What did every1 do to there Mini T.

[homer43906]

this is my first post. I am just wondering what all upgrades every1 did to there Mini T RTR trucks. When I got mine a friend gave it to me. All it had was the stock esc/rec setup no motor or steering servo. I used a Tamyia ESC, a 400 mini rc plane brushed motor, a hitc mini servo, and a futaba mini rec. I have a 3000mah 4 cell nimh battery back. I have never clocked it to see how fast it will run but it will stand on the back tires from a dead stop. I get good lap times at my local RC track. This truck is a bast to drive and race. Well Hope to hear what every one else is using in there Mini T RTR's.

Oh man these tonnes you can do to them. First thing is to upgrade to Mini-T Pro specification, then fit brushless and LiPos. There's some nice pics and info of mine on my web site at www.mini-jt.co.uk (http://www.mini-jt.co.uk) :)

Hi buddy, sorry about the late reply,

I have got some piccys of my Mini-T's but they're here there and everywhere on my site. I'll set-up a seperate gallery for it later next week :)

[homer43906]

cool keep me posted. can u tell me what would be a good servo for my mini T? I have been having problems with my hitec servo. please respond as soon as u can...

[Mini-JT]

What kinda issues are you having with your Hitec servo ?

I must confess I've never stripped one but they can go a little crazy if you run them at a higher frame rate if you've got a posh transmitter with this feature.

I'd get one of the newer improved Hitec HS-5055 if you can. Metal geared and digital so fixes all the faults with the older plastic geared analogue HS-55 :) Running a receiver capacitor can also help if your brushless system is starving the servo of power !

[homer43906]

no I am not running brushless and yes I have the older hitec HS-55 plastic geared servo. I am wanting to get a new metal geared servo for it. then get a brushless system for it. I will keep ya posted on how everything goes.....

[homer43906]

Hey JT my servo finally gave out. I am going to order a new 1 and a servo saver here in the next few days I am hoping to anyway. another hitec servo and I found a real nice servo saver total cost is $15 total for both. so not to bad. well will be waiting on ur reply

[Mini-JT]

Nice, you know that you can use the Losi Mini-T Hitec servo saver with both the HiTec HS-55 and HS-5055 as well. I've always used this servo saver and never had any grumbles with it.

I'm pretty happy with my electrics set-up at the moment in the Mini-T Pro. Hitec HS-5055 digital servo, Losi Xcelorin ESC (with Deans batter connectors fitted), Losi 6000Kv brushless motor, Spektrum Micro receiver and diddy 7.4v 800mAh aircraft LiPos to keep the weight down for racing :)

[homer43906]

Cool JT you should post a few pics here in this thread of ur mini t pro. I would like to see it. As soon as I can get some pics of my mini t with the paddle tires on it I will post them on here for you to check out. I want to thank you for all your help. keep me posted on how ur's is coming along.

[Tony Hottmann]

I must confess I went completely overboard with my mini t it started as A RTR about A week after I bought that I bought A mini T Pro then I bought A couple lipos then I bought A momba comp X kit and picked up A spool diff and was pulling 100 foot long wheelies until it started exploding the plastic trans boxes I still havent picked up an alloy 1 :D

[homer43906]

Awsome you really need to post some pics if you have any on my thread.....
thanks again

Three paths to performance upgrade:

1. Cheapest - Just add a Venom Fireball 370p motor for $8 and you'll get better performance.

2. Middle Ground - Go with above and add a 2s Hobby City lipo ($12) and a LVC ($20) or LVA ($5) and you'll have a great setup. You may want to upgrade the electronics (see below).

32. Fastest - EZRun 7800kv/25a brushless combo ($45), Hitec HS-55 servo with Losi Servo Saver ($20), GPM tierods ($12), GPM shocks ($15), Pro-Pulse All-Terrain tires ($1), Traxxas TQ AM rx/tx ($20), HobbyCity 2s lipo ($12)

[homer43906]

[Phyro]

[nonstop,nonstock action]

hitec hs-5055 is a good one.

[nonstop,nonstock action]

does anyone know where i can get replacement hs-55 metal gears? i think they make em. maybe not

[losi min t]

I don't have any pics but I got a 7.2v lipo and a reedy mini mod 17t. Pretty boring but I like it.

What about a lrp modified micro instead of a Venom? Would that be a better option?

[mini highroller]

i put a castle creations micro sidewinder in my mini highroller and put a wing on the back of the truck

[JamesM03]

First thing is to upgrade to Mini-T Pro specification



which is what? :o

[Stretch]

which is what? :o

metal body oil filled shocks, dual disk slipper, all ball bearings in wheels, hubs, and trans, CVDs, and a ball diff.
