X2, that was funny he was just relaxing in a comfy spot. My cats like to chase my Micro-T all around the driveway and garage! I set up a little race course with cans for corner markers and they think it's a game!

Default Ordered my Micro DT today!

Just got the word from the wife that I could buy a micro dt for x-mas, Yeah baby!
It was on sell at horizon, so I got some hop-ups also.

Battery Wire
Lipo Battery
Rear Pivot Block/Aluminum
Front Pivot Block/Aluminum
Front Suspension Arms/Aluminum
Rear Suspension Arms/Aluminum

They were out of the Brushless Combos so I'll have to wait on those.:-(

Keep me in mind for the Saftey Meetings fellas, I should have it in 3-5 days!

i got my track finished for the most part today. i used the mats that go under weight and gym equipment. walmart sells a pack of 6 of 17.99. it took 4 packs to get the track i wanted.

so i charged up the lipo and headed to the basement. i didn't have the rails set up good yet and i kept hitting them and they would move so that got a bit frustration and then i blew the tranny.

lipo is to fast for my indoor track lol.

anyone got an rpm bumper yet? i wonder if it'd fit okay on the dt, and if it might look kinda cool to boot? it might look slicker on a dt?

I had one. changed to the aluminum for looks, its a great bumper you can ram a 7.2v lipoed with a atomic BB motor into the wall at full speed and nothing gets hurt.

rpm makes good stuff, no doubt. i'm wondering how it looks on a dt though, with the longer front end. seems like it might just sneak out under the nose of the body, which might look good?

kinda like this?
