My Custom - Micro T + Case + Ramps

Post by nazcom83 »

The Case:

As u all know, micro T's don't come with a case to keep them in when your not using them or when u are taking them out with u... so I though I would make my own... and here it is...

Image

Image

I made a mesh tray, which I painted black to sit the batteries on while they charge... I also added a 40x40mm PC, powered via a 9v PP9 battery, which will kool the motor down between runs...

The Micro T :

now for the micro T side of things... my current spec is:

- ********** bb motor
- ball bearings
- alloy shock set
- alloy front skid plate
- threaded steel Wheel shaft shafts

and of cause, the custom hard plastic body, which as u can see I am still working on... lol...

Image

Image

Image

the body I got from a 1/32 nissan king cab - Tamiya kit... which I have had to cut the rear cab out of to make the body lenght shorter to fit the micro T's wheel base...

The Ramps:

Here is a pic of my frist 2 ramps I made from cereal boxes...

Image

I will get some vidz made soon....

Update:

just added a better longer aerial, along with the new rims and another body, which I will use along with the custom one, once I get it finished... lol...

I also made some spacers to stop the adjustable o-ring slipping back up to the top, on the HR shocks... I kut up some spare tubing from RC aerial to make the spacers with...

after seeing a tut Suzuki did using some plastic tubing from wire end connectors...

Below is a black widow spider design I did, which I will print onto some decal paper for the sides of the above body...

That case kicks ass! I need one now. :lol:

It'll be cool to see that Nissan finished. On the black one those are the wheels I wouldn't mind having either.

Dear Life Cereal, Where do you get off? Part of a balanced breakfast and delicious? Who do you think you are? By now you may have guessed I'm speaking ironically and have nothing but good things to say about what you do. Life cereal do not change a thing.

Jump the dog, jump the dog! :lol:
Man, I was jumping over the cat over and over again. Then when I told my wife to grab the camera, he decides to finally move.

Cool vid. I like the last shot of it coming at the camera.
