One word: Videos! Let's see it in action!

Man, I can't wait! I hope it lives up to the hype.

Alright its day light. After falling asleep while reading the instruction and waiting for the battery to trickle charge its ready to go!

Some notes....

For remember those mini-t oil shocks and those seals? Well guess what? From looking at the instruction how to rebuild them they don't require those seals! Sweet! The best part for me (I think everyone will agree) is...... There's shock bleed holes!! Yup! And u use a screw to bleed them! Sweet!

Rc18t owners, this thing comes with a gear cover! Can anyone say dirt?

The shocks come with 25wt oil. Feels like a good choice (compression by hand), but have to run it to determine this.

Removal of diffs seem easy, because unlike the rc18t where removal of the upper deck is required, you can access the diffs separately. Looking at the instruction, didn't seem like a lot of work?

Remote feels alright, but won't know how it performs until later. Looks kind of like spektrum (toyish) but hey I won't complain about it for two reasons....1 its fm and 2 its synthesize. Sweet

I also love the sweet smell of a new rc! Lol

I'll try sticking both my mamba 8k in the mini-lst! Nah! Maybe just one of them, don't want to ruin the mambas! I'll make sure to make note of run times and temp!

Did I mention I love the smell of a new rc!

I'll post more pics later. Had a hard time uploading them last night! Is there a limit to posting pics?

If you do put a mamba in do you think its possible to just use one, wonder what the speed and power would be like?

An 8K Mamba would not be a very good choice for a truck this size. You need torque, so an AON 300 or something would probably work much better with less heat. When I pick mine up, I will install a single brushless, not mamba, and swap out the servos to one HS-81mg or something. 2 servos is overkill for something this size. Doesn't really need it. But it sounds like they are pretty good out of the box too, but upgrades are always a must!

In my opinion, the video needs some jumping action.
