I have a Mini-t. Its old but i love the dang thing. So lets start some of my questions shall we.

1. will my stock esc handle LiPo batteries? Or possibly a brushless motor?

2. i striped one of the screws on my motor cover (the little plastic guard), any easy way to remove it?

3. Ok this one has been drivin me nuts, does anyone know where i can get a baja buggy body for my mini? I have looked all over the darn place and cant find one. I have checked out web sites that sell em but they are like all discontinued. I want one so badly is there any way i could get a body for another rc that would fit or could be moded to fit?

4. I just bought and installed the insane motor from losi i know its small but its my first upgrade and i have had the truck for a long time. Anyways to my question lol, there are a lot of play in my rear wheels, but i still have the plastic bushings, would geting metal bearings help me out in this area?

5. Like i said i got the original mini t and i am wondering if i go with the brushless -esc combo losi is selling would i need to get a new remote/radio if i did this upgrade? If so its not a problem i'll just have to get a remote from back home sent out to me from one of my traxxass trucks.

Alright, well that is all i could think of for the time being, any imput would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again... Ken

Your stock esc will be able to handle a lipo but not a brushless motor. If you are planning on going brushless as lots of rc fans do you will need to get a new esc, preferably a combo. Mamba sidewinder is a good option for your Mini T and comes with an esc.
