Status: offline 		Im gonna pimp the mini-t. Except not go all alloy, id rather break plastic parts than bend aluminum. I will be placing the order for new tires, rims a battery, servo all the necessary parts to repair it and a few bits of shiny here and there. It would be better than just throwing it away and all the mini-t users ive read about are perfectly happy with theres. Sorry to disapppoint the associated users.

P.S I can guarantee ill change my mind before next week anyways

i have heard that integy alum is bad quality, we had a discusion about ally quality somewhere and integy was bad quality.


I hear this all the time, but I have never had a problem with Integy's products. Though everyone talks like there alum. is flexible garbage. It's almost like you guys expect to be able to run into a wall at 60mph and not have a scratch on it. Well dough it is going to bend. If you don't want your alum. to bend, don't hit anything. The best money I have spent on my mini-t is alum. Integy shocks. They work great and don't leak, bend or anything like that. All of my other Integy products work just fine to.

Anyways, i'm sure this will start an argument, but i'm sick of hearing people say that the only thing Integy is good for is if you want a shelf queen.

Status: offline 		i totally disagree...the rc18t in my opinion is just a huge faulty design...the steering sucks...the driveline sucks...as soon as u go in dirt it sounds like rolling poop with all the sand in the gears...i have one of each...both with considerable hopups...and both with mamba 6800...and the mini t gets in the dirt way more then the 18t...becuz the 18t is always breakin down...and dont think im new to rc either...i know my stuff with these trucks...IMO the mini t...especially all blinged out as u say...will be much better then the 18t...whichever u choose...remember...the biggest thing in rc here is to just have fun...peace
