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...

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.

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.

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!!!

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).
