I don't think I would buy a wheelie bar. I have only flipped mine over back wards once and that was on carpet. But I have the stock motor still ( have trinity micro monster on the way). The mini t is the first rc car I have owned other then the ones you get at wal-mart, but I think it is great.

one thing about the MINI T is you DONT need a wheelie bar. But im really glad i got the front bumper BRPRACING.com that thing is cheap and. as for being strong the mini t is MORE than strong you can give it anything it WILL take it. i would get it if i where you. just order a battery pack though the speed is way faster. look for the MINI T car and parts at stormerhobbies.com great service and prices the T is $149.99 and they got all the parts you need and want.

I have a venom 1100 battery pack for it. How should I break in the micro monster?? I don't want to ruin it before I even see what it can do. And what kind of gears can I look for to get a little more speed out of it without losing to much low end?? I hope to get my cam up and working soon so then I can post some pics of it. I painted the rims, and some of the body so it looks pretty sweet.

I also already have the bearing kit but what would be the next best hop up? tires or shocks?

I use mine on carpet 95% of the time and I'm investing in one. I also need the skid plate as I land on the motor a lot. It's pretty durrable, the only part I've broken was the f.Shock tower which I hastily replaced with aluminum. I'm considering a 300 big block for mine, so I may truly need it along with a stabilizer kit.
