| Re: 4xFord's MiniJuice!!!
I refreshed this rig before our Texas State Finals this past weekend. I did the rod end cap mod to the DTX shocks, much smoother. For years now I have been on the lookout for a mini motor that meets my standards of what I need it to do. Torque, speed, start-up, drag, and efficiency. I have run them all, and while a few have the torque and speed covered, they have all had issues with weak drag, getting WAY too hot, and burning through packs entirely too quickly. I have finally found the right motor for me. On stock gearing it has smooth startup, incredible drag, TONS of torque, doesn't get hot until after 20+ minutes of nonstop crawling, handles high voltage and gets amazing run times. Thats a 3s 325 mah pack. No heat issues at the higher voltage, and the pack lasts between 12-15 minutes. I ran this motor at lower gearing at the ACC in Jan and got 6th. Since then this mini has been parked and I shared my wifes the rest of the season. |

Texas State Finals was a blast, and driving the Mini Juice again reminded me how superior it is to the competition. It worked amazingly well, and brought home the bacon by a large margin. Also worth noting that the top 3 in mini's were Mini Juice rigs. |

Nice work this weekend. You were driving that truck like you had been practicing with it a lot lately....not like it had sat on the shelf for the last 6 months. |
