i was wondering if it was worth the cost to take a mini t or a 18t and putting a brushless in it... are they really that fun? i own a savage x and a jato... but will a mini be worth $200-300???

YES!!! Go to youtube and search for brushless....... eg brushless mini t.

People say they are fun for awile but then you just get bored. Look on ebay and see how many there are. Its not a wise investment.

That may be your personal opinion. But I'll have to tell you there isn't anything more fun to try to drive then a mini with a brushless & lipo.

I would check ebay.....I drive a savage and got the mini bug so I bought a suped up micro rs4....there is alot of power in that little car.... I can understand someone buying one and getting frustrated but its alot of fun once you get used to driving it.....to me it was woirth it now I can race in my living room nice and quietly.....I still take out the Savage but I don't get out as much as I would like so the little car satifies the the RC itch

That's an extremely subjective question... and all of my minis have cost me much more than $300 each, all told. Myself, I prefer the smaller size and lower maintenance / hassle of electric minis to nitro any day. Besides which, if I ran my savage up and down my street every day, I think my neighbors would kill me. [8D]

Whatever you end up buying, read up and find out what breaks so you can fix it before it does. All the minis will have diff issues with brushless; make sure you shim them tight! Of my minis (mini-t, rc18b/t, mini inferno, photon, vendetta buggy), I've found the vendetta to be the most reliable and easy to drive (after you yank and shim the diffs, front and back and buy steel outdrives / cvds).

i think im going to add a poll, this is kind of a big decision...

just because it is a poll doesnt mean that nobody can post!

Your question is somewhat akin to "do you like chocolate ice cream?" Some folks will say no, some folks will say yes, and in the end it doesn't matter one bit because it's up to YOU what kind of ice cream you like

$300 is a lot to some people, and a drop in the bucket to others.
