I personally think that would be NEXT to impossible, I did learn from a friend that someone did take a Mini T and make it run on a .12 nitro, but the tank, and engine were hangin out the sides [:'(], also, with an engine that big, it would be prety un stable and prob VERY hard to control[&o]

I have tried to put a .15 in a Trinity NEXT.. There is plenty of room, more than enough but I couldn't find the right gears. They were either to big (wouldn't fit in the truck) or the wrong pitch. Thats why I did not finish it (still a nice truck though)[]

If you are wanting a mini with a bigger engine, look at the Cen MG16.

Actual the NEXT is the same size... And it would handle a bigger engine just as good or better then a Rascal.

There are a lot of Minis that will do great with .12-.15 size engines. Of course the Mini-T isn't going to do good at all.. It's a lot smaller than others and is only 2wd..

But a .21 or .28 is a little much... I don't see them much in 1/10 either

good question, that is widely debated, RCU says it is a 1/12 scale, to me, from what i have seen, it looks more like a 1/16, just going off of old visual info, so, IDK, but a BB in one, sounds NUTS[X(]

The CTR .5 is 1/12... Bigger than any 1/16.. The only debate I see going on is- Is it a mini or is it to big to be classified that..


Really it should be posted in the mini section because the mini section is for smaller cars (under 1/10)...
