I have been going through some of your older videos for the past few days. It was halfway through the race footage here when I looked up local stores and left to go buy 2 mini b pro rollers and a treat bag of stuff to put in them. Home now and ready to take these lessons beyond theoretical.

@@lawton70 The first servo was not a good fit but the Amazon replacement is. Got a servo saver in it, some dense foam zip tied to the shock towers and some shredded clay tires. Only had it out on parking lots and one trip to a skate park, for science. Got some cheap asphalt tires that fit with hex adapters and some washers on the outside. I put 30w oil front and rear and some losi black great grease in the diff. Each shock sounded different and my guess they were low was right. The diff got loud after the third battery but the grease did not cut that very much. Not sure on the mesh, could not get a good fit with the up down arrangement on the motor mount so used the 45 forward and it is tight, going to get a motor plate with the slide mounts. Currently suffering comical lift off oversteer that I plan on dialing out watching your series. But first am going to run a handful more batteries through it because it is tons of fun as is. I have lots of catching up to do, and don't know where you landed with yours, but thanks for putting these videos together, it has made a real difference for me.

An update. I have thoroughly beat my mini b up and am ready to get serious. It has been to the skate park, I have sat on my tailgate and burned about 40 batteries or more around a cone track in a small paved lot. I set up a (sweet) jump a few times. Pro roller with no mods but wrong tires and foam blocks on the shock towers. I cartwheeled it countless times, ate curbs, parked car tires and drains. Stuck very few landings and enjoyed the crap out of it. Only one of 4 original dog bones, zero right rear hubs, bent up a shock pretty bad plus more. But I have now got sway bars, C&D, bits and bobs ready to go in. There is a track an hour from here and I paid it a visit to find out the deal. Plan is to learn from your mini B series on track and get into the B7 that I bought while there so the agama n110 I have on order does not take as many hard hits. Never thought I would give racing a try but watching these and the mini b made it. So thanks again.

How did you add bleaaders to stock shocks??

@@ericjohnston7798 good catch! I used M2 screws about 4mm long. I drilled a hole aboit 2mm above the flange part of the fake shock cap. Works great! I can bleed the stock shocks in seconds.

@@lawton70 Beautiful. Thanks for the mod tip!! What motor and esc have you settled with? I am tossing around the tekin b1R and factory motor or going brushless. I would like a sensored esc and motor but doesnt seem like mush is around.

@@ericjohnston7798 for a sensored esc and motor the best i have seen is the combo from a brand called Furitek. They make a nice combo with built in bluetooth so you can program it with an app on your phone. It does run a little hot so put a little fan on it and it is perfect.

Yup! At our club we have a Mini-B open class where we use the Mini-b and allow the racers to run either brushed or brushless motors.
