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.

wow 3000 posts


Work because i gotta, play because i wanna

People here hate Nitro, I love it. I start it, run it about 50 ft from me and it dies, I go after it. Perfect exercise

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.

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...

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!

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...
