Today has been a good day for our little Mascot, the Losi 1/36 Micro-T.

Package containing the Brushless and 2.4GHZ conversion kit arrived on Friday, just in time for some Weekend RC upgrades.

Middle of the afternoon, lunch is over, sun is still shining strong, the dining table turns into Team Vebra’s “MicroGarage”.

Here’s the box containing the conversion kit. Being a “micro” car, the kit is also “micro”

Once the box is opened, I carefully extract all the components from what I’d consider some professional and enthusiast “bubble wrapping”.

Now please check the new motor. 8750Kv, Brushless. On a 1/36. This thing gonna fly! Maybe even too much.

Follows

the ESC and 2.4GHZ Receiver Combo and other parts which are not needed for this setup (this kit is also working on 1/24, that one though requires new parts).

We couldn’t consider the conversion totally complete without replacing the nickel battery. Therefore ordered the Lipo too.

This is a really tiny car with tiny screws. Before doing anything I wanted to be sure I knew what I was doing. The kit comes with a huge folded doc…

Nevertheless, Youtube is your friend and this video here is perfect to know how to proceed.

The video cannot be shown at the moment. Please try again later.

The Losi à la façon Brushless dans sa sauce Lipo starts by opening the Losi shell.

Do disconnect any cable you may see. You’ll be taking away pretty much all of them.

Goal is to replace the ESC/Receiver component, motor and battery.

I must admit it was pretty much straight forward. Managed to do it without anything exploding.

Once everything is replaced, you put back the original cover (the one you removed at the beginning) as the new one (the one in the kit) is for 1/24 models and not 1/36.

Once your Losi looks like this

It means dinner is nearly ready to be served.

You add a pinch of Lipo

And let it cook gently



Uhm… Mais c’est divin!

Videos of the official test at LMCC will be online shortly!
