front tyres for Mini-T

[James]

I've read that some people have used step or taper pin tyres on the front of their mini-T's, interesting.

I'm considering trying my worn stock rear taper pin's on the front.. or something. the rib's are generally not that great... hrmmm

I know BB run's the smashers? I think...

I'd love some of those topcad alloy wheels, they are just bad bad bad! haha, will go well with my old school hauler truck body thats coming soon..

[opAsx]

i have some top cad alloy rims i wont be using if your after some

nfi what they are worth.

they were from justo's car.

really not my cup of tea, make an offer if your interested. they still have the fake brake discs etc and have been used for 4 minutes since i have had them.

[opAsx]

oh i THINK they are topcad rims, nfi really

[justo316]

Yeah they are. I think cost US$20 + shipping from RCmart and came with a cheap set of racing tyres.

[opAsx]

was that for all 4 or for the fronts?

hardly seems worth selling... :P

[justo316]

all 4. Yes they are pretty cheap!

[opAsx]

ah ok...

James PM me if your after them :)

[Bowling Ball]

I was running Smashers but they are heavy and not very soft. I have gone back to the original fronts. I found that worked better.

[BALISTC]

Its very simple.

Razors on front, paddles on back :D

Do you really need anything else??

[James]

Joe, haha. nice one. but no SAND where I race :) (much)

[BALISTC]

I'm yet to buy my paddles for the T....PHC only had the fronts when I went in because some goose didnt buy the front razors with the paddles, and everyone else hasnt got em...model flight have em but I'm not paying their shipping costs just for 2 pairs of tyres and rims!

[T4Trasher]

those tyres should be in today or worst case scenario monday!!!!

[BALISTC]

NICE!

I'll pop in Monday after my exam, or Tuesday to grab em

[James]

Joe, if you want to do a model flight order, maybe we could work something out with other's here? I could always do with a few 'T' spares... I'd rather buy local, but if you need the parts? then again, by the time the order arrives, a local shop will have them.

[BALISTC]

Yeah I dont need spares, I stocked up already...but if anyone wants to do a model flight order, I'm sure there will always be something I need, so I'll be in that for sure :P

Stock up on shock repair kits ;)

Still gotta get another kit to fix mine. The 1/18th's have been put aside for now, bloody weather.

BB !silly

[opAsx]

do the rc18t shocks fit the mini t?

the mini t oil shocks are shithouse

[justo316]

hahaha....and I remember seeing a mini-t shock conversion for the rc18t on one18th.com!

[BALISTC]

Believe it or not, the RC18T shocks are shit compared to the Mini-T ones, and people do the conversion for that reason!

The Mini-T Oil shocks are one of the best ones u can get for the Mini-T, with the BRP ones being the best....if you build the Mini-T ones properly, they are great...I put thread tape on mine and they havent leaked yet ;)

For the record, I got shock rebuild kits as spare already...went on a spare parts frenzy at PHC 2 weeks ago.

[opAsx]

hehe one of mine has leaked like hookers snatch and is all but useless now. :(

[Bowling Ball]

You can replace the plastic seal on the Losi shocks. They cost around $6 for a pair.

Losi shocks - the trick is to use a thick grease on the plastic seal threads. it works like a charm. Most do, everyone give me positive comments on my Mini-t's suspenion.

RC18T shocks are good, If you know how to build a shock properly. They have a bladder in the top of them so its dead easy to get rid of air bubbles.

BB !silly

Edit - Stupid emotes are case sensitive!

[James]

BB, dont buy a shock repair kit, I'll get a new one for me and bring you your part...

can you rebuild my shocks for me? your the master! *bows down* (no wang thanks)

[Bowling Ball]

I can show you how I do them, no problems

BB !amazed
