It's pretty much a Mini-T with some hop ups and different parts. Pretty good buy @ $130. I like the narrow front wheels and the FM radio.. oil shocks are a big plus too. I say go for it. check out mine

Mine is not a "Mini-Baja". The one you see there started as just a plain jane Mini-T that has had a host of hop-ups including the Baja Bug body. Essentially they are the same vehicle except the "Baja" version comes with some better stuff. As far as aluminum hop ups... there is so much aftermarket out there for the Mini-T you could build one from scratch. Mine used to be almost 100% aluminum but I decided to go back to stock parts to save weight. I only kept the aluminum parts I felt added to the structural integrity of the truck rather than just looks. I don't know anything about the motor though. I have a Team Orion Baja motor in mine (name is just a coincidence) with a 6-cell GP1100 pack. It moves pretty darn good, fun truck! As far as batteries I'd go with either GP1100 or IB1400. they are both quality cells.

Hey,

Do You Run It In The Snow?

 

[Lessen]

nope. I don't really dig running anything in the snow. I ran my T-Maxx in the snow once but to me it just seems to be more of a pain in the rear than it's worth... all the waterproofing and all. I can't imagine running a Mini-T in the snow.. first of all you'd have to waterproof everything (EVERYTHING). Then there's the thought of how it would actually run.?.? Such a small vehicle, I imagine it would just get stuck in anything more than 1/2 inch deep. I pretty much stay an r/c hermit during the snowy months. I have a few micros that I have fun with in the house, good enough for me.

I just noticed that it has seperate Rx/ESC. That's a big plus too.. waaay better than that crappy combo thing that the standard mini-t comes with. For $130 that's a nice little truck
