I finally picked up a used tekno mini truggy, I’ve been wanting one for a while. It came with a ton of spare parts.

Most excellent!
 
I made a big mistake and tried to cut corners when I bought the first set of Pots. It was a huge fail.
CTS Pots are the best so they are on the way.

I was told by a few different guys to not buy anything but CTS, back when I had my Mexican Strat.

CTS or Bourns, either one. Fender Pots aren't terrible either. Stupid me tried to save a little because of Christmas coming soon.
Big mistake, I won't do it again.
 
AE Club got me again... except I got the kit version (and a free shirt). I currently plan to use my un-painted Hoonitruck body on it, which I got cheap from Tower. Now I get to shop for electronics and wheels/tires!! :banana:

Another little something for while I'm bunkered in the garage this winter. I really dont like horizon but honestly this seems like the best option for small indoor. Thought about getting the micro, but really wanted something with a little tunability and not sure if these aging eyes can keep track of those micro screws lol

Battery reading 1.3v out of the box... I should've known 😅 LHS is swapping it out though

Did you get a older mini t with the dynamite motor and battery? If so, yea it can happen especially if it's been sitting on the shelf for a while. New Minis use spektrum electronics now.

Its the 2.0 with the spectrum 6000kv. A bit much power for this little thing in a garage 😅 i need like a 3000kv
 
Oh yes I have that motor in my mini b. Quite fast! I still manage to run it in my basement on shaggy carpet, even if the only free space I have is only 10x10ft or just about. Lol. Still on stock gearing too.
Mini T would probably be more manageable in tight areas bc it's shorter but the B performs better.

I'm pretty sure I still have a couple videos on my YT channel when I used to do the mini track. Pretty fun during the winter, especially last time I did it bc I couldn't get out to the track that often.

I put it on carpet and the damn thing did half a backflip 🤣 yeah I figure the T could turn a little tighter, also I like the taller ride height, I've got some of those plastic kids skate ramps that I can use for jumps, one will be to flat so imma want that extra travel. Might even look into a cheap lap timer
