RE: question
I was the person who started that thread and now own a Mini Giant. I use a wheelie bar, NiMH battery pack, and added ball bearings to just the front and rear differentials. It appears very fast. At least it looks fast for something its size. I think it would be even faster if I added ball bearings to the center diff. I didn't because that center diff would have been too hard to take out. I am also running the stock motor. The Fireball 370 will also increase its speed.

RE: question
it will run as fast as a mini-T with a 6 cell bat back and the losi upgrade motor with stock 12t gearing.
however the fireball 370 is also on back order, but fear not you can use any speed 370 motor with the same results (thats what i did).
i got mine here for 15.00 shipped.

also the losi alum rear shocks are a perfect fit on the mini-GIANT, the only problem is they dont sell them separately so youll have 2 spend 40-50.00 for the set.
