I dont have the first two you mentioned, but I do have the mine revo and I love it once I moved it to lipo. From what I know, the first 2 are 1/10 as the mini revo is 1/16th, there are many pros and cons to each but the main thing people will want to know is where are you going to run your new toy? Mainly grass, dirt, pavement?

I will say one thing, I have a 18r as well but I love the speed on the brushless mini revo. I dont think the first 2 are brushless so if you do plan to jump to brushless and lipo it will be a little more expansive.

Sorry like I said I only have a mini revo out of those 3, I do have a t4.1 brushless and love it, but it'2 2wd, not 4.

Of those 3 I'd get the Brushless Mini E-Revo. Good mix of small size and good performance.

If you plan on going off-road much, I'd go with the brushed e-revo but if your not running it through anything thick I'd probably go with the mini on lipo.

for grass would have to say the brushed e revo . for anything else i would say 4x4 slash of the 3 the e revo will deal with grass best imo the slash would love dirt and gravel . the mini would be good in grass to if it is cut good and short but if it were me i would just grab the 4x4 slash

4x4 slash out of those, but why not look at the SCRT10 or Hyper 10 SC? Far better trucks.

id get the 4x4 slash because they are really durable and they are becoming very big in racing if you are going to start
