RE: Is the mini t worth the price!!!!
Hey drzing,
the mini-t is definitely worth the time and money. i bought mine used but have since added oil-filled shocks, ti turnbuckles, teflon bearings and new body. i like the small size and its versatility. i can run indoors and out without thinking about space or noise. this baby can also take a beating with jumps and bumps. i was surprised how durable the mini-t is. it's also fast and powerful. i've ran mine on grass/lawn, dirt and gravel.
if you break parts, it's easy to replace and tweak. for me, that's the fun part
it could get expensive with the upgrades and parts. example: ti turnbuckle set = $25 USD. but it's a hobby so expect to spend some money.

i think gixman said it all its amazing and worth every penny there are 6 of us me and my mates (19 yr old boys) and i own a mini-t and lets just say its entertained us for hrs and i have only had it about 3/4 weeks
all i can add is for about £30 you can triple the speed of this truck with just a new motor bearing and batt pack and it will make you smile bash after bash after bash
if your considering getting one all i can say is listen to the people from nike "just do it"

lol, nice one taffy
drzing, if you're hesitant on spending the big bux, then partol ebay or rcuniverse (where i got mine),
you can get an almost new mini-t with the essential upgrades,
for mostly under the price of just the new truck itself,

actually i love my mini t parts are dirt cheap for it, considering I also have a 1/10 stadium truck so 5 bucks for 2 shock towers front and back is a deal. even the hop ups are cheap, 15 bucks for a ball differential, wow, my differential gear alone was 15 bucks on my 1/10 truck.

nitrobashinauz - you said it.
Look around on some places for a used one. Most come with the essential upgrades ( shocks. etc.) and are usually cheaper then buying a new one.
