Wow, even I'm impressed with that.
More and more I'm looking to get into the micro-T craze.

Make your current Micro-T into a Micro-B(aja) requires 2 part sets

1. Front Shock Tower & Rear Body Mount - Micro-B
2. Micro Baja Body (Being Losi they only have Painted ones to start with).

If I have the extra cash I may think about getting a Micro-B(aja) if not I'll wait until the clear body is released in 5-6 months (that's aproximate time it took Losi to release the clear Micro-T body after original release) to get the parts and be able run both styles depending on mood.

edit:

Checked the price list for the Micro B and it has these parts listed.
LOSB1506 Micro-B Fr Tower/Rear Body Mount.
LOSB1547 Micro-B Body Clear w/stickers.
LOSB1571 Street Meat F&R Chrome Mounted.

I'm going to buy the whole car. I really feel this scale could take off like 1/18th did. Ever think we will have a AWD car :twisted:

Actually yes, I'm surprised that rumours haven't surfaced by now.
I was taking a quick glance at the micro T chassis, and it seems that the front suspension impedes the possibility of front drive shafts.
AWD is definately do-able, with belts maybe?

That's been on Horizon's site (and on backorder) for months.

My wife found this on Integy page today. We have to return some bad CVD's for my Mini-T and she hollered enough to get a discount on a order from them. I'm getting some Aluminum for my Micro-T.

3 Racing has something new.
Graphite Chassis
Main Micro-T Page

Plus I've been hearing from a knowledgeable source that Integy buys their parts from 3racing and possibly GPM and Hot Racing gets theirs from GPM.

OH here's GPM's HK site. GPM HK
Their parts list for the Micro-T.

Well dad, that takes care of the monster beetle jr. issue (can't find any stateside) :o

Aluminum is good and all, too high IMO, but I'm holding out for the titanium stuff :lol: But in the real world......... :-?

A 4wd micro-t can easily be done like the 4wd pedes that I've seen;
2 trannies and the rear hubs turned 90* attached to a flat piece of plastic at the outer hinge on the front arms.......

AWW man, not another project for me to start. Now look at what you did :lol:
