Default RE: mini-t run time

I have no idea how fast my Mini-T is but it is very quick--the Peak Racing Chubby runs very good. I also stayed away from most all titanium parts since I would rather keep the weight down and have both the cheapest and easiest parts be replaceable instead of the next weak link.

RS300 synthesized receiver (for use with a JR XS3 crystal less-radio transmitter)
Peak Racing Chubby Micro RS4 Mod Motor
Novak GT7 ESC
HiTec HS-5125MG servo (programmable metal-geared airplane servo)
Venom-Racing 1100 & Peak Racing 1200 Ni-MH 6-cell battery packs
Losi Bearing kit
Losi Oil-filled Shocks (35 front, 40 rear)
Megatech Mini-Z LED front and rear light kit
Mini “Smasher” Rear Tires w/ Chrome Rims
-Step-Pin Rear Tires for spares (both Chrome Rims & Yellow Rims)
-Stock front tires and gearing
And some freaking wheelie bar to help keep it from flipping over on the asphalt and ozite carpet (on dirt, it's fine).



I purchased the LiPo for the Xray M18, which is having ESC problems. I've already consulted Shawn at Castle Creations about the ESC and it appears that it would be better and probably simpler to use the Mamba-25 speed control since it has finally been released instead of the Castle Creations "airplane" speed control that is in the M18 now.
