R/C Garage

This month has been an R/C garage month.

Micro-T:
I have the HIGHroller conversion almost complete.  I just need to get the ESC/Receiver mounted and all should be ready.

SCX10 Trail Honcho:
The Honcho has been converted over to 4-link rear setup.  From what I have read on 3-link vs 4-link, this will give better articulation in the rear with no axle steer.  For the crawler that's already my best, this should just make it better.

SCX10 Dingo:
I installed a DIG transmission, but ran into problems with getting the rear back together. It seems that even though the SCX10 is listed as compatible, it appears that you need to have a specific setup. I got a few parts ordered to make it a 4-link rear setup (which I was planning on anyways), and hopefully this will work. If not I'm going to have to figure out how to fit the DIG transmission to the Trail Honcho.

TLT-1 Rockbuster:
I decided to get the TLT-1 up and running, so a rebuild was in order. With the manual in hand, I got the truck apart and back together.  Unfortunately this model is discontinued, so an extra belt and spur gear are not possible.  With that I put in a brushed system instead of going with brushless.  Now I just need to setup the electronics and take it for a run.

EXO Terra Buggy:
After not being satisfied with trying to use my Castle Creations Mamba Max setup in the Dingo and not wanting to put that powers the TLT-1, I decided to put it back on the EXO.  While I had the EXO opened, I changed out the spur gear.  Since I still don't want crazy speed so I changed to a 50/14 gearing.

E-Maxx:
The E-Maxx was making a loud noise after the last run, so I decided it is next up.  I got the gear cover off and one of the pinions slipped.  I got it set back on and used some tired lock on the screw.  While getting it back together the shocks looked dirty.  Time for a shock rebuild. Oh what fun. With the shocks apart , I decided to do the whole truck.  I hope I can get back together ok.

Micro-T Project Part 2

I got everything disassembled. And I dub thee: Micro-T HIGHroller.  Yeah I've got to work on my name calling.

Micro-T Project

Yep. The Micro-T is in the garage again. This time for a major overhaul. I've been looking at the Losi micros and wish I had picked up some of the other models like the Micro Baja and Raminator. But that never happened. One other model caught my attention. After some looking around, most parts are still available (minus the wheels/tires and screw set).

 So now it's time to turn this:

In to something close to the Losi Micro-HIGHroller:

The only other downside to this project is I only have parts explosion document as reference for assembly.  We'll see how this goes.
