I get to post over here now, 2 Micro-T's on their way

I bought 1 for me and one for my oldest son, they're coming from RCBoyz but hope to get them this week. They're just so cute that I couldn't resist.

In addition to the 2 micros I ordered a couple of bearing kits for them.

Putting my sons away until his birthday in May but I'll be getting mine out straight away.

I'll have to get some pics up when they arrive

I got them today

Charged it up, had a go around the house, tried to install the wheel bearings, lost a c-clip, found it again.

I'd send up a pic but you've all seen a standard Micro-T.

I'm thinking about taking off some of the stickers.

Hey, the diff feels a bit notchy, does it just loosen up with a bit of use or should I pull it apart?

Yeah they all seem to start out a lil notchy. 3 or 4 runs on a high traction surface will bring it right in. You can also put the wheels on inside out to gain a little more width in the stance. Works well for me. Thefirst thing to go seem to be those pesky steering tie rods. I have made several from that clear blister pack material. I also charge mine with my peak charger set to its lowest setting of .5 volts. Vast improvement in punch and runtime over stock charger. BTW the first thing I did was de-sticker mine

Have fun

Also check out the screws holding it together. Sometimes it comes out of the box a little to tight, and this caused some drag.

Gald you like yours. I can't stop having fun with mine

Rear end ?

Anyone having trouble with there rear wheels. Myright wheel would stop spinning. I took apart and cleaned. Used air to blow out. Reset spur and slpper gear. Seemed like a great power loss. Went into LHS to get parts and check. It was ok. Bought diff. rebuild kit, but it seems 0k now so I did not install yet. Still have power loss. Suspect I need wall charger. I have had car for two months. I originally thought it was engine. Intermitten problem an I have not found. PLease advise, thankyou

I don't have that problem in either mine or my sons. Do you have ball bearings in the wheels?

OK so your right rear wheel does not spin free or is spinning slower than the left side?

The simplest answer could be your e-clip being on incorrectly. See if it is sitting in the grove of your axel correctly.

I'd assume you checked for anything else rubbing the wheel like the dogbone or bushing? The wheel bearings help alot in the wheel hubs here. Could your steering hub be bent or wrapped and rubbing in the wheel?

After that, check your slipper. Just make sure it is assembled correctly. Good luck
