[Ff6022]

Mate I'm from the uk and I use RCmodelimports.co.uk they r good. Wasn't sure their prices are as competitive as blackstarhobbies or thetoyz. Also they in the uk so don't know wat postage is like for you. However they r a good and trustworthy site which is wat you was asking

[xVeNoMzAsHerZ]

i've found a online store for micro-t's and all this stuff and it is really cheap but i'm from switzerland and i don't know if this shipping prices are true do you know this store and can you say me if this shop is nice no misstake with the price can you tell me ? the shop name is rcmodelimports.co.uk thanks allot ! :))

[cesar11duran]

im not sure...

[nomade7997]

nice job i live in vancouver to and ave micro t all costum .

so let me know if you want play.

tanks

[98Ps3lover]

u coulda got a losi brushless motor

[forresttrenaman]

yes, but they have motor wire problems, and this one was only $9 and it has worked amazingly well so far, and after running it for 10min the motor temperature is only 100f, so it's a great motor for the price, I just ordered the 10300kv version for $7.

[AppGuyReviewer]

@forresttrenaman u from canada right?

[angelsofme]

@forresttrenaman can you please give me the link to the motor that you are using in your micro t

[rdhr151]

@forresttrenaman the motor wires on my 10250kv xcelorin--two of the bullet connectors don't completely connect...theres still a good 2mm gap!

[zainronaldo]

those parts are quite expensive for such a small truck! how much was it in total?

[forresttrenaman]

The thing is that once you get down to this size of truck you are paying for the time involved to make the parts, not the material, all together I would say that this truck is worth about $250.

[zainronaldo]

great job man, i dont know much about micro's but ive built myself a customizer tamiya and i love it it goes to about 35 mph

[slinkyjr85]

ITS WATER PROOF YOU MORON

[Rustyman97]

Anyone know how he found all the parts he would need to do this cause i want to build a slash from scratch

[jumojumo2]

jesus fuckin christ, u rich fucker!!!!!!

[tylerrocks13]

MAN yor smart!! :)

[jos0388]

All of your parts are amazing This should give the best result But the atomic shocks are not the best ( she are bad ) I bought atomic shocks and i regret it the hidrolic is bad. Losi or 3racing shocks are much better.

Thanks

[forresttrenaman]

I have heard that some of the 3-racing or losi shocks leak oil, so that's why I went with the atomic shocks, they aren't as easy to set up, but after playing around with the grease in them for about 20min I am pretty happy with how they perform.

[armyterminator123]

@forresttrenaman i cant let my money go like that

[jos0388]

I've never seen it The result should be amazing  This looks to be fun to assemble

[vlinderbom2]

i looked at the site of losi and wou can buy a RTR one for about $80

[airsoftguys]

why are you building a micro t yet have a micro high roller?

[longsmellyone]

Forrest great job on the videos. Just wanted to know what wheels your using on your rusty. Thanks for all the great tips,You have helped me out alot.

[TraxxasBrothers]

@longsmellyone I think he has gladiators in the front with dirt hawgs in the rear.. i think.

[longsmellyone]

@TraxxasBrothers Thank You

[LithiumChicken]

rather than a screw on your launch pad, use a nail and glue the cork into the bottle with hot glue. that'll give you more pressure, so more lift.

[TheXXSCOPEDXx]

i watched the whole vid lol and i hope u make it really well u obviously are intrested spending all that money lol.

[neyoblood]

i have never bought a "car" online, i want to get interested but i want to know what you recommend?

[trixter117]

build the car

[stephenmills1]

what is a Losi Micro-t?

[themicromodder]

losi is prenounced low-c

[fabtec4life]

is hobby king american or canadain like me

[MrShanester]

american or canadian dollars??

[forresttrenaman]

all the prices I gave in the video where in US.

[technoandrew]

I don't know much about RC cars but these are some sweet parts. Can't wait for the build vid. BTW where is the reciever?

[Atheistprimate]

It is amazing how small they can get RC cars now but after owning a Mini T i decided i cant deal with working on stuff that small so im sticking with 1/8 and 1/10 scale.

[forresttrenaman]

yeah, I know what you mean, and I have no intentions of building another one of these.

[Shadowmaster939]

Damn how you make so much money

[mylvl200wizardpwnsjk]

sweet i cant wait for the build vid :]

[m8kinwaffles]

lol, hekeeps like BOUNCING up and down the car

[IRISH0627]

dude when you find sup thing you like on the toys webs site and its outa stock look on ebay cause they sell there products on ebay to so ya

[forresttrenaman]

I know, that's what I did with the atomic shocks.

[sweis12]

ok thanks

[skaterpro1140852]

I didn't know that it was ur micro on the forum, nice build

[forresttrenaman]

Thanks.

[SuperAwesomeParty]

u no u put ur address in the video

[thegamersheep]

@SuperAwesomeParty I didn't notice it..

[atomicpowerplant]

do u know how to make things to put on the body clips, there made of nitro tubing and zip ties there faster and easyer, if not ill make a vid

[forresttrenaman]

I used those for a while and found that they came off a lot when I was driving, so I switches to "Body Clip retainers", and they are amazing, you will never loose Clips again, and they make it easier to pull your clips out as well, if you search for them on eBay you will find them.

[atomicpowerplant]

heheheh atomic

[iissyy123]

het forrest im just finished building a tamyama 1/18 scale bmw gt3!

[forresttrenaman]

Cool

[iissyy123]

@forresttrenaman yea, the videos will be up but i built it in my camp so i have to laeve it there till next friday

[WExARExLEIGON]

Man guys, dont be hatin. I mean, If you had a hobby you loved you would blow money on it too... I know I blow so much on pointless stuff for my guitar and its basicially the same principal. Eventhough you might be right on some things, dont hate cause somone has a hobby

[1l1keg1rls]

MONEY GRAB - but honestly if it brings you fun go for it

[solarlightning]

@TRTC360 damn chill i never dissed sum1

[TRTC360]

@solarlightning i was just joking geeze.

[stampedevxl]

Dude, your wasting your money, my friend did almost all those upgrades and we both hate it, flips over 24/7, theres always at LEAST one problem everytime you run it, the gears strip, waste. You would have been better off with a mini, plus, you can only use these inside realisticly, because the gear cover isnt a 100% sealed and rocks get in it, and then when your driving it inside, with all that brushless and lipo, you cant even go full throttle.

[phenixking300]

$40 for a wicked tiny carbon fiber thingy?!?! thats outragous

[sweis12]

dude u spendeng hundreds of dolor usd orr canadin or pounds

[nevek20]

@sweis12  he's canadian.

[forresttrenaman]

usd

[xReaClay38x]

lol what the fuck? aha its a rc car.. haha.

[TheSilentTAGGER]

It's electric...

[solarlightning]

go buy a real car for 800

[xXfReeStyLeSk8RXx]

i have a slash but i've always wanted a micro t. lots of fun

[austinhunt11]

its low c

[macdude3585]

how much you spent total???

[forresttrenaman]

about $330.

[Risqeh]

must have cost a ton for what it is! i have a micro-Dt with all aluminum upgrades and i thought that was pricey. lol hope you enjoy it!

[forresttrenaman]

It will be around $350 when it's done.

[DundoreA]

Dude you're awsome

[30GB]

those bullet connectors are way cheaper on ebay i got 20 set (40 in total) for $3 and the lipo reader thing i got for only $1 on ebay and man, you sure spend so much on only a micro t

[mikitymike]

@30GB bullet connectors are a bitch to solder, deans are the best

[30GB]

@mikitymike no they are very easy, just tin the wire and fill the connector half way in solder and get both of them hot and put it in and let it cool

[cfalien]

so... why dont you spend this much on real cars? Much more rewarding.

[forresttrenaman]

I was thinking of getting a real car but the price of insurance here in Canada is outrageous, it's like $1400 a year, and if it needed a new clutch it would be another $400, and that would pay for my Micro many times over, and that's not to mention gas.

[cfalien]

@forresttrenaman well, im just saying with the money you have put into these you could probably have built a very nice car.

[fathead431]

the servo you have wont fit. you need the 5gram version, the hxt500

the 18amp is ENORMOUS for the micro-t. its more appropriate for a mini-t.

[forresttrenaman]

I just got the servo to fit, I had to cut out the back a bit, and now it fits great, but I don't think it would fit in a stock chassis.

And 18a is a lot but that's all they had and I have heard of other people using it and it works great, although I will need to rewire it.

[fathead431]

theyre fun cars, but theyre a real moneypit.

[forresttrenaman]

They are a lot, but when you con-sitter that some people buy lottery tickets every week and spend hundreds a year and never get anything back, that is what I call a Moneypit.

[jessiejames2012]

@forresttrenaman just buy a used rc

[kroat45]

@forresttrenaman where are you from? because my first guess would be that you are from america but you make some vocabulary mistakes like con-sitter instead of consider, not trying to be rude or anything, just curious.

~Kroat

[SPEAKERSRULEMYWORLD]

they are fun but WAY expensive

[afterall30]

hey upload more videos :)
