I am drooling
 
STOP GETTING ME WANTING A MINI T!! my drake is a money hog in itself D: and I'm broke.. BAH!
 
How much is that chassis going for? It sure looks the part, but is it worth the money?
 
You gonna get it? That looks NICE!!
If you do, post pic's. Please. I would like to see it installed.
 
Yup I also noticed them to be one of the first to start using the silver carbon fiber. It is really picking up and a lot of companies are adopting it. Looks slick if you ask me.
 
I tried ordering this from www.3racing.com.hk last night. Thing is the send you and order Inquiry then you have to wait for an invoice. then when I get the invoice (haven't recieved it yet) Then I am supposed to paypal their account with ref to the invoice number. All this is a little much and I do not like the fact that I have not recieved an invoice yet and I placed the order inquiry yesterday.

Well I got the invoice from 3racing today. I ordered that silver carbon fiber chassis. I will do a review and take pictures of the build for everyone. Look for that thread in about a weeks time I would imagine at least since it has to come from Hong Kong.

Actually, I ordered some Initial D videos from Hong Kong. It took 3 days to get to my house. Probably helps since i'm on the west coast.

It'll probably come Saturday i'll bet...and at the latest, monday
 
Update, we I ordered this as I stated and communication was VERY good with 3Racing in Hong Kong. They answered all emails promptley and their english was very good. I was even given a tracking number that verified it went out yesterday by registered airmail. I should have it in 7-10 working days.

I totally agree, the silver looks sweet dude. If you would have said $100+ I would say no way but $70 seems like a fair price considering how insanely priced RC "hopups" can be.

That'll be sweet to c how that looks installed on your Mini. I'm just waiting for the Mamba Brushless to come out and I'm gonna build a mean mini from all hopup parts.
 
I will for sure post pics and let you know how it works out. Isn't it funny the thing aint been out 6 months and you can alreadly build an entire aftermarket Mini-T from screws to nuts!

NO chit man. It's got insane aftermarket already, it seems like just yesterday when everyone was wondering when they where coming out with the Alluminum shocks. If you think about it though, the market was REALLY ready for a product like the Mini-T for a plethora of reasons. Mini-T indoor racing is blowing up in the USA. I'm sure it's a big cash cow for Losi.

Team Orion says they're gettting 22mph top speed with their Baja motor and cellpack. The stock speed is around 11 so they've doubled it. I wonder what kind of top speed I could expect from the Mamba with a 6-cell pack and proper gearing?
 
with the the top of the line mamba racer conversion and a 18t pinion with a 2 cell Li-poly batt people are claming (very very reputable people claiming this) there they are seing 50mph with that little sucker. I probably see around 28-30 with a 14t pinion 50 tooth slipper, and 2 cell Li-poly with a modded Speed 300 motor (not brushless) I saw 20-22 with just the Orion Big Block and a a 5 cell 7.2 pack. If geared right the little bastard can reach high top speeds belive it or don't!

50MPH PHuck Me Freedy(the actor in Stephen Kings DreamCatcher.lol). I can't really imagine a Mini-T going that fast. So how do I get a "top of the line Mamba racer conversion" dude? That would freaking rock if I had a Mini-T that toped out faster then my Maxx's..lol.
 
If you want 50mph then you want the Compitiion X motor with the Mamba 25. Some are shipping but that model is said to ship next week http://www.castlerc.com all I got to say is if you get it please post a video of it disappearing like Back 2 the Future with the flamin tire tracks and all!
