Pictures of some of my ABCs
 

this is why I quit the mini Z's.

abc with a pick-up body

abc w/ supra body

Nice!

This is my latest creation. I had to do some chassis adjustments to accomodate the C5 body. It drives like the real thing.

last one

Nice! What electronics do you have on that one?

The usual. I use a Tekin FM mini recevier, a 180 motor, an es01, and a micro servo.

one more rx3

Wait a second - from the background in those pics - I just realized that micromotori = NML! Welcome to the Forums bud!

Thanks, TRC. You got me man.

I love the site already.

I drove the RX3 yesterday, and man, it was a lot of fun. I've never ran the ABC with a model body that I actually painted. It's really cool.

To those who have not yet gotten an ABC DTM SP or X4, you guys are missing out!

micromotori, do you find that the model body weighs the DTM down at all? For those who don't have one yet:

Not at all! It is actually perfect. I don't even have to use the body post. Instead, I made my own body mounts using velcro, and it is awesome!! I highly, very highly recommend the ABC DTM's to anybody. whether it's the X4 or the SP. Get both! Seriously! Before it's too late.

And the 56 mph car has the profinish body, and that body is even heavier. It does the job when needed. Protects the car during 15 - 20 foot barrell rolls (Only happens once in a while)

I must say, that that RX-3 is one of the nicest bodies I have seen on the DTM, My next R/C car is definatly going to be a SP(I"m ANTI-AWD:D) Right now I'm really into my M-03 and mini-z, so maybe in about 6-8 months I may get one maybe buy then they will be reall popular,HAHAHA :D

That sounds good Porscheguy. I give the ABC DTM SP the Highest recommendation to all micro RC lovers. It's very smooth, fast, and is durable.

No Servo pots to tinker with, no esc frying (in most most cases), the car only needs ball bearings and a 180 sized motor to be race ready.

Welcome to the party buddy! look forward to some contibutions from the motor guru himself on how to make the DTM's blinding fast!

I like the truck by the way.

Hahahaha In MOST cases.

It's happened to me, because of my experimentations. I guess to achieve something, there should no limit. That is why I use ESC's with NOMOTORLIMIT:D I must add too, that the ABC's and other 1/24 th scale RCs don't require the use of Turbo. hehe

yep, thats Rod. :cool:

Hey, MicroRCEngineering Would you want to sell one?

* Will the orion esc (from the micro rs4) work well with this car? What size servo would I use? Hs 81size? Or smaller...thanks

Kevin,

Check out eBay right now. There's one up for auction with carbon fiber. Or contact TinyRC.com for a Brand New SP. At the moment, I'm not selling any of my ABC's, unless someone likes a particular custom model body to be fitted on an ABC chassis. Using car model bodies may pose a challenge in making it fit, but once it's done, it looks nice.

mrceng.

ok..thaks

What is that #6 car in the backgroung on page one? Fiat? I have 3 DTM X4 and what a awsome car.I just received an SP from Tiny RC and cant wait to assemble it. Any tips durring assembley?

The number 6 car is a Kyosho Autoscale, waiting to be devirginized.


Tips & Tricks with a hippy, hippy hips: Take your time, Make sure to use thread locks on the front suspension, or whenever you are screwing to a metal piece, like the rear motor mount. Get yourself a 180 right away. Don't even bother with the 130 motor. It's slow. Use airtronics ES-01 or Orion Flash ESC, Servo: Any micro servo will work, but can't be any bigger than an HS81. Body: It's best to do the holes before painting. Battery Cover: Drill holes while on top of chassis, just enough to mark it.

say no to drugs, and don't terrorize the house pets with these micro rc's. Word!!

What body is it? I just started assembly and this is a great car! I will be using the Mini X electronics and the 180 motor. Thanks for the tips.

The Mini X electronics is fine if you don't have enough room to open up the throttle. But you will need at least an airtronics es-01 if you plan to use the 180 motor.

IM running the X electronics in all my ABC cars with 180 motors and my RS4 with the stock motor (180) and have had great success.

So............................You can use the X cars electronics even in a micro rs4????? sure??? How long have you been running it with the X electronics?? do tell..

Kevin

IM running the 6 cell orion battery in the car and have only ran a few packs through it. IM using a Hi tech mini servo because no servo horns in the RS4 kit would fit the Mini X servo?

Picture of the Mini X RS set in the abc sp

Does the mini-x RS twitch at all

and maybe you should shrink rap the electronics or cover them up could be dangerous
lol an out of control 40mph car:eek:

You know... I put an HPI receiver from my Micro onto the used DTM that I have (already had an ESC, a Micro RS4 stock motor and a micro servo on it) and WOW! I couldn't fit the body over the top of it (it sucked anyway), but the car TOOK OFF across the garage floor -- on a STOCK micro motor!!! TOO KEWL! I really like the "possibilities" with this car. I'm pretty "retentive" about things, so I'll probably have to order a NEW ONE to be satisfied with things. Why I bought USED boggles my mind.

Thanks for the pics, input, and TEMPTATION, guys. My wife HATES all of you! LOL. My son LOVES it, though!

Shrink wrap is a good idea and I think the DBL sided tape would hold better on the shrink wrap. I find some sets can twitch but I have found that curling the servo wire will fix it? It was a suggestion from my local hobby shop. I had to use a servo wire extension on the SP because the Mini X servo has a very short wire,

The Thunderer,

I'm glad you saw the ABC's potential. With your set-up, it's pretty fast already. Just imagine multiplying that speed at least 3 to 4 times.

Try using the ES-01 to save space. Also, Shredder made by Hitec come in 27 mhz (It's what I use for my modded mini z, and stock ABC) If you have an M8, that receiver, fits perfect behind the servo, between the battery cover and the servo.

so with a stock micro motor.. and and orion 6 pack.. how fast are we looking for the abc to be running?

I can't give you an exact MPH, but if you want me to guess, I'd say about 25-30 mph. It is MUCH faster than a stock Z and WAY faster than a stock micro. What do you think NML? Would you say that a DTM on this kinda setup (w/out the body and laden down with non-micro electronics) would go about that fast? I wish I had a radar gun!!! LOL.

I guess the speed comes from a SMALL body and a motor that is just too big for that size... and I know that folks use more powerful motors than the stock Micro motor.

Anyway, this is all a guesstimate so that's what I have! :D
