RE: official mini mauler thread
yeah, i figured it would be better to start a new one than to revive the one from months ago. I wish that we could get more people to understand how much fun these little trucks are. I remember when they first came out, i thought they were cool but a bunch of people on the forums werew saying that they looked like something from radio shack and we know thats totally untrue.

I think they are loads of fun. But I wish they had all of the aluminum that the mzm has. mines in peices right now, needs a servo and some other parts. It was a lot of fun when I had it. I wish it worked so I could drive it on my track right after it rained and get it all muddy.[>:]

i dont want to start a fuss but how in the world can you possible say that the mini mauler looks like a radio shack truck!?!? Do radio shack trucks have lexan bodies, upgrade/replacement parts, I DON"T THINK SO. And there has never been and never will be a radio shack truck as fast, durable, or fun as the mini mauler.

HI ! I just ordered one of these cuties for my 8 yrs old daughter. I was more willing to go for the mini-lxt from losi ( higher priced indeed but so cool and reminiscent of my old JR-X2 from yrs ago...) Are these trucks durable? I saw the video on rc universe and hobby zone and they seem to be. I ordered the bearings and pinion set so i could change gear ratios...You think its worth it ?
Tank you ( By the way i got 2 rc planes from hobby zone and park zone and im satisfied )

yeah these trucks are really durable for their size. They aint gonna stand the abuse you can throw at a 1/10 scale monster truck or anything but they will handle alot. Me and my dad have 2 of these little trucks and when we run them they constantly plow into each other and the only parts that have broke were the steering servos.

Hi rc flyer428 ! Thank you for your answer. I was wonderong if the different colors of the trucks mean they are on different frequencies ? maybe if it is so fun i would buy one for myself and race with my doughter. Since I live in Canada and it is winter here, i was thinking of building and outside ice track so we could have some (cold) fun !!!
By the way, since your name is erc flyer, i assume you got rc planes. What are they ? My daughter has a hobby zone freedom, and i have a park zone f-27 stryker, a century hawk .30 glow heli ( new, will try it sometimes this spring), a great plane spectra electric sailplane, and a couple of glow airplanes. Wow, sounds a lot when you list them that way !!
