THANK YOU FOR THIS!!! OMG I just looked at the manual after having my Mini T for months and wanted to confirm this was the procedure - thanks for posting this to demonstrate how it should be done!
Thank you brother. I just recently purchased a mini B from a swap meet. Still learning how to tweak everything on it, it’s for my 9 y/o boy. Now I can adjust steering and speed because he’s overwhelmed with the speed when we got it. Appreciate the information.
In case anyone saw my post below from 03-04-2023 I have found that when changing the end-points you lose the braking strength. If you refer to the ESC setup guide where you calibrate and set parameters you can get 100% braking - but when you change the end-points that braking always defaults to 25% - and for a brushless that's no bueno. Although I love being able to throttle down for indoor small areas, I cannot have NO braking!! Thanks again for posting your video - very helpful!
bought one of these used on ebay with supposedly busted ESC. when i got it i figured out it was perfectly fine but the throttle duel rate was turned all the way down. This video needs to be seen by more people.
Thanks for the video , I literally emailed Losi telling them how my steering is messed up and they sent me a new servo. I installed it an same issue but watching this video I figured it out an now have an extra servo lol. Thanks again this has been really helpful, God Bless
Definitely learned something new. Mine has the brushless installed and waiting for the receiver in the mail. I'll have to make sure it's set right....awesome info!
GAME CHANGER! when i got mine i busted it out of the box and tossed in on ground and......DISSAPOINTMENT! it was SLOW. this little hack made a HUGE difference! Thankyou for sharing!
Love it. This is literally what I was searching for. Thank you so much for the info. Even though I probably could have checked the manual as well. Lol. But who needs instructions right.....I DO apparently. Hehe
Thank you:) My little one has already taken out both the left and right lower A arms driving full throttle into frozen snow (two different runs). Toned down his throttle and his steering trim and he is a completely different driver:) Mike and mike out of Denver

Been thinking about getting a new mini B or mini T. So after watching this about the 'HIDDEN'...dual rates, I want one more than ever. Throttle range can be dialed down until you feel confident running your new rc car, then max it out when it's time to scare the neighbors. 😁
Dude this helped so much. For some reason my transmitter must have dropped to low steering rates. Couldnt figure out why my buggy stopped turning all together
Thanks for this - really works well for both steering and throttle control - HOWEVER I lost braking after lowering the throttle limits - any suggestions?????
Thanks buddy, I just bought the mini t2 brushless which is very similar but couldn’t figure out how to reduce speed (my club has a restriction on speed for the indoor race they hold)
Brother, I just got a brushless setup for ours after building mini mod motors and being un-impressed... tempted to put the stock back with the mini mod motors and see!
Just tried this on mine/my son's mini B's...ours shipped from the factory with the throttle duel rate at about 90/95%...so ours only gained about .5 mph.
Not sure what setting it comes with but this feature is pretty awesome. Makes it driveable in the house. No need for the brushed version, really. Turn it down for inside and up for outside. This thing is awesome!

@@MightyistheRCGamer Thank you so much! I was on the edge of buying one but thought 13 was a little slow. But now that I know it can push 20 im buying one. This will also work in the mini t right?
To be honest I just ripped it out right after this video because I was very excited to put the brushless combo in. But I would say in videos I seen on UA-cam it was 14 mph then after 19 mph brushed/stock
When I’m driving my Mini T 2.0 outside, after 5 or so minutes it’ll start pulling hard left or right. I’ll adjust my steering trim and after another 5 minutes it’ll do the same thing. What’s the problem?

I get around a hundred of these a day of guys messing with it and then ruining everything in the settings and telling me that things don't work you really need to read your manual
Can anyone help me ? My controls are reverse trying this out. When I try to go forward my car goes backwards and when I steer left my car steers right . 🤷
This is a easy fix.... press but throttle trim until the car starts to go forward after it starts to go forward then press backwards a couple of times to get it to stay with us in the center
The throttle trim press the plus button until the car starts to go forward then press the minus button to get the car to stop going forward and then you will have forward and reverse
You didn't do anything wrong this happened to me too and that is because when I was trying to adjust the steering or the throttle I was not hitting full throttle or full steering I was only using half a throttle and half steering trying to to trim to get max speed
@@dawsonbrucks3001 No just straight out the box like yours.... But when I checked the throttle trim it did give me a little more power and just a little more speed... You did do it correctly?
@@dawsonbrucks3001 Then your maxed out bro... The problem is the high turn motor... You need a 370 not a 380 the 370 will fit perfect because it is the same size as the 280 but with more power and you will only need to unsolder the wires and your good

They sell this radio with a receiver for 30$ you can't beat it
Great tip.
Kind of a 'cheezy' transmitter. Can you bind a DX5 Rugged to the HRZ00002 reciever/esc?
You could but you will need a new ESC and receiver because the one that is stock is a 2 in 1 receiver and ESC
Thanks for supporting us non readers 😂
My steering is opposite and I don’t know how to fix left is right and right is left
You must of reversed your settings and that is way this is happening... But don't worry there is information in your manual how to fix this problem...

Is this the same for the mini t.
YES
This should work on the mini t 2.0 brushless no? Same transmiter
YES

@@samuelpedroza9645 the only person that is awesome is you because you looked and you found the video

No it will not help save battery
I just got my mini b and I have no reverse for some reason?? It’s like it’s in race mode, it has brakes but no reverse. I feel like I’ve done something wrong when adjusting the trim
Yes your throttle trim is incorrect
Did you fix it because it's a very easy fix all you have to do is mess with the throttle until the car goes in reverse
Just get the throttle trim and keep pressing it until the car goes in reverse
The RC Gamer I’ll try that. Do I need the trigger pulled when pressing the throttle trim?
No just press the throttle trim button until it goes into reverse do not pull on the throttle
