RE: HPI Mini Recon
Here is another video with the 3100kV Brushless Motor, but this time on Highest Motor Timing \last time was "Lowest"\. This was my first time driving on "full power" so I had some incidents: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDgu6StLVhM[/youtube] The good news is that in the end of the day, I only managed to crack one of the rims, but noting to serious. :D Also one of the caps on one of the shock absorbers open so the oil spilled, but I have refiled it, at it is ok now. :) I am also working on my visual mode, so hopefully soon I will show you the result. :) @mercerbeef - cool, 10x for the link.

RE: HPI Mini Recon
 Hi guys,  I am really new in the RC world but I was looking for a proper topic for the HPI Mini Recon and this brought me here. :) Soo first my important question - I want to try putting tires from bigger RC on the MR, but I am not really familiar with the other cars on the market, so ca you recommend my anything bigger that you think will be able to fit the recon without to much modifications and effort? And if any of you is interested here is what we \me and a friend of mine\ have done with the Mini Recon so far... The original ESC was changed by Turnigy TrackStar 18A 1/18th Scale Brushless Car ESC + small 3100kV Brushless Motor and a 1800 mAh LiPo \fits perfectly on the place on the original one\. We also did some modifications on the isolation for the "vulnerable" parts so the car can run on snow. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2D9f1i1isY[/youtube] BTW this \in the video\ is not the full potential of the motor, because at the time of the "video shoot" I have forgot the Turnigy TrackStar ESC Programing Car and the motor was running on lowest frequency. Anyway the recon is a lot of fun for driving on snow/ice.   So now I have some cool ideas for visual modifications, but we will see how the things will go :P

RE: HPI Mini Recon
@SyCo_VeNoM - 10x. I saw that but was looking for rims that will fit without adapter \not sure if possible at all\ :D But if I don't find any I will just test the 12mm kit :)
