Some mini-t questions - UE-Maxx - 12-10-2005
I was looking into the mamba brushless system for the mini-t. I was told that it comes with a esc. Is this right? What kind of receiver do I need to use? Can I use a 1/10 receiver or would the plugs not work right?
Are there any better brushless systems for it? Also is there a quick charger for mini battery packs. I want to race it, but that would be hard becuase I would need to charge all the batterys at home because right now I have a charger that takes 45-60 minutes.
Thanks.

ok, most of the packages come with an ESC, u can use a regular pack but if u get a LiPo pack it will be alot faster, and im pretty sure that you can use a regular 1/10 reciver, just make sure that u have a ball diff, i was shredding stock ones with a speed motor, lol u know my SN if u have anyothers, also im sure others know more than me

I ran a mamba 8000.
You need a new servo and reciever. The esc plugs into any receiver, I used the same one my maxx used in my mini t. The mini t is now on ebay though.

All the mamba competion and sport packages come with the mamba 25 esc. And you can run any 1/10 reciever, but make sure it fits correctly in the Mini-T. I used the Novak XXL receiver on my 18T and a futaba r133f receiver on the mini-T and they fit perfectly.

So I would be able to use my spektrum when I get it and in the mean time use the one from my bandit or maxx until i get it running?
New servo and ball differentials. Where can I get these and what kind of servo do I need?
Some mini-t questions - Traxxas_Junkee - 12-10-2005
i think revo2k might have a servo that will fit it, from when he had his mamba but i dont remember PM him, u can get a ball diff from any hobby shop that has 1/18th stuff, i have an MIP one. http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXGZM2&P=7 just be sure not to over tighten the screw in the out put shafts, i did that and it snapped right off, also i had to drill out a little bit around the diff case because the new yolks were rubbing and it would bearly move. i have the rebuild kit if u need more of the balls, my advice would be to get a pringle lid, or a gartorade top or something like that and then magnatise a small screwdriver to pick up the balls because some of them are so small u can barely see them on the desk. just be careful, lol

I have 3 hs55's Im sending into HITEC, they are all broken, don't buy hs55s.
Some mini-t questions - UE-Maxx - 12-11-2005
Ok.
Where can I get a good servo for it? I don't see any on tower or am I just not entering the right words into the search.

I hate to blatantly refer you to another site, but the owner of the rc zone is really good with mini t stuff. I bet if you ask there they will answer it well.

either just go and register, or I'd rather you click my link to register.
Your choice

tower doesnt carry losi stuff, so they might not have an after market servo for it

Thanks t to the maxx2. I will use your link to register. I am going outside to try and get rid of the extra snow around the curbs so we can park someone other than our driveway. Small driveway and 3 cars don't mix to well.

I have a HiTec HS-56HB that I had in my mini-t and now in my RC18t.

really good servo but the Mini-t was not really designed for it so you will have to do a bit of modifcation to get the servo to fit.
