sweet deal on my first mini

[money2blow]

this hobby shop is going outta business. trying to sell minit to johnny public and letting people drive one to try and help the sell. about 5 or 6 people watching this kid drive it aroound. brand new mini t just pulled outta the box. a fully charged team losi sport 7.2 volt nimh 1100 battery installed and this kid is ripping it up.then the kid drives the damn thing into the wall at full speed but only clips the right front tire. breaks the plastic c-hub. the kid had no parents with him. ( kid is just wondering around the mall where the hobby store is located )so obviously he quickly splits. ( thanx kid if your reading this ) i was watching this whole thing go down and ended up buying the minit and battery and charger. for 110$. :smoke:

really thanks kid i owe ya one!

They're pretty fun. I bought a mini-T second hand a while back.. I got bored with it real fast so it just sat there. Then I picked up a better battery for it and oh man.. what a difference. I went from a 6.0v to a 7.2. This little thing is a blast now. I upgraded all the electronics because I blew the stock ESC/Receiver unit with quick tumble in the water. hehe, oops. I just got off the phone with a guy at the LHS who fell into a little deal with Integy so I'm gettin some more hopups for a pretty decent price. After I install everything I have ordered my mini-t will be pretty trick as far as performance goes.

Sounds good man. It took me a long time, but I finally got into the mini's a while back. Don't be fooled by their size, 1/18ths are fast and fun as hell!

They are a blast once hopped up a bit. Brushless and li-po batterries will make it fly.

I just got a good deal through of the guys at my LHS. For some reason he got a discount off Integy stuff so he's passing the savings on to some regular customers.

I'm gettin:

Heatsink motor protector
Heatsink motor plate
Pro Ball differential
Universal driveshafts (gunmetal)
Bearing set
plastic pinion and spur set

all for only $71
