BL system
Ball diff
oil shocks
chasis brace
bearings
metal pinion
intellect battery
deans plugs
Then you could put some CF on it if you want

The stuff that nitrodude2 recommended is basically a necessity to make the mini-T a decent car. The BL system isnt NEEDED of course, as the stock motor has enough power for some styles of driving. But the other stuff is really needed, the stock setup is barely acceptable for a hobby grade truck.

What about an RC 18T is it worth the extra 50 bucks to go that route. Or would i still have to upgrade a bunch of parts as well.

How is Truck right out of the box. I am going to start racing minis this winter. The hobby shop Said to keep the trucks as close to stock as possible due to the smallness of the track. Just wondering if this is something i can buy to start off racing with.

stock the rc18 would be a far better choice. I own both. if you get a mini t i would get the baja version which is about 40 or so more.

Defiantely the BAJA. It has some stuff on it like bearings, etc that comes on the mini-t pro and it comes complete with the electrics as well.
