I hope!! I need Reyzo to come over so we can race on it a bit!

I'll totally come over when it's done! Oh, I finally got my mlst fixed and then I stripped out both diffs while rock crawling in my front yard. I'm gonna upgrade to a set of the steel mlst2 units. And I finally got a boat!!!! I got the mini rio from a hobbyshop by me for $80 It'sthe yellow one so I bought the stickers for the blue one cuz I like it better. And I've got some big plans for it too in the future...

Happy schwenzo

It tecnically is done! Its all smooth, all the boards are up, and all the jumps are built. The only thing thats not done is the expansion.
I will be working on that today and tomarrow, so i should acctually be done tomarrow with the expansion!
Just pm me when you want to come by!
And when you do bring your m18nt! We wil have a little electric vs. nitro showdown

Id go with the mip ball diffs for your mlst.
They seem to be the most adjustable/durable.

Actually I'm going to go with the mlst2 steel units cuz Im gonna throw somw jb weld in um and just lock um up I would like to get my m18nt running but it needs about $30 worth of parts, new servos and tires. The ones that come with the power pack are just plain suckish! They never center right. My modified mini-t is still running strong though! I love it, its my baby! I cant wait to get my mlst runnin though, it'd be awesome on that track!

I think the servos are fine, i have the same problem with mine, its not the sevo though, its the servo saver. Take the save roff and put a mark on the output shaft and case, then test out he servo to se if it retures to the same spot.

I think any 1/18th would rock on the track! Especially the mlst.

As for the tires, i think the pro-line dirt hawgs would hook up good, and i have an extra worn set of tires that you could use. traction is good with any tires even slicks if you got 4wd!

Ive heard mini late models do good on cement

I am goint to order the parts from my lhs soon, Im getting mlst2 diffs cuz they're cheap, durable,and easily replaceable. I am going to semi lock them with diff lock putty. As for tires, I have a masher type losi tire on my mini-t, not sure waht it is off the top a my head. My mlst has the stockers, raminator tires, andpin tires too, the pins prolly will hook up good too on ur track! I would love to het my 18nt going but I don't have enough funds to ge parts for it(curse my crave for a mini rio! ) It needs two servos, and a new set of tires cuz they're bald and one got badly ripped somehow, I'm not sure how it happened, but it did...I got a new motor for my mini rio, too. Its the duratrax VR3, it's the oonly 380 motor that fits because the rio has a much larger can diameter than a regular 380. And the motor mount dosen't let you use a regular one due to the way it holds the motor down. I also ordered some stainless steel tube to make a cooling coil for the motor. The stocker has a water cooling plate wich gets the job done but isn't very efficient. Next i'm gonna get a x427 berylium-copper prop(i believe it's from octura) and a streamlined prop nut just for looks. In the furure I plan on putting an amo bruchless in it, okay, I'll stop rambling now, cuz I think I'm rambling....*continues rambling*

Sounds good reyzo, and check your servos like i told you in 5 posts up, it could save you some money.

I have spares you could barrow for you xray, so dont worry bout that.

Thanks! I checked um and even out of the car with nothing attached, they still dont center right. I checked all my endpoint settings etc, and they still dont work...

Schwenzo

Heres a pic of my micro, xray m18t, and xxx-t:



I should have more pics tomarrow

Lookin good mtm, I like the tire!


Schwenzo

Yeah its looking great. Oh, and your dog must be getting used to it because she's looking at something in the neighbors yard (in the last picture).

Your micro even your mini looks very well at home on that. I hope you didn't get that tire off your neighbors car! Every time i look at this track it just keeps getting better.

Yeah mtm it looks awesome you should make us all tracks
