Brushless Raminator

[Metalhead Matt]

I'm wondering how the Raminator will handle a brushless system. How the tranny and diffs would hold up and such. What would you guys recommend? I seen a lipo battery/charger combo on flea bay for under $30 bucks and a sidewinder esc/motor combo for around $90. I didn't pay to much attention to the specs on either because I wanted to get some recommendations first. Then I can add up the total cost and know what to expect to spend. When I know what I need and how much it will cost, I can work on the hard part of getting it here without you know who finding out. Thanks as always. I have the stock 1100 nimh and a dynamite 1500 nimh on its way. I could probably live with these power sources for now. I'm pretty happy with my b.l. rusty on nimh power. This mini project might be a good introduction to lipo, though. EDIT: Think I'm going to go for the Hobbywing system. 12t motor and esc that can handle 3s, 9 cell nimh. Any info on this would be handy.

Is this the mini or the micro? I have the Micro Desert Truck and I changed out the dog bones for CVDs. That seemed to be the only necessary upgrade to me at the time.

1/18. It has a center diff in the tranny, too. I figure I can keep it alive with the slipper clutch for a while.

I would say that there shouldn't be any mods really needed if the Micro DT is any indication.

Like the wise folks say on here, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". I'll upgrade as I break stuff.
