Mascot happily upgraded (Losi Micro-T)

Team Vebra’s little mascot, our Losi 1/36 Micro-T received another little upgrade. You might remember a post some time ago, when the Mascot received a brushless motor and 2.4Ghz receiver. There are still many upgrades available, I must admit Losi is doing a very nice job in providing upgrades, even for such a small little car.

So, once again with a feeling, took the plunge and ordered:

LOSB1507_Threaded Losi Micro-T Front/Rear Threaded Axle Set
ab1605_Schock_set Losi Adj Threaded Shock Set
ab1575_tyres Losi Micro 22 On-Road Tire Set, Chrome

The threaded axle set I got it only because changing wheels is a bit of pain. Battling with their proprietary clip is really no fun at all. This way it’s much easier to replace the wheels when needed and you don’t risk having micro parts flying around.

The shock set got it because… Why not? Will it really make a difference? Only time will tell. In the mean time some proper on-road tires will make it look more “on-road” and less “buggy”.

Fitting them all was pretty straight forward. There is only a limited number of screws to remove.

The final result is…

And it’s really very nice checking your finished work… Till you realise that those dampers needed to be filled with oil, which didn’t come with the kit and you forgot to put. Back to square one… But that’s part of the game, isn’t it? ;)

What’s the next upgrade? Is there anything already planned? Yes! The motor will be replaced soon with a 10250Kv Xcelorin brushless. It is going to fly!

As always, thanks for reading this!
