So, now that we know about when to expect this to be out, I want to know how much green we are talkin cause "I have GOT to get me one of these!"


I saw this post and went to go look to buy one *had the credit card out haha* before I read it wasnt out yet and ran acrost the mini electric inferno or w/e with the fake engine and started to get disapointed.. Im glad I came back to find out they are really going to produce this bad little thing..... Can't wait..

Looks pretty cool. That starter box almost looked full size. Nice that you wont have to buy a new one.

Well if its anything like the electric version the diffs will be to weak for any real power and the parts will be so hard to find its really not worth it. My electric just sits on the shelf now. I wanted to replace the diffs with the Mini ST versions since they are supposedly stronger but I cant find them anywhere.

Funny thing is I could build the whole buggy out of aluminum EXCEPT the diff gears!

It all comes down to the money! If it's reasonable I'll buy one, too steep and I'll let it pass. I don't think the tracks are going to start another class unless they get a reasonable number of entries. I think I'm going to do a "wait and see". Looks really cool though!
