Losi Micro-t

[markbt73]

Since moving to Portland, I haven't been able to drive any of my cars outside. It's winter here, and that means rain. And the nearest indoor track is 15 miles away, and their open practice times conflict with my schedule.

So I have been running my HPI Micro RS4 in the house a little bit. It's fun, and the cats love chasing it, but I'm having a few problems. The slicks and low ground clearance just don't cut it for running on carpet, and the car is still a little too big and cumbersome to run in the living room.

Enter the Micro-T. What a brilliant idea! But are they worth it? Do they hold up? Are they as much fun as they look? Does anyone have one?

The micro T is an excellent little truck. The issue I see is that their too fast for their size and you will end up breaking parts when it slamms into a wall. My advice is get one but also spluge on a few up ups like the aluminum front and rear arm mounts, aluminum rear axle blocks and the lexan steering links.

I saw one with a brushless motor system at a shop once and the speed was ballistic.

They are great. Check into the new desert truck for stability or the new micro raminator so it get over more stuff. The only upgrades u really need are bearings and a 7.4v lipo pack if u want speed. Turning radius is extremely large for such a small car. I managed to break bulkhead but then replacement parts are dirt cheap. Checkout my cat and micro T photos.

On the subject, does anyone know if you can just charge the Micro T battery on a normal peak detect charger by using one of these:

It's fine. The stock battery is just a 4cell nimh setup.
