Losi Mini 8ight! It was between this or a 1/16th Revo VXL. But since I will primarily be using this at the closer indoor track by me I decided that it would suit me better.

I've been running my 1/8th scale truggy at the indoor track. They let me, and I'm cautious of my fellow RC peeps, I never pin it on the straight simply because the straight is about 40-50ft long, and the track is maybe 30ft wide. So its super small for a big truggy like mine.

I wanted something small for that track since i go to it so often. The Revo looks fun, and I love the 1/16th Revo titan I got for my nephew (he loves it too, Uncle is the best )

So far I can't believe just how bad the cogging is on a undercharged battery. I took the think out of the box and gave it a quick 2 minute test drive around the office at work. Crazy bad. I can see why people complain. It didn't look that bad in the videos. Perhaps it was just the not fully charged NIMH battery. I'll see how it is after the battery is fully charged. Need to pickup a EC2 male plug charge lead for my charger.


Now, I need to pickup a LiPo for it. Thinking 2S will do me for now. Anyone have a recommendation for a battery that fits right in the compartment? I'd do a 3S too. But its a small track, not that its stopped me before.

Not that it looks any different from stock. But here she is. Please ignore my Orange Chicken that is warming up using heat from the External HD. It makes a great food warmer.
