buying a losi mini8

I like my Mini 8ight T! It handles like a dream but it definitely has it's problems. I decked it out with a lot of Exotek but the diff cup screws kept shearing so it's been shelved. I think they're M1.6 size. I wonder if there are some titanium screws I can use instead?

Would anyone know the size of these screws?

Getting into rc just as the whole pandemic job layoffs began?

 

[arrma_tigger]

good thread for a beginner like myself, will be following this for sure...lol

I am still new and learning....but I break more on my rig due to self... Overtighten too much to the point I order the same part because I put too much force on it.

At this point, I am my biggest mistake

I've been at this with 'hobby grade' stuff since the mid 90's and I'm still learning.

Driving threw what I though was a 2" deep puddle and finding out it was 2ft deep

Buying a Mini E-Revo with the Arrma Typhon 3s following at a close second.

Buying a HPI Bullet

This. Right. Here. Bought a Bullet MT Flux back in 2017 and it ran like a top....when it wasn't breaking parts if you looked at it wrong.

Not getting an RC sooner!

[Boggs3010]

Buying a 2wd Slash. It eats parts.

 

[Jerry-rigged]

My biggest mistake - trying too hard to save $50-$100 on a $300-$500 toy, and end up buying junk, thinking one or two mods will make it "just as good".

Close second - spending months and months and $$ and $$$ and $$$$ trying to get said junk car through one battery without breaking...

Worst offender - my 1/16 ACME/Turnigy 'Extreme' SCT.. Most expensive "budget" car I have ever owned... LOL.

 

[E-fanatic]

Buy all my traxxas trucks over the years. Definitely my biggest mistake. Pretty much gave them all away. Even fully upgraded they just don't hold up

 

[Harriot10]

Building a Granite from the chassis up! This was my second rig when I got back into the hobby. I definitely built an awesome Granite 4s. Cost me a ton of money. Would of been way cheaper to start with the RTR. Live and you learn!?

 

[Arrma Addict]

Over upgrading everything, thinking I needed to have all the bling, could easily have two or three more rigs for what I spent on unnecessary parts

 

[Arrmajunk]

Getting into RC in the first place ..!
never ending money pit.

 

[WestOz RC]

Buying a JLB Cheetah from Banggood.

 

[Hartiza-]

Buying a Granite 4x4 mega instead of a BLX version.

Edit: How to choose between the lower price and the higher price... Go with the higher price. I've spent about triple amount of money of a 4x4 mega to get the freakin bastard running smooth....


Still missing blx slipper ?

 

[rizaptor700]

Trying to get an ecx ruckus 4x4 to hold together on 3s and full send... should have just started with the arrma

 

[KevBar40]

buying a losi mini8

Oooo, I second this. I actually had the 8T. Never could run a full pack in it.

Everyone I know that has had one of those hated it, looked like it had major diff issues. If I remember correctly it is based off the Himoto E platform so it is no wonder it wasn't that great.
