Some mini-t questions - Chitown R/C - Chicago's Largest RC Car and Truck Community

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?

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...?&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'm not in a hurry. I sent him a PM. Do you know how much it would be if he had it? I might have an idea.

Traxxas_Junkee · (#10 (**permalink**))

UE-Maxx · (#11 (**permalink**))

I am going to send you a PM on my idea.

UE-Maxx · (#12 (**permalink**))

Well revo2k doesn't have the servo. What is a good one to get?

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.
