Micro T very hard to drive
sup guys...i have a stock micro t with bearings....i adjusted the gear mesh and loosened the gear case screws and put grease in the diff and my micro T handles very poorly......
It keeps spining out if i turn the steering fast.....its like the diff is still on the tight side....what should i do or is this how they handle since they are so tiny and hard to control???
let me know guys
Thanks

Did "goob" the grease in the diff? Is it a thick viscosity grease? I redid my diff with to "thick" of grease and had the same issues. I ended up using dry teflon lube instead and works great now. With a nice free and smooth diff the lil' car turns like a charm for me. The diff and tranny can be touchy, then again look at its size.
Anyone have pics of that late model body on it yet?

Micro-t handles exactly like the Mini-t. It has a tendancy to 'hook' at the apex of the corner. This is due to rather poor geometry of roll-center and lack of Ackerman. We cured it with the Mini-t by running absurd amounts of toe-out at front. You can also wrap tape around a portion of the front tires. Start with about a third of the tread covered (inside third). It's a quick and easy fix. A strip of electrical tape works fine.
