$50 dollars for a starter kit
2.4 Ghz
1:2x scale

The only thing that would make me *not* buy at least one would be if the steering resolution is extremely stepped (i.e. not indistinguishable from high resolution full proportional steering) and /or slow. I'm hoping yamar6 confirms that isnt the case.

I need 2 more cars for casual racing on my track so i hope these are just "Firelap US" cars.

Would you say the 1/16 designation is accurate?

Thanks. I have zero interest in 1/16 scale rigs so just hearing that was accurate sizing let me know I wasn't buying one.

Any pics? Any kind of review? How's the radio? What kind of settings? How's the range?

370 size motor.

Rear gears. No differential...

Spur gear and gear that meshes up to the drive gear for the wheels...

Stock motor, compared to the Losi 370 Frenzy motor, found in the Mini LST. Same can size...

Plug connections for the motor...

Cut the plastic cover over the heat sink, I think it's better off in open air than being encased, especially because that Losi motor gets hot.

Losi aftermarket springs for the Mini T. Fits perfectly:

Losi spring spacers fit onto the shock body for adjustability:

Losi motor soldered up to the factory leads going to the plug

Really?... that's your review?

It's the biggest piece of crap? A company sends you a car for free and that's how you review it? And then you proceed to try to sell the competition?

yea i'll send it back to them it was a waste for radio shack to even come out with it.Also if the car is like it it why pay 55.00 dollars when u can pay 10 more and get the mini Q.

Here is my review

turns like gen 1
can not put bearings in hubs or awd middle shaft
very slow even with hop up motor that they give(will try with battery pack)
no slipper so gears might strip if the buggy does get faster.
body does not even fit well also no wing steering has steps not a true 2.4 rc radio
they sold a fake rc18 and it was great now they put out a toy that is a chunk of plastic.

Also called and emailed the gentleman who sent it that want it feed back and never rec. a call or email.so at this moment it is a junk and would not spend the money on it.I hope the car is not like this but looking at the pics it is.all they had to do was make the evo chassis a little stronger and put a true 2.4 in it with new bodies and they would had a winner.they ask us what we want and they went the other way.
