Had to get a new truck.....
The weather has been mild and sloppy out for the past few weeks and I haven't been outside with my nitro's. I was in here and read someone talking about a mini for inside and thought it was a good idea. I got a [link=http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXTYZ3&P=7]CEN me16 mt[/link] 1/16 monster truck. It has about the same motor that my sons 1/10 truck had. The cen has a 540 and my sons had a 550. So compareing it to that and the fact that it's about 3-4" shorter and lighter... I think i'll have some fun with this thing when it gets here. I only wish there were more bodies around for it...[:@]
Oh something I was wondering about the radio.....
Radio: Cen Skyion DSX 27MHz AM radio system with one standard size
servo, ten model memory, sealed receiver and battery box,
transmitter has charge jack
Does that mean that I can program it to use with my XL and my rustler as well and only use one radio instead of three? If so that'll be awesome. Oh and I had a coupon to use at tower hobbies so I saved $15 on it and have a bunch of batteries already So shipped and in my hands it was about $180 CAN. I can deal with that

RE: Had to get a new truck.....
I have one of those radios and it has been flawless. I let the wind blow it off my tailgate, the antenna broke... great! I called CEN and they sent me three antennas for under ten dollars shipped. They were friendly and their service was fast. I was really impressed.I have used it on several trucks and really like the trim adjustment tabs. Glen

RE: Had to get a new truck.....
Anyone else with a mini finding many bodies to fit..... My body on this is 10.7" and there aren't to many to fit. The trinity next/now body and a couple crawler bodies may work, but there's not much around for these little guys. I haven't even found a clear stock replacement..
