Thought you bought two Mini's? Keep one and sell the other for full price on the bay.
I ordered mine Monday night and it already shipped. I emailed the guy to make sure though.

I did buy 2....I'm gonna part one out, see how it does. 1 Red, 1 Black. Not sure on the color I will keep. Even at 205$ it's still pricy for a 1/18th I think....I'm sure the price point is higher as it shares little parts with other losi vehicles they already had.
I was gonna keep a Mini LST2 I had sitting here, but not too practical for inside the house, as it is pretty fast. I was thinking I could gear it way down to make it into a crawler of sorts, but it really does not have the suspension.
However it is 65$ cheaper than the mini crawler......and they make 9T pinions to swap out with the 20x size it has on it now.....

Just had to piss it off didn't you?! Those Losi's are territorial as well, lol.

I was looking at the Duratrax 1/14th Cliff Climber as well, and also found the 1.9 rules.....and it really can't run in a 1.9 class, due to the dual steering, dual motors.....so why bother? Unless it was 'just for a fun' truck?
I don't plan on competing, but I don't think I would get something that was not able to in the future either.....as who knows what I might do....

Got my crawlers today....can't get over how cool they are.....even for 1/18th scale.
I'm dying to know if they can make it up stairs...

The Mini Crawlers came with a nice backround in the box.....I decided to put it to use for my Leopard Gecko cage...
He did not want to come out of the cave, so a previous photo....

So when are you breaking the news to the wife that she's gotta downsize her wardrobe because you need more space for R/C's?

Have you asked the wife yet to make sure it's YOUR room and not hers?

That looks like a room that a man was allowed to put some stuff ... temporarily ... until she needs a craft room.
