you're referring to that would be great.

rc18kid

no my pirana isnt a lipo charger, maybe the person at my lhs was wrong, sorry i cant find a link

robwiljas

It's possible, I know they're wrong a lot at one of my LHS's lol. I've searched google for a converter and can't find anything other than the Losi one I linked to.

rc18kid

i found how 2 charge micro lipo on reg. lipo charger, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0nz1Y0tBiQ

rc18kid
