i got another fresh snow fall today and i toook my mini t out to drive right when i came home from school the snow was deep in places and you could see land in other places neways so i really think that the mini t should have 4 wheel drive cause it dug in the snow in some places and if the front wheels would have moved it would have been out of there in a jiffy neways i know that there are other vehicles i could have gotten that have 4 wheel drive but imagine a mini t with 4 wheel drive, neways so ya my stock mini t lost some power from alkalines in a little while after alot of digging in snow im gunna get a battery pack soon the venom 1100 mah one but tommorow i'll post a video of driving stock then one woth the battery pack.

There's always snow where I live! Me and a friend of mine went to drive our minis in the snow. I have an rc18 and he has a mini-t. There was an amazing difference between how the two handeled. I never would have gussesed that 4WD made that much difference!

ya i couldnt belive it either after that performance im not sure if i want to upgrade my mini t or just by a 4wd'er cause mini t with mamba will dig and get stuck same as always so i might get a mini lst or mabey even a rc18 but not ready for nitro yet.

wouldn't be a good idea to run a mamba in snow, wet conditions

pimptruck

Why not, Mamba systems are waterproof, esc and motor

I cant wait till we get a little snow so I can bash in it. This winter has been so weird last week it was 70 & now its 30. Go figure

man i wish i had snow in fl. i got some paddles on my pro-pulse and i would like to see how they run in the snow.

PIMPTRUCK i have kinda been lookin around for a waterproof set up, well not totaly waterproof but more like water resistant. just cause my gf lives on a dirtroad and when it gets wet i like to play in the mud a little. not nothing too wet but just sling the the mud around the puddles and stuff. so i was wonderin how much a mamba system would cost me and are you sure that its water resistant, and i have herd of some people having to program their bl esc to thier radio, do you have to do it with the mamba system? and can you run stock batt packs in it and/or lipo

divine 13 try this: http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products...rodID=LOSB1165 and these: http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products...rodID=LOSB1154 should make a difference.

$160 from C.C. themselves (might be cheaper elsewhere, ebay?)

as for the water part, no time to read for me but you can look [link=http://www.castlecreations.com/products/mamba.html]Here[/link]

You might have a hard time finding a waterproof reciver though!!!

Racing T

or you can just put your receiver in a ballon.

A 4wd mini-t isn't a mini-t. A mini-t is a 2wd copy of the xxx-t. If you want a 4wd there are other cars that are made with 4wd.

OR, losi makes paddle tires

Racing T

yeah that was the ling that I put, to paddles.

gingerbreadman

how do you stop the snow from getting on all the eletronics?

BCSavage

put them in balloons with just wires coming out and zip-tie them shut around the wires. Can also add some silicone to the end so absolutely no water gets in. Servo's are a bit trickier but can be done with silicone

tjarr001

that is sweet i am sold on the mamba. but do you have to program them or can i just put it in my truck as soon as i get it and take off? also where is the cheapest and what modle should i get? i dont need anything super fast cause i dont race, but i do wanna try and get forward and reverse if it comes with it.

tjarr001

i looked on ebay and saw a competition/performance/and sports package and 5400, 4200, and 8000k which is the best here is one of the liks [link]http://cgi.ebay.com/Castle-Creations-1-18-Mamba-Brushless-Performance-Pack_W0QQitemZ280067214126QQihZ018QQcategoryZ44028 QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem[/link]

My Feedback: (2)

tjarr001

Racing T

tjarr001

well right now i am using the 1200mah propulse bat that comes wit the charger. but later i will prob get a lipo if the motor and esc can handle it

Haulin Azz

i say the 5400kv

tjarr001

Haulin Azz
