and I used all old equipment
old servo.. normal size JR
old Novak Fusion Speedo
and a FMA Warlock reciever...
I am going to make a battery pack asap.. as alkalines do not have that much power... and I am gonna build a 5 cell pack

The Micro is a bitchen little car....had mine about a week and a half now, with some modifications....
Quantum Competition (I know its overkill, but it's small, light, and free!!!!
)
Phaser Receiver
Airtronics 145 mini servo (out of my 1/12 scale)
Custom 6 cell 600mah pack built from a plane receiver pack.
the 6 cell made a HUGE difference. Car is at LEAST triple the speed of 4 cell alkalines. Run time took a major hit...maybe 10 minutes. Not too bad for lots of speed. I've run it at SoCal Raceway and I'm actually pretty impressed on how it works.
Like alot of you, looking for the mod motor. I have 2 more 600mah cells I may try connecting to it tonite.

iTrader: (105)
I got my skyline yesterday and had it built in 2.5 hours, Like all the above said, the ball diff will be a hot seller and the front one-way. These cars are the neatest thing to hit RC in a while. I have drove the mini-z and this car is 100 times better out of the box than the mini-z. Will this be the new class indoors this year???? I think so.

I've had my micro for about a week now and this thing is one of the most durable cars I've had so far. A co-worker and I even played bumper cars with them.
And there is a section on the HPI site that shows ya how to build a 5 cell pack.

Is the MiniZ really not as good as the Micro...
cuz when i think about it...Why not buy a Touring than the micro since they are like the same except for size...
Well, i thin ki still like the 1/24th right now...since there is like so much body for it and the 1/24 model kit bodyies also fits too...
