it has a mamba swinder micro with a ezrun 18t motor a savox micro servo
and im using the yeahracing 8anator batts
but i have few issues with it firstley the ball cups are rubish if any thing hits it they just fly off evey where also a servo saver for the savox would be good but im not sure what will fit as ime new to micro stuff also

Yeah k factory ball studs work but end of line has no more. I used RC18 fixed size camber/toe links. I cut the ends off and drilled them. Never poped off again. cheap too. think there about 2.50 for a pack.

Do what i did an go the full hog and upgrade to 1/10th turnbuckles and ball studs..

Anthony,

Which Savox did you use? - SH0257MG? - works ok?

Me and my lad want to get into 18th and have got a couple of exotecs on the way so was just speccing up what we need.

Mate the savox servos around 20quid are brilliant, theres a fast one but has less touqe or theres a slower one with more touqe. Around 18-20. XTM make tidy little servo savers to fit them too.

Are you running nationals end of the summer? First things first you'll need to upgrade to make it reliable. Rear hubs and rear shock tower and motor plate. have a look on end of line for some cheap bits for them.. Other thing is the ball cups and ball ends. there pants, I used k factory ball studs and RC18 cups. if you can find them the 3 racing ball cups for mini t are amazing.

If you want to go all out then try get a full ally front end as it really sharpens up things and fits much better than the moulded stuff. go for the K factory stuff not fast trax. Lots less slop in the k factory stuff. A must is a spring tuning kit, very valuable thing to have. Shocks are around 50wt front and 30wt rear, stand the front shocks up and lay rears down, USE LOSI STREET MEATS lol

Apart from that longs you have the Mini t pro its quite awsome as it is. But keep some diff build kits on you. They wear away after around 3 meetings. I have and have just won the national title with one and its been brilliant i used the exotek tub chassie as its legal, the carbon one can only go into 16th class. put a little weight in front to keep nose down a little. I use a 9kv motor lol turned down alot.

Thanx Scotty,

We are going to be doing this for fun to begin with; We have already received our 2 MXB kits (very nice carbon) so looks like, if we did decide to race, we would be with the 16ths.

Savox 257 on the way, with the XTM servo saver; Intelect 1800 30C hard case lipos and EZrun 25A esc with 18T motors also on there way.... Spent out for now but should have the pair up and running by easter.

Got to sets of 1/10 wheel adapters (and some old TC wheels) so will do a few trips to Ardent to get used to them

I'm guessing it's gonna be a whole lot more twitchy than our 1/10 buggies and even our 1/10 tourers but will not be taking it so serious - Max will be ok (at 12) but my reactions (at 52) are slowing up.... Parts are cheap
