Hey guys. I've been working on a better battery pack for the Mini-T lately, and this is what I've got.
The pack: 6-cell 900 MAh Ni-MH
Charging: Peak Charged on a Tekin BC-112c
Run Time: About 30 minutes of full power
The truck: Team Losi Mini-T
Setup: Team Orion Big Block Motor
Team Losi Oil Shocks; 25 wt oil front/rear
Team Losi Teflon-sealed bearings
6-cell "Blast" 900 MAh Ni-MH pack
Outcome: My truck rode a wheelie for 35 yards down a pavement road.
On my test track it cleared 10 foot triples easily, and could probably jump further. The overall speed and torque almost doubled!
The deal is I have a couple of these packs built right now. They are temporarily called the "Blast", but I am open to your suggestions. Send me some names you think would best fit the pack, and if I like it, I'll send you a prototype to test. Have fun creating cool names, and I will await your suggestions!
900? I'm already running Peak Racing 1200 and Venom Racing 1100's. My set-up includes:
JR XS3 crystal less-radio transmitter
RS300 synthesized receiver
Peak Racing Chubby Micro RS4 Mod Motor
Novak GT7 ESC
HiTec HS-5125MG servo (programmable metal-geared airplane servo)
Venom-Racing 1100 & Peak Racing 1200 Ni-MH 6-cell battery packs
Losi Bearing kit
Losi Oil-filled Shocks (35 front, 40 rear)
Losi Hard Springs
Megatech Mini-Z LED front and rear light kit
Mini “Smasher” Rear Tires w/ Chrome Rims
-Step-Pin Rear Tires for spares (both Chrome Rims & Yellow Rims)
Stock front tires w/Chrome Rims
Stock gearing.
Yes, it wheelies like crazy (asphalt, ozite, who cares) and run time (the way I like it) is 15 minutes. I also don't care to run Mini-Zs any longer than 15-20 minutes max on a set of rechargeables.
Yes, but the MAh is just how long the pack will supply power to the car. A 900 pack will be just as fast as a 1200, it just won't run as long. Now why this pack runs for 25 minutes, and yours runs for 15 baffles me. Yours should run longer. And i do agree with you, usually I only want a battery pack to run for one 5 minute race, but I also need one for bashing at my house for half an hour, stopping and making jumps, tuning the track, etc..
I can agree with you there, You have hotter Electronics in yours. I'm still using the stock ones. But I'm swapping them out with new ones in about a month. But for now it is fast enough.
hey would you be willing to sell one of ur packs because i NEED batts.
my ic3 charger died so i thought ide upgrade to packs and i want a good one and from what you say they sound NICE!
so email me at fit_trls_ridr@msn.com
thanks and well talk

I think the contest is still on so well i kinda have two names Couldn't decide which one.
Batt.* Out of heLL
*(Batt. abreviation for batteries)but your suposed to say it like the song
Or something more simple The Ripper!
Because it sounds more Menacing than the Blast
also sounds like your t rips up the track

I don't have a stock servo as of now that I'm not using. I will soon, as I will be replacing my Stock Electronics with Tekin ones. I'll let you know...
