RE: DONE WITH NITRO
I run both nitro and electric and I like them both for different reasons ...... The nitro is cool because of the noise , smoke , 2 speed tranny's , and the tuning aspect . It can be a pain BUT its part of what makes it fun IMO . The electrics are fun because of the brutal instant power that the newer 1/8th systems are putting out (you could NEVER get the same power from a nitro engine) and the fact that there is no tuning and the car will run the same way no matter what the outside temp/humidity is . You are gonna break parts no matter what you are running that is something you have to expect and embrace . If you wanted a hobby where you didnt have to do anything then I would suggest stamp collecting [:D] 99% of the time if people are killing the driveline in their R/C's then they have something adjusted or built wrong .

RE: OFFICIAL Team Losi Micro-T thread !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well , my son finally decided to go brushless with his micro and we have set up a track in my living room to run on , we are using pool noodles that are cut in half for the lane markers and cloth covered foam for the jumps . We have a couple of SC bodies coming for them and I will post pics when we are done ...

RE: Wow, this section is DEAD...
And that is the advantage of the newer generation of electrics , I had a blast running in the snow/rain when I first got my E REVO . Now that water resistant brushless systems are being released it will only get better . Add the fact that 1/8 B/L system prices are dropping fast (same with batteries) , and fuel/glow plug prices have been rising , I could see nitro taking a backseat too electric but I dont see it dying altogether . MT's will always be here too , they are the true all terrain vehicles of the R/C world ....

RE: E-Revo vs. Vendetta ST vs. RC18T
Is the Mini E REVO stock ? A tire change and better different springs/oil really change the Mini E REVO's track manners . I assume the Vendetta is highly modded ?

RE: OFFICIAL MINI E-REVO THREAD!!!
I am running black springs rear with 70wt oil , and tan springs front with 50wt oil and the alloy shock bodies with the TiNi shafts and I am pretty happy with this set up in general . I dont do much street running with it but on the track it awesome . Hopefully Traxxas puts out a set of sway bars soon .

RE: Looking to buy a mini.
I would look into getting a Mini E REVO VXL , outta the box it will do everything you want for 280-300 , which is a bargain for what you get compared too the RC18T or the Vendetta ST and you will end up spending a lot more getting either of them as good as the Mini E REVO is . As for traction rolling , thats all how you have the car set up . A tire change along with different springs and oil will remedy that .

RE: ezrun brushless
I have the 60a 5.5T combo in my Mini Hyper STe and its running awesome ! Temps are good and power is abundant [:D] I am also running an 80a ESC with an HPI Tork 2200 motor (Castle/NEU) in my sons E REVO greared for 42 mph and its just as good as the MMM combo that I have in my E REVO . The Hobbywing ESC is just as smooth and powerful as the Mamba Monster ESC . I am thinking about turning my Muggy brushless with one of the 150a ESC combos .

RE: Is there any contest
Put a few hop up parts on an E REVO and it will be plenty durable , as much as a 1/8 truggy IMO . I have done some crazy stuff with mine and not bent/broken much at all . And if you land certain ways most R/C's are gonna break when you are getting big air and running fast speeds .

RE: Revo VXL, RC18T, or Mini T
Yes the Mini REVO is worth the extra money over the others , they will get boring quickly and you will spend more than that upgrading either and then they still wont be as good as the Mini E REVO is right outta the box .
