Default NEW Kyosho Mini-Monster Truck!!

I knew that once I set my sights on the Losi Mini-T, something would come along & mess things up:

I've heard mixed opinions on the Mini-Z line, and this looks like just a doctored version of their Overland series. The shocks look a bit cheezy/limited, but then again, they've been doing minis with great success for quite a while. Could this one be 4WD, though? One of the pics makes it look possible, but I don't know if that would be a good thing for a mini, as it would have to affect run time/speed pretty significantly.

I still like the looks of the Mini-T & the fact that it is a "clean sheet" offroad design. But I might have to wait & do a comparison (and read reviews) rather than jump on the Losi when my LHS calls & tells me my reserved Mini-T is in!

EDIT: The link above SHOULD work, but it appears to have glitched out in the last few minutes! I got it as a link from the RC Car Action website, here's THAT link!!

Oh boy, another crappy car for the mini-z line. These things are fun for about 5 minutes and then you realize how slow and crappy they are. I don't see that this truck and the Mini-T will ever be compared against each other. It would be like comparing a Micro-RS4 and a Mini-Z car. Even though this is a "monster truck" the Mini-T will handle jumps and off road bumps much better. Besides not being able to do much off roading, these things are slow. Mini-Z's with mod motors are still very slow.
