and only $10 more than the mini T :twisted:

[Chris]

It makes me wonder if I should wauit and get the Mini Monster instead of the Mini-T?

Well, I suppose I could get both :)

[terra crusher]

THAT LOOKS SICK :shock: :shock: :shock:

[Chris]

It looks incredible doesn't it! 8)

[terra crusher]

[triggerhappy]

[terra crusher]

HOW MUCH? :?

[triggerhappy]

[SR71]

That is going to be cool, chris get them both,more cars=more fun :lol:

[terra crusher]

WOW!!!! THATS CHEAP!!!! :o

[maxxman#1]

thats realy cool but i like the mini-t more i but i would buy either one to have something to ride around when it is to cold out or its raining

[sublimedude24-7]

wonder how it handles on a track.

[maxxman#1]

it looks like it has a high center of gravity and would flip over on high speed turns

[Chris]

I would love to play with one though :)

I think RCCA or Xtreme RC is going to have a review of the little TXT next month....that little truck looks killer too!

[harty]

HI how fast does the min z monster go and how fast does the mini t go

[banshee]

That thing looks cheap to me, like a toy or somthing. I would definantly have to drive one and check it out before I bought one. But who knows there probably a blast to drive.[/quote]

[Pigeon]

No offence like but it looks like the kinda rc car you would buy your 6 year old sun as his first car. Looks abit tacky like the Nikko Rc crap :?

[sublimedude24-7]

if i had the money i would buy it and hop it up but i think i am going to stick with my mini-t

[SR71]

I saw one on monday, it is so cute. It looks like a reg mini-z on styroids with a truck body on it. Maybe in a week or two. I might have to put it in lay-a-way. It does look cool. I think it is strictly for indoors.

[Chris]

I also had my hands on one recently. I was a little disappointed actually. I thought it looked kinda cheap especially when compared to the Mini-T.

IMO the Mini-T is a much better way to spend your cash. The Kyosho is cool but I think that its limitations would quickly make you tired of playing around with it.

Maybe I am wrong????

[SR71]

IMO, I think your right Chris. More for show than anything.

[Chris]

I would still love to have one though! :lol:

[hotrodrusty]
