The first time

I got a Microsizer today, the pro type. It was a Honda S2000. I snapped on a 2.6 motor with the green KIT gears. It raced like fire when I hit the turbo button, yeah you heard me like fire. THEN....Hair got caught in the front left wheel. And I ended up destroying that wheel when I tried to get the hair out of it. DARN!!! But it was good while it lasted. I emailed the MS site asking for a spare wheel. They will probably charge me a lot. But I need a new wheel.

Well, I said that I needed a new one because the old one got broken........I remember where a guy got a defective MS that exploded, and he told the company, they gave him 5 free MS's and some other stuff......He lucked out!!!! So if they give you 5 free MS's for a defective 1 then they are so generous.....

Beat that, RS!

Maybe somthing was wrong with the charger and it charged it longer than it should of and then the battery blew up, or maybe he had a defective battery, because thats the only part on the car that could really 'explode', but it does sound suspicious.

Well, anyways, I think they will send me a new wheel. That's all I need, really. BTW I just finished doing the dual cell mod for my MS. It's my first time doing a SUCCESSFUL dual cell lol. I made a little discovery: The MS pro can charge dual cells!!! Go ahead and try for yourself!

Hey chuck, I got a pair of really really thin needle like forceps/splinter remover/roachclips (everybody has a different name) at the dollar store. They are great for removing hair and crap between the wheel hubs and stuff. You'll need it more with duall cells cause they will pickup more crap from the floor.

Congrats on your duall cell. Interesting about the charging. How did you wire the batts? If you wired the batts in parrallel, then any controller will charge it. How long are your run times?

To be honest I don't know....they will probably give you the microsizers wheel and gear tuning set......

When I used the KIT gears on my MS, the first speed never went to the top. But when I hit turbo, VROOM, VROOM, VROOOOOOOOOOOOOMM!! Wow it went fast! And especially with the dual cell......wow....

Yeah I wired it in series. But I took it out cuz of the extra weight. It did wheelies, and that was cool, but I think I'll stick to the layman's cells.

dont email them...i get a lot of free parts by just kalling them. tell them the wheel was loose and fell off. then theyll ask u if u want them to send u a new chassis. tell them ur address and let em mail it to u. it takes about 9 days but its free.
