Just picked mine up for Christmas! 3 years on, and it's still a recommended buy for beginner racers. Can't wait to bust out laps!

Great review. Losi is definitely killing it with the mini T and mini B. I expect the B to be racing at my local track just like the T has been. I just wish losi would consider bringing the micro line back, with micro/mini RC's making such a comeback they would sell like hotcakes!

just got a mini t brushless and glad i did for the extra punch out of the box, ive got it cambered out a bit with stiffer springs for drifting and its a blast. after this though, now i want one of these! going to wait and see if they do brushless, and hope they bring back the 1/16th sct cuz that would eat a latrax prerunner for lunch.

I love my mini T 2.0. It's perfect for my carpeted basement. Very nimble with oodles of traction. I needed something to get me through the winter..lol here in Canada. I would love to add the buggy version (longer wheel base and narrower front tires), maybe in the new year! And mostly share the same parts to boot! What can you not like? Great video!!

@michaelcorcoran8692 3 года назад

I have the mini t & love it. However, Losi should sell the lower shock spring retainers as a replacement part. I am not the only person that "lost" one this weekend. I guess if your suspension is adjusted to a stiffer spring rate it probably is not really an issue.

How much longer is the chassis on the mini-b compared to the Mini-T 2.0? I compared the the Mini-T 2.0 wheelbase to the 1/16 slash 4wd. If the wheelbase was 50mm longer I could end up with a mini-sct 2.0.

This is awesome! I still remember how popular the original Mini T was back in the early 2000's I never got into them. But I always thought they were really cool. This buggy looks killer and actually like something that would be great on a track! Maybe a budget spec class would be good for this.

@VestedUTuber 3 года назад

On its own, this thing looks awesome. But I don't see it taking off with the club racing crowd it's being marketed towards. It's too small for most tracks (I actually managed to lose track of my Mini 8ight on a 1/10th scale track and that thing's significantly larger), it's too small to practice with even on smaller tracks since it would just get monster trucked by everything, and it doesn't seem like enough racers are willing to give new classes a try. There's just not enough support for anything that isn't stock 1/10th scale buggy. For this to take off in the racing side of the hobby, Horizon's going to need to push this thing HARD. Meanwhile, as a basher, it's definitely going to be an indoor only car, even more so than the Mini-T.
