Edit- Maybe Slash. But its definately a Traxxas product with the Titan motor and Traxxas high current plug. Now I'm thinking Slash.

I find this intriguing.

It's the slash with an aftermarket chassis.

rootar 10.17.2008 12:05 AM

not sure, but it looks like someone else is in the market of making those 17mm hub for these...... too bad the tracks dont allow anything but stock tires.

i personally dont like the chassis, jmo it lets too much crap get thrown up into the electronics.



whats that 1/10th 4wd buggy?

DRIFT_BUGGY 10.17.2008 12:06 AM

It's a Slash but does anyone know any info on the chassis?

Tempted 10.17.2008 12:06 AM

I do like the chassis, it looks like it has an adjustable battery bay. Would be nice to go from 6 cells to 7 cells, then switch to off sized LiPos.

Different, thats for sure. Guessing Serpent or someone like that

rootar 10.17.2008 12:15 AM

is it that tenth tech predator?


yes i knew it was slash stuff, i was saying i didnt know who was doing the parts.

crazyjr 10.17.2008 12:15 AM

The buggy is a Tenth Tech design, not sure if its a predator or not.

On the mini slayer and revo, I like the core racers, but am a MT guy at heart. So i'll be getting a mini revo, E-revo Brushless for racing and the Summit for pure snot beating bashing. And yes it will be brushless, Though i'm thinking my 2250/10t lehner and quark 125 w/5s+ lipo's will get the nod

On the mini revo, I see it as a VXL 3500 setup with parallel batteries, Though i got an XL 1200 lehner and a quark 80 that might get in there. :whip:

wow 3000 posts

I would love to smash into a mlst at 40mph with the brushless mini revo... Die mlst, die!!! I hate those things... Hopefully the diffs in the mini revo wil be decent...

The kv matches up pretty well, but it's definitely not a 7L.

Nope, it's some kind of custom-spec'd motor; rotor's somewhere between an S-can and L-can in size. But that's what I meant. The ESC was built by Traxxas, and the motor was specified by Traxxas for Feigao to make.:wink:

Oh yes, anyone that has sunk 600 bucks into a mlst will feel my pain. I am not fond of losi minis, the mini t is ok, but not that great. It is simple, which is the only saving grace for it. The mlst is crap and will easily break diffs bone stock.

I like the design of the lst, but it is too complex to be scaled down to the mlst size. Nice idea, but poor execution. I have had good success with a rc18t, and I am sure the xray mini is very nice too.

kraegar 10.17.2008 04:28 PM

My first RC (bought earlier this year) was a mlst2 (the baja one). I've replaced multiple steering servo's (finally put in some metal geared ones), front, rear & center diffs, multiple spurs, and various other bits and pieces. My sons have fun with it, but it has not proven to be the most solid of trucks, for sure.

My e-revo.... haven't broken anything... yet!

The mini brushless revo has my interest as a solid mlst2 replacement.

Sounds like my experience...

I do like the look of the mini revo, but find that trying to scale down a design sometimes causes problems. A small diff in a thin plastic case will have mesh issues, unless the diff and case are made of very high quality material, which is usually not the case...

I hope the mini revo is good, but I will wait untill the crazy bastards here get a chance to thrash some. Until one can do 60mph will a neu 1515 I will not be buying it...:lol:

The Losi Mini Rock Crawler is a step in the right direction. I've been beating mine to death and everything is still running great with no broken parts!:party:

That's good to hear - even with the troubles I had with the mlst2, I'm really looking at the Losi MRC. Almost bought one today on my nightly stop at the LHS, lol.

With the MLST2, now that I've upgraded it a lot, it is a solid little truck. Just took a lot of $$ to get it there.

Good to hear. I had a look at it and it did not look that great, but looks can be deceiving...

rootar 10.17.2008 07:39 PM

SO are the mini slayer and revo the new vehicles or what??????

hemiblas 10.17.2008 07:42 PM

They should have it up on their website soon. For sure its a 1/16th mini revo and another 1/16th truck.

E-Revonut 10.17.2008 09:43 PM

I have a losi mini late model. It's pretty much stock cause that is the only class to race them in. I went through 3 sets of diff gears before I bought a ball diff for it, the motors are JUNK, and I wish they used a captured shock instead of putting it on a ball mount. My RC18T that I sold was 10 times more reliable, until I stuck a 3s Lipo in it and messed up the diffs. I have also bought one of the 1/10 sliders in hopes of a class springing up for them for me to race in over the winter. Only reason I own a Losi is for racing cause it's a cheap and fun class to race in. Now it's time for me to go work on it and see if I can get it ready for tomorrow.

BlackedOutREVO 10.17.2008 09:57 PM

The buggy is a Team Extreme. They bought Ttech... IDK whats up with the tekin in it? Just showing it off

The mini revo is mini, as in 380 size motor, and 3A cells. So im guessing a NEU 11 series? LOL, with some hypersion lipos or something that you would run in a MLST. Haha

I cant wait to get my Mini revo. There saying 09, retail price is 250, and its BL from the box with the new mini VXL system. The slayer mini is brushed, retail of 180-200. I will post prices when HRP updates with the actual prices. So darnit traxxas! post the cars up!!!

BlackedOutREVO 10.17.2008 09:57 PM

Me too. I'd be cool if there was someway to fit the new mini slayer body on a crt.5 chassis. But I'm thinking it may be too small... :neutral:... or maybe on a vendetta buggy chassis perhaps...

As for the mini-e-revo, it looks cool, but i think I'll stick to my detta st. I don't have a single complaint with that truck (except for the ugly body).
