My complete hopped up T weights 18.5 oz, and that's with the 3S lipoly.. (that's heavy for a T, the stock is lighter)
@dabid, you can tune the brake power, just the way you like it. Get the USB programmer, i personally love it.
It's not hard to get pinions, most 1/18th cars use the pitch the mini-t does. i got titanium pinions, they are good to go. I lube them with a a dry lube..
Here is my mini-t, you really can enjoy a little car like that. Just don't take him offroad, but it's really nice for an onroad blast..
I had some issues with wind coming underneath the car, when it was running 1/2 wot, and punched the throttle for about .25 second and full wot, it was sliding on his back... it was the wind underneath the car that made him flip that easy. A wheeliebar didn't helped, so i used some very small steel wires to get it lower on the front.
