Bigjimknickers Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Figured I'd start a thread as I've already bought a few hop ups, I've always fancied one of these & with the German shops kindly letting us have them for under 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geeze Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Thought you might have one inbound after all your recent questions. Just get out there and enjoy it Oh, and shock protectors for the front. Can always use zip ties as a temporary measure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigjimknickers Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 I'm going to kill the motor & esc before any upgrades to that & I'll also wait on the spur before buying the rw racing one. Am I right in thinking this is stock 0.5 mod pitch? 58t spur & 16t pinion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I wouldn't worry too much about stock motor and esc, mine all lasted very well on 2s and 3s abuse. Tx/rx isn't the best though, I found the tx lost it's range very quickly :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjimknickers Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 XT60 soldered on ESC, battery tray trimmed, sr301 installed (TX & RX are in the FS section), calibrated the esc & bound I to my DX3C. Took it out for a little blast outside, it's pretty quick! & yes, soo cute! Gotta keep it indoors a while surely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigjimknickers Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 How'd you like it compared to your old emb Jim? I'm Such a basher I couldn't tell the difference if I'm honest! AJ would be the one to ask that question, but so far looking round it, I'm impressed, it's a lovely looking little machine, but so is the Emb kit! Anyway, guess what? Now my lad is saving for one, so I'm on the hunt for another now! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now my lad is saving for one, so I'm on the hunt for another now! I still love the emb - on the track - out and about i'm all about the 8th's bout the 8th's no mini's. Sorry terrible pun. Would quite like a mini scaled Truggy, though the emb looks a let down and still isn't avail and the mini 8ight-t is silly money uk side.

Bigjimknickers Posted May 30, 2015 Author Share Posted May 30, 2015 Exotec top plate fitted! With spur cover, chewed a thread locked screw up & had a mare getting it out, but it's done, quick test on the freshly mown lawn & it was surprising the way it didn't mind it! Oh, this turned up too: Tidy little T project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevonReviewer Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 If picking one of these up from Germany is there an issue with the included charger? Just need a travel plug? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjimknickers Posted June 13, 2015 Author Share Posted June 13, 2015 They have both UK & euro adapters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevonReviewer Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 They have both UK & euro adapters Thanks thats good to know... my dilemma is choosing between the German Mini 8ight, plus LiPo plus charger OR the FTX Vantage (which comes with LiPo within the RTR deal).... both come in at around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjimknickers Posted June 13, 2015 Author Share Posted June 13, 2015 I can't answer that, I havnt bashed the mini 8B but my lad put 3 packs through the mini 8T today with some pretty bad tumbles & it seemed fine, I've owned a couple of Ftx models & I don't think there very bashable.
