Finally got my MINI X
 

Well, I finally got my Mini X. I was soooooo impressed with this thing. Not to mention my New Mini Cooper model will fit on it perfect. I am going to run the ES-01 ESC, HiTec Shredder Receiver and I am going shopping for a Micro Servo tomorrow. I will post pictures when I get bodies done.

Cool! Careful you don't overload the ES-01, it can't take too much power.

If I am running stock motor and 4 AAA batteries, will the ES-01 handle it?

Yeah, you're fine with stock gear, just be careful how much you mod it.

Thanks for the advice. What kind of servo should I use? It looks to be a very small micro servo. Do you know a good one that doesn't cost more than $25 USD? Any help would be great!

I haven't tried this in the Mini-X, but I really like the Hitec HS-81MG for other tiny RCs such as the Micro and DTM SP.

How do I mount it? They give you a clear mount that I guess is suppose to replace the servo cover, but I can not find a servo that small anywhere. Help please!

You can use a Cirrus CS-20 servo and I think a few others from Cirrus will work.

Remove the front cover from the servo and replace it with the one your car came with.

Also be carfull with the ES-01 as the stock MiniX motor is not your standard 130 motor! Take it out and turn the shaft you will find what nitro guys call loots of thump! This is a 70 Turn motor with strong magnets. Buy the MiniX electronics package from Tiny RC and save yourself the trouble with the ES-01 and the servo.

But IRC they only sell it as the whole car and electronics. I just need a Servo! Besides....$118 for whole kit is kinda pricey. I can get for allot cheaper!

Try the cirrus servo I know it will fit. the 3 things I consider when purchasing a product like this is support, quality of product and price. No one can offer all three and I have found paying a little more has always been the best choice in the long run. Watch out for shipping and handeling charges from Hong kong as I have found the price is very comparable after paying theses fees and the waiting and woundering if and when the package will arrive.

PS. you can just purchase the servo for this car ready to install.

We can get you any part for the X from the RTR down to the motor capacitors, just email us and we'll hook you up!
