If you're going to do any off-road bashing the Mini Desert Truck is a better choice than the Micro-T. Micro-Ts are too low and the suspenion just isn't up to the task. The shocks are merely springs and there is very little travel.
I don't know how fast the Mini-DT is in stock form, but if the speed isn't fast enough for you a $15 motor will give you speed that should satisfy you if the stock motor doesn't. I know you said you don't want to spend money on accessories, but I'm just letting you know that option is there.
