Ive driven one, and it was alot of fun. It had enough power to pull the front wheels off the ground and it has surprisingly responsive steering on and off power.

I was told the tail rotor motor from the E-Flight RTR pro chopper is the same size can as the Micro T motor. Dont know how you would gear it, or anything...

He he he. Christmas is a week away. I know she got it for me. I could go by myself one, and then have two. Grrr. I guess I'll wait. ;)

Bought one for my son. May have to get one for me so we can race.
From what I can tell they are wheelie machines. Also quick and responsive.

Haven't heard much about mods. Just some adjusting the slipper and some antenna and battery issues. Apparently some of the battery packs don't last too long to start but life gets longer after several charges.

I've driven one around my LHS and they are a blast and for $85 I wan't one or maybe too to make a track in my backyard and race with my friends (even if it is a Losi ;) ).

I think it would take about 4-6 sheets of Ply to make a decent track compared to the video I seen.

Yeah, they tach out in about 12'

I would love to do something on a 16'x16' surface...but my garage isnt big enough.

I do have access to a portable carport. I could do something big outside...hmm, now Im thinkin big and if I want to finish my project buggy(shhhh, its a secret), I need to think smaller...lol

Probably made it for 18th scale and even better for 1/36th scale, bigger lanes!

I have seen 3 micro T'S run they very fast! BUT 2 out of 3 broke the steering rod there made of thin flat plastic maybe they will have an upgrade soon?

That's an awesome track. As far as parts for the Micro T, I am being told you can Mod parts very easily for that bugger. I have 3 more days till I get mine (Hopefully) So I'll let you know what I think then.

We have a micro-t. We bought it for our son and it is a fast little thing. We play with it all the time and you get it on carpet it looks like a frog doing wheelies where it gets such good traction.

I’ve had mine for about a month now and love it. First thing you should do is back off the tranny screws a turn or two, mine was tight and after I loosened it up it pulled wheelies. Next take off the steering links and boil them for about 5 mins, Makes them pliable so they will not snap upon impact with a hard object.

does any one know if boiling the suspension arm would work? cause i already snapped my rear one.

We have four Micro T's in the family. They are perfect for indoor action, plenty fast, and the upgrade parts are coming along well... I added the ball bearing kit to the wheels, helps on the run times. I did break a steering link, but they are easily made from scrap lexan, zip ties, guitar pics... I have even seen them built from razor blades :eek: For the 80 bucks, its a great little truck, I have a good time racing with the kids :cool:
