I'm going to go with this radio now.

It's the same price as the JR XS3 Pro.

That's the DSM Spektrum one? Was looking at it at the LHS the other day.. Looks nice, but I think it's just the JRxr2 or something with Spektrums name on it, and goodies inside. Comes with the same JR servos as the XS3Pro...

Let me know how you like it.

Yep, its the Spektrum.

I'm looking at all the features. Good deal. Especially the feature of eliminating channel problems.

I'm hoping to have this ride wrapped up before Labor Day. Maybe its more like praying, but nonetheless, I want to have it done by then.

I feel a little better about the servo I want now that I've seen it in a ride and seen that I'm not the only one one the planet wanting to use it.

I found this on an Italian forum.

The Mini-T is coming together more and more everyday.

The only items I still need are....

aluminum idler gear
rear wheel pins
silver aluminum ball posts (I have a gold set, I'll use if I have to.)
new lexan body
lexan paint
little foam washers
green velcro
green velcro strap
green string balloons for shocks (Old ones dry rotted off.)

I think thats it.

Today I went out and did this!!!

I bought it at a LHS (A.B Charles), not online or from Hobbytown. I got it for the same price as online and supported my LHS.

Since I got this today, I thought it was time to put everything into one pic.

Here's what I got.

Kokam 1500's

Mamba 6800 (I also have a 4900 that is getting put in my MRS4 right now.)

Here's the link to a biggie sized pic of everything.

I'm ordering the servo tonight.

Why not just break out the Easy-Off and strip the anodization.

That radio is awesome. I've been eyeballing it for awhile, but I'm waiting until the technology isn't so new. Let me know how you like it.

BTW, Greased Lightening is the best for de-anoing something.

Later,
Chrome...

They are gold, like brass, not anodized. I would have done that long ago.

Don't make it so fuckin nice you won't drive it.....lol

Lookin killer man.. That Rx looks a little chunky though. Whats the specs on size?

I was lookin at the same Tx at the LHS too, and my homie that works there said if I got it, I wouldn't be upgrading from the XS3 PRO, but just making a lateral move, so I said fark it.

We need to buy a huge peice of land, and turn it into a bitPimps commune, and have tracks and shit all over the place

Hey sg make sure when you get it running, you let me know how the mamba is. After a while I'll be looking to go brushless with my t(my stock elects are fried right now)
