So, what else do I need?

[BALISTC]

Well as everyone probably knows, I have a Mini-T Pro with the following..

Pro options IE ally shocks, bearings, ti turnbuckles, slipper, clear motor cover, ball diff, CVDs, etc.

Mamba Competition setup (6800 motor and ESC)
Dynamite ally steering
Hitec HS-81MG servo with adjustable steering rod (custom!)
Front & Rear Graphite Lower Suspension Plate / 2 pcs
Graphite Steering Saver Plate
Graphite Front Shock Tower Plate
Graphite Steering Servo Mount
Rear Shock Tower Mount & Graphite Plate
Graphite Chassis Conversion Kit
Graphite Front Bulkhead Stiffener
GPM titanium hinge pins.

2 bodies....Pro body modified for 8 cell, and a Mini CK body for my 6 cell pack.

I am also on the hunt for some proper pinions.

Now, what else do I really need to finish this beast off?

Wheelie bar ;)
Titanium hinge pins.
Some bling bling rims.
Associated protective covering for the chassis when you get it. I have some left over 3M film, but it's just not thick enough to last.
More batteries!

A second job to support your Mini-T love child! :D

With all this chat about Mini-T's ... I think I might get myself one!

This website is gonna fast become a Mini-t site :D

[James]

heh, nah, it's an anything r/c with wheels site. Joe's gone mad and he's on a hop up spree!

hacked my mini-T down the new housing estate nearby, fwah, awesome. must ditch crap pinion, need slipper, need bearings, need ball diff. haha

James, you're not getting any cogging problems at all with the "losi" pack? What's the acceleration like? Do you find it takes off slowly?

[James]

yes I get 'cogging' probs. when pack is right off the charger, it kicks arse, for a small moment, then it starts cogging, then it is slow to get up to speed.

I set the timing to the one before the max, and set the start voltage to normal (mid setting).

I'll probably just go LiPo's.. that'll fix it, heh, will be a while yet though.

Damn, 8 cell is TOO FAST....cant ouch full throttle at all because it flips...I think I bent one of my Ti turnbuckles when it got into a death roll yesterday! That was on normal timing with medium starting power. I get a tiny bit of cogging if I go from full reverse to full forward, but I feather the throttle and its just fine. I might have to put it back to low starting power to reduce cogging and to allow me to DRIVE the damn thing!!

James: Already got GPM ti hinge pins, they arrived TODAY along with the 3 Racing gear! WOOOOOOOOT!!!!!

Oh, I also discovered that my body DOES fit with the 8 cell, it just has to be centered properly or it pushes against one side of the body. I'll be putting some foam spacers on the chassis to keep the battery centered at all times! I knew the foam inside the Mamba box would come to good use one day ;)

[James]

nice one! !clap
