    www.one18thscale.com carries the graunper speed 300 for 15 plus shipping.

    They are very hard to find it seems.


    if you want a non-tuned 300 hit up a airplane based hobby store. 300s locall go for$10-13 each.

    here go $11.49

    rccarman.......didn't you also say you were a Team Losi rep in an earlier post on another thread?

    Prove it by telling all of us how many classes Team Losi won out of the Midwest Winter Off-Road Championships that just took place this past weekend (Jan 9-11). If you're a Losi rep, you should know this.....

    If anyone was truely a Losi rep, they probably wouldn't be purchasing a Losi Mini-T off of Ebay.


    I've had somebody try and steal my pics too I caught him on 3 different websites trying to sell MY car! lol totally got him banned. No more good lookin high quality pics for me!

    now to be ontopic, I think I'm pickin a mini T up today for a trade, tell ya'll how it goes

    Status: offline     		do it do it do it heh, i love mine, considering its 14 degrees here in pittsburgh as of late The mini t is perfect. i get to pimp out this little thing and continue rc'ing thru the winter. not just tearing apart the rs4 3 and B4 and cleaning them a few dozen times.

    Status: offline     		Word of advice fellas.......if you're real heavy into running into things head-on, I'd recommend an aluminum chassis when they come out. (If they come out) Seems as though the Mini-T chassis wasn't designed to take a full throttle hit to the nose. Total fluke on my part, but I wasted a chassis when we were testing one. It snapped in the groove on the underside where it's only connected at the sides. Not my most proud moment but we now know how much they can and can't take.

    That's one reason I don't mind taking photos of my R/C cars with my cats in the pictures--it would be a little more difficult to claim they own my R/C's unless they started claiming they own my cats as well and "fraudulently" used more of my photos. Besides my cats like to play with some of them anyway.

    Good statement. I haven't done bad lately: A c-clip for the mbX5, a bolt for the F201, a light kit for the Mini-T, and a aluminum motor heat sink for the Mini-Z-Enzo. Of course, the weekend is about to start and I plan to order a Mini-Z track in about a month.

    Casey This little thing is a Nasty Pit! Go out and get yourself some bearings for it they make a hell of a difference. Cant wait for my Tax return check now it will be time for new electronics.

    Status: offline     		Good point brainleak. It also could have been that it hit the short side of a cubicle wall, where the tires didn't hit anything....it just nosed right in. But in looking at the travel of the tires when I press it up against the wall the tires don't look like they'd absorb much shock.

    Anyway......I heard shocks are due in before the end of the month.
