Status: offline 		redfox03, I use the Savage XL header/pipe,it works well for me.

1mtx1,I have very little wobble.Its my fault though,I put my factory tires on different rims.I have to look at the tread on the tires to notice.
I dont think the wobble will effect anything,unless its some crazy wobble.

make sure your wheels are on the hubs all the way make sure your wheels are nice and tight , make sure u wheels are balance as well, if all thoses things check then give team ae a call they replace any thing on the truck for the 1st 90 days ,most time u just have to send in the bad part and they ship u new replacement to u free of charge

After tryin to mount the tires 6 diff times i had my friend come over and take a look. we both seen the drive train wobble . this was up front and in the rear. i rolled the truck around and u can see this i just dont wana run in to any issues.

Status: offline 		is it the tires that wobbles or the axial that the wheel is attached to? On my Mini all 4 wheels feel as if the nuts are loose and they have a lil play when i move them but they are perfectly fine.
If thats what u are experiencing u have nothing to worry about

well they both wobble. when i spin the axials they have some wobble to them. when i put the tires on they would wobble as well. there is alot of play i can move the tires around alot. every othere truck i have had i would get some play like this but not as bad wheel wobble. is it ok to drive it like this? when i push it on the ground it seams to roll in a straight line with no issue

Status: offline 		yeah.... even the guy at my LHS notice the wobble and asked if they were on correctly. I guess the wheels do have alot of play in them...but since the Mini was my first truck, i didn't notice it that much. Ive had no issues with them pertaining to the wobble.

Ive abused my mini (with my wobbly wheels) going on 3 years now and i have had no problems with axials or wheels due to the wobble. As u drive it, u wont notice it and it wont be a problem.

Status: offline 		Honestly, i think Ive abused my Mini too much. I had a .32 engine in my Mini at one point. I bash and i bash HARD! ! I went thru 2 chassis since i had my truck....and now i see that my body wont even fit on the truck properly. Looks like the front and back body mounts moved closer together...lol..chassis # 3. BENT chassis! The last month of the summer i was really hard on my truck ... Insane bashing and jumping (not the mention the many bad landings). Got some great video though...just no one to edit it.
In stock form, the mini is one tough truck for its size! I'm really surprised that i didn't break more parts..arms, hubs, mounts, dog bones. I have a stack of stock replacement parts that i never needed.

Status: offline 		No need to worry...Team Associated is reputable company, know for building quality rc's...it not like u brought a Redcat..

The stock engine always seem to run hot. I only had it in my truck for about a month before i changed it. If i riched i up, it ran sluggish and would bearly shift to second gear. It actually perform well running hot...but i wanted more power! So with switch to the O.S. CVR .18...that wasnt enough so i converted it to a Big Block.
As for the traxxas fuel....i USE to ran it also because thats all my LHS had. My pullstarter would always slip and i had problems with the one-way bearing. But if it works for u , use it.

red cats rc are just as good as any other rc/s i got my first red cat a year ago i bash it harder then i do my mini mgt 3.0 but the red cat just does not break. it is a torando bb buggy with a vx .18 i have since bought a red cat onroad kit. all i need for it is a engine i like all rc and red cat is just as good as any other rc but just for better price and the parts are low price as well. red cat are good rc as well

Over time, i acquired alot of stock replacement parts for the Mini....






These are going to end up on ebay one day...but untill that time comes, if anybody needs any Mini MGT parts PM me.
