just picked up this Losi, Micro T Baja bug. its a very small car, scale 1/36 ONLY 4 INCHES LONG! but its crazy fast!!! probably the most fun i had ever had with an RC car. would make a great gift, retail price is 80$ and car comes ready to run with controller, and batteries.    ...But, this wont stay stock for long, what i will do is dis-assemble the entire car, upgrade the chassis with carbon fiber and light weight aluminum parts, upgrade the battery to a light weight lithium ion battery, adjustable coil-over springs, and alot of other things too.

Brushless combo looks to need a new servo/receiver because the stock package is integrated... bad new Chris, more work than you thought... technically drop in, just with some more work from what I'm seeing, keep me posted and I may be up for buying it off ya if you don't feel like reworking some electronics... hehe
I'll get pics of mine up and some work i've done on it and some aluminum goodies. WE NEED TO RACE!!!!

yeah, you'll need a micro servo, new receiver, and if its a losi receiver you can use the same remote, then i think you'd be set, its a good challenge and may cost a bit more, but TOTALLY worth it... I got my micro deans in today so i'm gonna solder those on, I also have like 44 bucks in paypal that I decided will go toward the micro-t, any ideas? I'm thinking really hard about the Lipo or brushless conversion... I'll get some pix after I install the micro deans!

I just ordered a Gunmetal Beetle Body for mine, probably gonna need extended body mounts or something but I bought that and the Losi Micro-Desert Truck wheels that looks SICK! and I also ordered the BB motor.
And now I just ordered the body mounts...
