Well, everyone's complaining about the forum dying, and yeah, I'm not the most riveting project guy, cause nothing ever gets done, but... >.> Here's what I'm trying to do:
I think my siggie lists my trucks, but I have a Mini-T(first hobby RC, *WOOT*) and a Mini-LST, and neither are in working order, sadly. Well, I decided to fix that, and got some parts at Hobbytown yesterday, and I'm working on getting my Mini-t running. I guess I'll turn this thread into the painfully slow progression of my Mini-T and MLST. The MLST is gonna be a bit of work to figure out what the devil is wrong with it, and it'll be a bit more expensive, so that's for way later. Anyways, Mini-T: It hasn't been running for probably a year now.  And most of the reason is b/c I haven't had a soldering iron or didn't know how/what to do when I did. So I'm just gonna suck it up and screw it up. lol Anyways, I got some bullet connectors, b/c my old Trinity Mini-monster motor quit on me, I think it was the brushes, and that's way past my ability to replace, so I just bought a new motor, got home and realized, "Hey, wrong connectors.... *facepalm*" And before yesterday, that was the last that was done with it. Well, I went yesterday, tried to figure out what to do with it, and the guy helped me decide to use bullet connectors, and I went with the 3.5mm instead of the 2mm, b/c they'd be easier to solder for me.  So, I'm going to be getting outside tomorrow to get my roller back into running shape. Hopefully I'll have some pictures going up soon, so y'all can see the minuscule progress.  List of things to do: Solder new connectors Rebuild leaky front shocks Paint Escalade body w/ blue and silver(hmm... Dallas Cowboys theme, maybe?) Maybe some new tie rods I'll keep this as updated as I can!  -------------------- Mini-T
