| That would still be insane rpm!
I would go with a fiagio motor, they are a lower kv, but you can gear em to the moon, and the have tones of torque! | |

| thanks guys.... no dirt for this car though lol! If you owned it and built it, itd be easier to understand LOL!
anyways... I'm uploading pics now... so hold your horses.
as for the range... the range was fine, i threw the reciever in my xxx-s and rolled to the end of my street and back (in otherwords, too far for me to see a micro lol) but the 4s lipo and the mambas bec are not the best of friends, so i had to throw the stock nimh in the battery box and use a friends losi dsm radio. it looks hacked for now, but once i get the funds for a quark 22amp: can handle 5s lipo and still ave a working bec. it will look a lot less cluttered, and cut probably 50 grams off the 200gram weight! LOL! btw... random fact, a stock losi micro-dt is 117grams with the battery. | |

| Lmao if you can try and find a mini-x receiver (I think its 27mhz AM) but its uber small.
I can tell by the boldness of your tires it worked fairly well! | |

You didn't read the add did you? "This is a new Body from BRP for Your Losi Micro T. It is 1/36 th scale. It is a clear body not painted as shown. Includes window masks. Made of tough .030 lexan to give Your vehicle more crash resistance. Rear portion of body can be cut out and used as a side dam or rear spoiler. easy mounting using the stock body mounts." That might work, I was thinking about the height of the electronics, but it might just work. If you take the car to the hobby shop they probably have on in stock (at least ours would) and you could test fit it before buying. | |
