Default anybody a micro fan?

I just found this section of the forum. It has everything!!! i am a huge micro freak! I have fully custum micro T's (brushless 10,250 motor, CF chassis, all alloy etc..) They are a bast! I just broke them out 2 days ago and I forgot how fun they are.

I also have four xmods fully built (lithium, CF, stacked FETs hot motors etc.). ove those too. I don't know why, but I love those micros so much more than bigger RCs.

Anyone else got em?

I used to be heavily into 1/18ths, I had an Xray nitro with a .08 engine. It was a sick little thing.

Here's a pic next to my other nitros at the time (I no longer possess any of these cars. It's the micro dodge stratus in silver. The bigger Dodge stratus is 1/10th (an Xray NT1, in fact, all these cars are Xray nitros, except the 1/18th stadium truck wich is electric.

I never really got into the true micros though, bit too small. See my thread below for what I'm into thses last few years, the BIG ones.

Not sure what that is, but i'm sure they are cool!!
Do you have any pics of them?

Here are a few pics of my little guys...







Micro DT - 10250 brushless motor CF chassis, all alloy parts, 2.4ghz radio. 33mph on my tamiya speed checker. Love it! In the background are my xmods. All tricked out, all have lithium, alloy, hot motors. They are what got me started.





My custom Micro buggy, built 90% of left over parts from my micro DT build. Custom trimmed and painted body and body/wing mount. lithium batt, and BB motor. Wheely machine!!
I love these guys!!

Just thought I would share.

One last pic of my big toy...

Alright, another micro guy! I thought I was by myself. Done any mods to it? These things will fly with just a few mods!

I want a mini Desert truck next. I love those things!

Used to have an HPI Micro RS4. Also used to have a Losi Micro-T too. Sold the Micro RS4 pretty quickly. The Micro-T was a lot of fun though.
