I thought I would put a new post in here since its been so quite lately on the 1/18 front.
I bought what I beleive is the ex-Balistic BL Mini T from another forum user via eBay earlier this year. Actually I am still waiting for a feedback from the seller.
I got the Mini T in pretty sad state. It wasnt even a runner, it was in a few peices and had a few missing parts. I even said to the missus that I might have to use her Mini T as a base for this one but I've since managed to get it back to a running condition.
Its been a blast and I have since upgradesd the radio from the Xray radio that was in it, bought a few pinions for it and added both a 7.4 and 2 X 11.1 lipos for a little power but I am looking for opinions on motor options because the 8kv is just to much for anything except showing off and the only place I can get control is on the road and even then its still very uncontrolable.
What do the 5400 or the 4200 motors go like, will they perform well on the track? Any other brands of motor that people can suggest Hacker or Tekin? I'm not to worried about losing a lot of speed because the Mini T doesnt turn very well at 60 or 80 kph anyway.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Maybe I should just trash the whole Mini T idea and outbid Ellenbrock on that Mini Inferno on eBay?? &|
Cheers
