I'm going to upgrade my mini-baja to a mongoose. If you want, I'll let you know about it when I get it.

Are you guys speaking English?

Mini-T's have a diff... what are you talking about it doesn't have one? It has a plastic gear diff. You can upgrade to a ball diff for $20-30, I put one in mine. I run a Mamba-25 8000kv on 2s lipo with the ball diff. No issues. Gets a bit hot but nothing too crazy if you gear it right, and it's stupid fast. On 3s it will wheelie too much and gets hot, can't even reach top speed due to the wheelies.

i have a mamba 25 w/ 8000kv motor in my mini t but i also upgraded to the losi ball diff and the dual disc slipper and its great. no problems whatsoever. so if you go brushless, i would invest the extra $50 or so and get those parts i listed also.

oh yeah and i have the cvd's also, those are nice they dont put quite as much of a jolt on your trans..
