MINI T Build.... MUST SEE!!! - R/C Tech Forums

So it all starts with a Team LOSI Mini T.... This is the 2WD Truck in the 1/18 scale. I received this model from a local trade from a guy on Craigslist. I had traded my Blade CX2 Helicopter for this RTR model with the original box. After looking at the truck at my house I noticed it had alum rear hubs and all the turnbuckles were upgraded. Figured I got a nice trade considering it had original box and all including some of these upgrades. I was driving the Truck for about 15 minutes when I noticed the battery was flopping around. After taking off the body it was the brace above the servo was broken so the top plate was not secure causing the battery to be able to move around. I needed to fix this Immediately so I went online and started doing research! I have had a few r/c cars but never did a lot of aluminum upgrades, so when I found this kit I was totally excited. My friend spent almost 2 thousand dollars to make his truck full Alloy.. when I saw that I could do this to mine for a fraction of the price I had to find a way.... So the BUILD starts.... But First I needed to PURCHASE a couple of items first. I went out and bought a complete Hinge Pin kit... I also had to buy 2 yes 2 PACKS of the small E Clips. Be careful these lil buggars are Super easy to get lost and fling into space never to be found again! After all was said and done and after I ripped a couple e clips from the stock kit I was left with 1 extra Eclip! lol.... just make sure to take your time and be careful. I had to take 2 days because I just had to stop after a while. Also I needed to pick up some BALL STUDS... this was because the hex heads strip out SUPER easy so I could not remove any from the original truck. Another Item I had to buy was the COMPLETE screw Kit... As many know already the screws in these kits are not the best, infact I believe they suck and have many times cursed the 1/18 screw gods.... I am used to working on 1/10 scale and use normal sized tools and not too used to these baby sized tools... lol... I figured if I am doing all these upgrades I might as well do EVERYTHING.... so i ordered the Integy CVD kit.... Next then on the list would have to be the ball diff. After runing the vehicle and breaking the brace I also noticed the truck was making a VERY loud noise like a baseball card in your bike spoke type noise. I looked at all the gears inside the case and all looked well but it gave me an excuse to upgrade to the LOSI BALL DIFF...
