nr73 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Hi all My first foray into the micro world arrived this morning, a lovely s/h 4wd micro truggy from johninderby (thanks John!) He has kindly fitted a 2.4ghz Flysky micro receiver so none of that faffing about with crystals for me. It was an ARTR so fortunately the Flysky GT3 I ordered to go with it arrived at the same time. Been zooming it around the office this morning much to everyone's amusement. Secretly they all want a go. Some piccies: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Get a 3s bunged in and watch it fly! Also,fit a set of t-bone bumpers, lower than stock but way more durable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johninderby Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Sigh....another toy has gone and left me. Still it's gone to a good home. John 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nr73 Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 Well it's proving a lot of fun and has livened up a dull day at the office. Even managed a top speed run down the corridor past HR. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nr73 Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 Had loads of fun with this tonight. My 4 yr old lad was building bigger and bigger ramps for it until the battery went Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCbutcher Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I have a losi micro rally I don't know whether to make into a drift or truggy. It can wait awhile atm tho but if I see a exotec chassis ill grab it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nr73 Posted September 20, 2014 Author Share Posted September 20, 2014 Does anyone know whether I can get a lipo that will fit this micro truggy? I'm looking for runtime rather than outright speed, it's a twitchy little bugger as it is! And is there a lipo cutoff that would fit?

Jforce Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I use hobbyking lipos in my Micro SCT so should fit the Truggy. 2S - http://www.hobbyking.co.uk/hobbyking/store/__34364__Turnigy_nano_tech_300mah_2S_35_70C_Lipo_Pack_UK_Warehouse_.html 3S - http://www.hobbyking.co.uk/hobbyking/store/__34371__Turnigy_nano_tech_180mah_3S_25_40C_Lipo_Pack_UK_Warehouse_.html Looks like the 3S is on back-order for UK warehouse.

nr73 Posted September 20, 2014 Author Share Posted September 20, 2014 Will 2S be ok on the stock ESC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I think the 2s may be too long for the tray and plug. The 3s will fit at a push, I had to open mine up and pull the battery plug into the chassis in order to be able to make the connection. Worth the effort though!

johninderby Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) Battery plug has already been moved. Hole drilled to allow plug to be pulled through out of the way. This ESC would be suitable and it is LiPo compatible and is a perfect fit. Good eBay seller as well. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RC-Model-QUICRUN-WP1625-R-C-Hobby-Brushed-Motor-ESC-Speed-Controllers-SE020-/261462420550?pt=UK_ToysGames_RadioControlled_JN&hash=item3ce05fec46 John Edited September 20, 2014 by johninderby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nr73 Posted September 20, 2014 Author Share Posted September 20, 2014 Thanks chaps. I'm going to order a couple of those nano-tech lipo's, already got a LVA on the way, would rather not change the ESC on this with my (lack of) soldering skills. What adapter should I be looking for to go from the JST on the nanotech to the losi micro connector (not sure what the connector type/name is...)
