This is my 3 year old Mini T. I have added oil shocks, ball bearings and the aluminum steering assembly. Also road rage tires and rpm spider wheels. Always wanted to really hop it up but never did. Posted Image Well we are going to the beach next week. So I decided to get it back up and running and order some sand paddles and a bug body. Well the tires and body turned into a very large order from multiple online stores. This is what I have received so far. Posted Image Bug body GPM F and R aluminum shock towers 3 Racing Graphite chassis and bulkhead stiffener Atomic Titanium Turnbuckles So far im happy with the parts except for the turnbuckles. They have lots of slop. Now assembled Posted Image Posted Image More to follow. |

Dude. Your paddles are on backwards. :thefinger: Looks sick! Do you remember where you got the Alu. steering parts? I've been looking online, but haven't found much aside from the link that connects the two pivots. |

Backwards? it is just set up for crawling. The aluminum steering was from hobby town, it still has some slop it it also. I thing it was dynamite but they don't make prats for the mini t anymore. I saw some on ebay last night. |

small update!!! Got to drive it in the sand :D Amazing how much traction the paddles have, kinda like driving on pavement. But sand has gotten inside the motor. Im hoping it is just inside the bearings. Soon it will be converted back to brushed, need to keep the Mamba esc in one of the crawlers. updated pic Posted Image Posted Image also had some spectators. Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image |
