MINI-LST!!! My review with 7 pictures!
I just got it today, and all i can say is AWSOME! This thing is so detailed it's amazing.
I first started out driving it on my kitchen floor, found out that that was no fun, concidering i was sliding all over the place, and donuts were too easy, so i moved to the outdoors! Acceleration on this thing is amazing!! It has so much torque, all four tires spin out of control on pavement once full-throttled. Top speed is also incredable, but could be better. Run times have also prooved to be reasonably good, concidering their's two motors being powered. i havent yet got a full charge on the battery's yet, cause it says to only charge them for 3 hours for the first time, instead of 5hrs. so far iv'e got about 8min. of hard running on only half a charge(with stock battery). i havent used the venom 1200 pack that i bought, i'll give an up-date on that tomarrow. The most amazement i got out of this thing is the suspension believe it or not. the ground clearance is incredable, jumping and ramping is so smooth. driving through grass doesnt even hardly slow this thing down! And the suspension travel is more than enough!!! I could ramble on about how good this thing is, but i'll leave it up to you, to find out for yourself!!! all i can say, is this BETTER be at the top of your christmas list!!!
i have a question...to charge these packs that come with these mini's, sence they are ni-mh packs, it doesnt hurt to charge them even though they are not fully discharged, correct???? Also, i heard the optional peak-charger can charge e'm in about an hour, instead on 5-6hrs like the stock charger says. does that hurt the battery pack to speed charge it like that??? i'm sure ebay willl have various models of peak chargers, which one should i get?
one more question, soon i will be buying multiple packs to keep my truck running longer, is their any kind of charger thats able to charge more than one pack? if so where do i get it?
Picture next to my Traxxas Revo
so, let me guess, you want one now? lol!

I just got mine today and it's Awesome!!! I drove in my basement and four wheel burn-outs were the norm with anything past 3/4 throttle, and that's with only 15 minutes of charge time! Hey does anybody know what the blue foams are for?

The blue foams are just for packaging. used to cusion the battery and charger.
Hey, btw, i got to messing around with my mini-lst tonight, and i mounted a wing, and installed some blue shock springs that came from my xtm x-cellerator!! it looks sweet! I'll get pics tomarrow.

As far as your peak charger question.. I use a vison peak 2 and will get a full charge in about 20 to 30 mins!!! works great.. I bought 3 batts so that I have enough to keep me happy for as long as I feel like driving.. (note this is for the mini t) however they use the same batt pack so take it as you want.

I saw one in the store today. Looked nice - I would love to have one myself. Very nice -
Does the battery pack from a minit fit in it?

yes mini-t packs fit it. i thought the venom pack didnt fit all that good, but its a tight fit, but fits fine.

Seems like a nice truck with the dual servos for steering makes it very responsive. I played with on in the store. Loved it.
