They are many different kinds of mini's, so.....which one is right for you. Monster Trucks Mini monster trucks, small but pack a punch. These traverse the terrain far greater then any other class of mini's. Pros: -Big and Bad to the Bone (for their size ) -High ground clearence -Great all around vehicles -The most durable Cons: -High center of gravity -Dont corner as well compared to other mini's Examples: Team Losi Mini-LST Team Losi Mini-LST2 Hot Bodies Mini-Zilla Duratrax Mini Quake Duratrax Mini Quake SE Team Associated RC18MT CEN Mini Madness CEN MG-16 XRAY M18MT XRAY NT18MT Redcat Racing Tremor Tamiya TLT-1 Rock Buster Tamiya TLT-1 Max Climber PTI Goliath Micro MT PTI Goliath Rock Crawler Stadium Trucks Stadium Trucks, they can take the corners, they can take the speed, and they can go off-road! What more could you ask for! Mini stadium trucks are clearly the most popular mini. Pros: -Great handling -Are made to hit insane speeds -The best all around mini, period Cons: -Ground clearance Not as good of as mini monster trucks -Not as agile as buggy's Examples: Team Losi Mini-T Team Losi Mini-Baja Team Losi Micro-T Team Losi Micro-Baja Team Associated RC18T Team Associated FTRC18T Kyosho Mini Inferno ST Kyosho Mini Inferno ST Plus ARR Duratrax Vendetta ST ProPulse T100 XRAY M18T XRAY NT18T Tamiya Wild Boar Team VTX MST1 Trinity NEXT Schumacher Rascal Buggy's Buggy's, mean machines; buggy's are agile,they feature great handling, acceleration, and they can take the heat! The ultimate race vehicle.
