I've a Losi Micro Raminator.
I've bought a Losi brushless Xcelorin system - speed controller and 10250 motor - then find it's NOT a straight swap.
(I've also bought a LiPo battery and charger.)

Once I opened the packaging, I read the instructions, stating as follows :
You have to ALSO buy another SERVO, SERVO SAVER and RECEIVER !!

The receiver recommended is a Spektrum micro unit (standard is speed controller / receiver as 1 unit).
I also notice there's NO mention to the transmitter, BUT the standard transmitter is a normal 27MHz, whereas the recommended Spektrum receiver is a scanning 2.4GHz.
DOES THIS MEAN I ALSO NEED TO PURCHASE A TRANSMITTER ?

The idea of a 'fast mouse' becoming totally 'feral' is extremely appealing - fitting the brushless system with LiPo - as I've also an E-Maxx with Venom LiPo + Novak HV Maxx 4.5 (that's WILD !!).

Has anyone any experience in this mega micro dilemma ?
I notice there's a 'new micro 27MHz receiver coming out by Losi - is this the 'fix' ?

I found the micro section and posted there.
Thought it a bit strange to post a micro thread in a monster column !!

I would appreciate any constructive advice, and thanks in anticipation.

well, the servo shouldn't be too expensive, but as for reciever i would install the motor and ESC and then measure to see how much extra room is on the chassis for the receiver and then put one in that fits the requirements... however, isn't the stock radio for all of the losi micros 2.4ghz?? if i'm correct, you should be able to just buy that receiver and it will for with your existing transmitter

Thanks anyway.
Raminator's 27MHz.
HopMeUp is one of the suppliers I use and they came back to me stating it's on the internet how to convert, but use the Sportwerks SWK4001.
The ESC's minute, so I've ordered said SWK4001 and will go from there . . !!
It's a receiver WITHOUT crystal, so I can use the existing ones from the Raminator as supplied.

This is too long-winded Losi, wake up please.
