lol
we had snow but the rain took it all away. an rc sled would be cool; theyre are some good ones out there but pricey the cheap ones need lots of mods to be any good. the kyosho blizzard all modded is pretty cool; some neat vids on youtube. I'll check out your channel. Quote:

im sure you could mod it to brushless with your skills . |

Will the Micro Brushless Rally run okay on 2S or 3S LiPo packs? The pack it comes with is a 4.8v NiMH, so a 2S at 7.4 seems a little high and a 3S at 11.1 seems insane... but the manual on their site has an optional parts list and both of these batteries are on it.
An internet search turns up people having problems with 2S (servo works, esc won't spin motor), but 3S working. But I can't tell if these are the old vehicles with the optional brushless upgrade or this one with it already installed. |

Are there any other things that are worth it? I see they have a ton of aluminium parts, though I was surprised a chassis wasn't one of them. Edit: Or could you mean Ring & Pinion Gear Set: Micro SCT, Rally, Truggy by Losi (LOSB1760)? |

Yeah, I was referring to the LOSB1752. I haven't tried any of the aluminum parts. I'm into performance-enhancing upgrades, but I'm not into bling. There has to be a tangible performance or longevity benefit for me to be interested in upgrade parts. I've been thinking about tightening-up the steering & getting a more precise steering servo.

I just bought a couple of these little guys. We have adult kids showing up for Xmas so this will keep the gaffers busy. I own an airplane hangar at the local airport and built a mini track just for these things! Should help to get rid if the winter blahs as the flying weather here is horrble this time of year.

With the 2.4ghz system - 2s to 3s 2s wont cause any issues stock (am or 2.4ghz), but 3s with the 2.4ghz setup may cause over heating issues. People usually add cooling fans, heat sinks, aluminium motor mounts, etc to help with the over heating issue. I havent changed my gearing from stock (12t pinion and what ever the stock spur is), but with the aluminium motor mount and cooling fan everything stays rather cool. EDIT: Also I use the 8750kv LOSI motor If you are using 2s it pays to have a decent charger, because if the 2s lipo is charged over 8.4v the esc picks it up as a flat 3s and kicks in the LVC. Playing with the steering until the voltage drops below 8.4v works if you encounter the issue |

Are there any parts that tend to break? I like to have a couple spares on hand for frequently broken parts, but I've no idea what might break on these guys. |

If I 3S, I'll keep in mind the motor mount and fan. I'm still not so great with the whole motor kv rating thing... what would be the point of using their ~10kv motor vs. the stock 8.7kv motor? |

Best choice for kids?
HI,
I'm new to RC Cars (been in planes for a while though) and I was thinking of getting a couple of the micro sct's for my 7 year old and 10 year old for Christmas. There's a 19 year old and 53 year old around the house that might want to play with these also. Anyway, I was wondering if the brushless/ spectrum version is worth the extra $40 or so. I like the idea of no long antenna for the kids to break off or whack each other with and the extra speed sounds fun for me but would it a brushless be too much for the kids? I was thinking of this car in particular because i wanted to something that was playable inside and out and could handle a bit of rough ground but that I could still afford. I appreciate any thoughts from the experts. Thanks in advance. Mark |

In my house, the car does *not* do very well on carpet. It requires a significant amount of throttle to get moving and quickly bogs down if you go to slowly. Outside, it goes fast and slow just fine on concrete and even blasts through wood chips. I'm going to try using a smaller pinion and larger main gear to see if it'll help on carpet and that'd lower top speed as well if I cared about that much. |
