martin34 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I am very tempted to get one of these to use when my little boy is at my house .I have a losi micro truggy that I am very impressed with but its not 2.4ghz and I don't like him to use it incase he hurts himself with the areal.Hes just over 2yrs old.

Thunderwolf Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 used mine afew times, small scale really isn't my game.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Just sold a BL micro truggy and for indoor, I prefer the q32. Rather rapid, steering feels a bit too quick at times, bashed it inside and out, really good fun and excellent vfm, IMO. The micro truggy was faster, just too big for inside here.... TW if you think of selling yours, drop me a PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johninderby Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Very impressed with the Q32 considering how little it costs. Maneuverability makes it ideal for indoors particularly on carpets. Have ordered some MLine rubber slicks to see if it improves handling on wood or tiled floors. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khevolution Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 (edited) The micro truggy was faster, just too big for inside here.... Think you hit the nail, with that one, I also got a Lc racing micro buggy, but that is far to fast to have any fun with indoors, and anything smaller is rather crap, so it's good to see there might be an option for a family man who wants to use his hobby indoors... Let's hope this might get some other manufacturers interested at least. Edited May 22, 2015 by khevolution Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khevolution Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 (sorry for the DP ) just had another thought, anybody know what the connector is on the end of the lipo for charging, ive got a little 1s lipo USB charger for my micro drone, hoping that it will do this also, anybody got a picture of the connector in question?

johninderby Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I just use the Q32 usb charger as it's so cheap. This should give you the info though. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SNcc8WAcdZo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewbacca Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I'm another fan of the lil badger, it flies on every indoor surface including thick pile rugs! It flies off the included ramp too, very impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noj Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Not that chuffed with the steering, it will hold a full left/right lock at times... Anyone else had this occur? Really spoils my excellent driving skill.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johninderby Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I've had no problems with the steering. In fact very smooth and holds full lock with no problems. Does that help my driving? Errrr.....not a lot. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Is it suppoed to hold lock after the wheel has been returned to neutral though? I think not.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johninderby Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Something is amiss with the steerng motor then. It is a bit different to a regular steering servo setup so perhaps the motor is "sticking" at full travel? John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I like your thinking....I'll run again and contact MS if there is still an issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveyb84 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Was thinking about these today. Couldn't you use a scalextric tuned motor for these because they are 1/32 aren't they and some of them go like hot snot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyP Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Mine has broken Will go in reverse but won't go forward. Will get it in the post to MS on the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick enough for our indoor space, don't even need the speed tuned gear set, lol. The lipo mod interests me personally.... Six small packs charged at once....lots of racing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveyb84 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 The lipo mod definitely appeals to me too. But was thinking with a lipo, upgrade the motor too. POWA!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 If the stock board can take the current draw of a bigger motor...and of course there's enough space to use the extra power... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flatout! Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Iv just had to return mine, the steering motor went on it, using it loads charge after charge via usb, the one I sent back gad some real hammer, the front suspension arms have a restriction on them, its just a piece of plastic tab to stop the suspension arms going to far, well I snapped then off, and its happened to my new one that hpi sent out with in a week, sent it back and they replaced it with no questions asked, they said it had a electronic folt lol! Id burnt the steering out that is what happened, lol! big landings that did it, but the lipo battery mod gives you 86 minutes run time thats going to burn it out I think, i use mine maybe 4 or 5 time after charging after each 7 minute runs, it takes 25 30 minutes to charge via usb, it was very slow and didn't seem to get a full charge through the tx, usb is the way to go really, apart from lipos that is, but 86 minutes is probably going to burn the motor out after all that run time, as I said I run charge after charge on the first one I had and it burns that out, steering aswell so the drive motor most probably will burn out after long run times, but there great fun and ill always gave one for the money, cheap and most definitely cheerful And yes hair does slow um down and ends up wrapped around the rear axles, if the rear wheels go sloppy from pulling in and off from cleaning, just rub zed bit of emry cloth around the end of the rear axle ends zed the wheel grips again nicly, if you leave it sloppy the wheels just spin in the rear wheels making it adopted rear wheel toque steer lol! Goes in circles lol! You'll see soon lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johninderby Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Think I'm going to leave mine stock except for the slicks. It is a great little car and a lot of fun but as mentioned it is cheap and cheerfull and won't stand up to much abuse and isn't going to last a long time. However considering the pittance it cost I'm OK with that. I'm going to get another one as a spare. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
