How are the fireball mod motors for the mini-t.
I just bought one and I'm going mamba brushless but have to save some dough first.
They seem really cheap 5 bux on ebay
If anyone else knows any good motors let me know.
Also will I have to upgrade my esc with these?
Thanks

I want to say that is the motor my brother has in his without looking. It's much faster than the stock junk motor.

The stock MiniLST motors work good in the mini-t but I think you have to buy an Orion big block motor mount for it to work.

i got a mini machiene in my 18mt and its really freaking fast with 4wd it works with the stock 18mt esc so i think it would work with mini t stockers but idk. IMO comparable to a small BL but never had a BL motor so thats just my opinion.....

BL is a whole other book bro..... BL and brushed mini motors don't compare from what I've seen. I'm sure it has a lot to do with what batts you run also.
I've never seen LiPos on a brushed motor.

I had the trinity micro monster motor in mine and now a Mamba 5600kv BL, There is a huge difference. Also a gearing change helped alot cause I wanted more top end then lowend punch(still pulles wheelies). The trinity motor was fast and had a lot of grunt but the BL is so much better and I get about 15 minutes of run time before I reach the 4 volt cut-off of the esc.

ok looks like I'll just get a fireball for know. Can't beat the price. What kind of batts you recomend? I know lipo is the new thing but Damn they are expensive. And I heard they can explode!! On my 10th scale I use 3300 and 3600 batts

GP1100 cells are the best you can buy.

How are the venom 1200 batts
I've had awesome luck with my nitro venom products and was curious about the electric stuff.
As you all can tell I'm pretty new to this stuff so bear with me.I don't know alot about the diffrent aftermarket companies yet.
mini-t - Ponch - 08-11-2006
Not sure...

I've had a few venom packs (6 cell 3000mah) and they were pretty much garbage. It's totally worth double the cost for great packs that last a long time.
