What an exciting moment for us at TeamVebra !!! Our Transponders arrived within 3 business days (bought directly off MyLaps.com) and we were quick to fit them in two of our cars.

Midweek, (yes… actually during “school nights”) we tested both transponders fitted on:

• M03l – BL 10T
• T3R – BL 3.5T

The lap times are posted here-under:

  <– 10 Laps with the M03l  (Astoria)

 <– 10 Laps with the T3R (Astoria)

Needless to say that these are the best laps to date

There’s talks of adding a new section to this blog that would be dedicated solely to laptimes and car specs… Let’s see what happens. What is certain is that these little MyLaps RC4 Transponders are fantastic! Precision within 0.001 of a second and the ability to race independently (during school nights) if we’re really needing an RC fix.

Thanks for watching and stay tuned for new LapTimes!

A video of it running “boldly” on the LMCC track (yeah, we were alone) is bound to come pretty soon but still being edited at “Team Vebra Lab”.

In the meantime, here’s a video of the same car but when it was still “stock”. You’ll appreciate the difference when the “after upgrade” video will be published.

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

Once again, thanks for reading / watching!

This applies as well to, what could be considered, Team Vebra’s “Mascot”!

“Mascot” is how I like to call the smallest RC Car in Team Vebra’s Garage. We got the 4WD TL01, the two “minis” M03, all of them are 1/10… And then we’ve got the Losi Micro-T who happens to be 1/36! Hence the right to be the “Mascot” of the team.

Ain’t it cute? Check this one out to have an idea of the size.

It’s a funny little car which, for the time being, raced mostly indoors with the result of driving our furry “Supervising Engineer” (our cat Litxia) totally crazy!

But it’s time for upgrades for our Mascot too and the order that was placed with our fav “RC Part dealer” (a bit like an online “drug” dealer for us) is now travelling from the UK to Luxembourg. It’s only a matter of a couple of days before our tiny Losi will receive the following upgrades:

	Losi Micro 22 On-Road Tire Set, Chrome, Mounted
	Losi Micro 2.4GHz Brushless Combo with 8750kv Motor
	Losi Micro Li-Po Battery Pack

The tires are made for “On Road” tracks. The car came with more of a “Rock crawling” type of tire setup. As we want to try it on a proper “On Road” track, these tires should do the job.

The stock car comes with a tiny brushed motor. I took the plunge and despite Astoria’s sensible advice not to invest too much money on such a small car, I couldn’t help but order the 2.4GHZ and Brushless conversion kit. This will bring our little Mascot to a totally new dimension! It’ll surely be even more fun to drive once the Brushless is fitted. Why 2.4GHZ? Simply because I think it’s much better and you never have to worry when you’re on track that somebody else might be using the same “crystal” you are. This is a little freedom that I consider priceless.

Finally, I couldn’t leave the car with a NiMh battery after having a new Brushless motor and 2.4GHZ Receiver so, I ordered the small Losi Lipo as well.

That’s all for now… Stay tuned for the next posts, you might see how the kit is fitted!

And as always, thanks for reading us!
