Ripon Racer Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Hi, For all of you that have this truck/bug/whatever your prob. thinking what you can do to it now you have had a few goes. Well this topic will be great to get your ideas down for others to try. My first and hopefully not the last mod: Spotted this one on the uk microrc forum I have turned over the wheels to create a wider stance. I simply took the e clips off, turned over the wheel and put the e clip back on. I think it looks great, even better with a lick of paint The Compatible Parts List Motors Feigao LPS 5250 brushless motor - 12x22mm 5250kv Servos Hitech HS-55 Servo.

4_cell_racer Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Have you done the mod steering links yet? If not do them now before you break any of them! Just get a small cable tie...cut it to the same lengh then place the std steering link on top of the cable tie and using a finger drill (with the correct size sril bit) drill the holes Once fitted you won't break the cable tie as they are a lot stronger Here's a pic of my old one with them fitted, also shows a front bumper I made from a old 3 1/2 floppy disk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose your just one of the lucky ones then ain't you rofl From what I've read on other forums.....if you hit/crash ackward then they do break quite easy! I did them straight away so I didn't have to worry about breaking them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ripon Racer Posted January 24, 2007 Author Share Posted January 24, 2007 Body clip wheel mod Lost an e-clip off your wheel? Too hard to use a staple to hold your wheel on? Look no further. First sand away the yellow groove (the inner yellow circle) and then place one of the micro-t's body clips where the e-clip would go. Pliers come in handy to push the body clip into place.

Danny-B- Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 finally got my micro-t today, its class!

Ripon Racer Posted February 6, 2007 Author Share Posted February 6, 2007 Found on ebay some upgrade shock springs. Also note at the bottom a lot of spares are now available. http://search.ebay.co.uk/losi-micro-t_W0QQ...ssPageNameZWLRS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny-B- Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Did the charger mod a couple of days ago, the battery now lasts a hell of a lot longer and with great power untill the last few seconds of a run. Incase anyone is wondering, the charger mod is simple to do. First off find a 12v DC power supply (i got a 12v 500ma) take out the screws in the charger, theres only four on the charger PCB there is four soldered wires 2x + and 2x - , you need to solder the wires from your 12v transformer onto the points that the battery wires go to on the PCB (ask if ya need pics). Once soldered in place i threaded the wire through the same slot as the normal wire goes through, I just shaved a little plastic off arround the casing to allow for the extra wires. Its really easy and saves ya having to use batterys, but if ya really want you can just disconnect the plug and put batterys in, just make sure you dont do both There's a better guide on doing this somewhere, that includes a switch and a DC jack, alot tidier but more hasstle imo.

Danny-B- Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 ? the charger mod ? it 1) saves you having to use batteries 2) gives the battery a full charge, seems to give it better power and longer run times. 3) Saves you using batteries 4) Saves you using batteries 5) Saves you using batteries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripon Racer Posted February 11, 2007 Author Share Posted February 11, 2007 Ive read about the charger mod although I find it easier charging my battery with the stock charger while im making my way to the local industrial estate to race it around. BTW i got fed up of the 'e' clips flying off all the time so i ordered some threaded front & rear wheel shafts : Front Rear 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ripon Racer Posted February 15, 2007 Author Share Posted February 15, 2007 Cool, nice find James. I have found that 'Yeah Racing' products are very good (well the alloy hopup parts are). Might go li-po instead of buying these though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hpi_matrix_stock Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 i wonder what the scale speed of the micro-t is! Find out its actuall speed then times it by 36 What yeah racing parts did you buy ripon? I would go for lipo as well in something this small...just dont go over the top with voltage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripon Racer Posted February 15, 2007 Author Share Posted February 15, 2007 Find out its actuall speed then times it by 36 What yeah racing parts did you buy ripon? I would go for lipo as well in something this small...just dont go over the top with voltage I recon the speed is around 7mph, so x by 36 would have a scale speed of 252mph ? I didn't buy yeah racing parts for the micro-t, I bought the parts for the t4: Alloy c-hubs, rear knuckle arms and bearings. Lipo voltage....hmmm........my spy esc will let me got 8.4v so I will only be able to put a 2s in - no fair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
