Hey, I got that car too! Very strong car, have fun!

as for the tx, err... very difficult to get that price la. If you are interested, I got a second hand one, which I think held for about a total of 20 mins. Very very new. $40. But very basic. If you interested, I can pass to you.

ok ok... sorry, now it's the peak retail season so I am really quite busy. But after the CNY is here, I will have time. In short :

1. can wheelie and can jump
2. the non-tx version comes as a car with am receiver, and it's slightly different from the RTR with the tx, as in it's got an x-speed motor built in already. quite fast for a monster truck. It's modable but parts are scarce, not easy to find.
3. I got the non-tx version (with x-speed motor) for $219.
4. I have changed the shocks to mini OIL shocks, all 4!
5. I have also replaced the rear axle with a super light titanium one, gives it a lot more punch due to lower rotating mass.
6. The wheel base can also be adjusted. Pinions can be changed.

I'm gonna build a carpet track with obstacles and a ramp or two to bash it at home during the CNY period! I need a break man! Maybe I'll post the video when I do that.

hey! you got a mini-t losi??? Where did you get it from? Well, you can't really compare the two cos the mini losi is a 1/18. This monster is a 1/24 or 1/27, which means to say really living room stuff. The mini losi direct kyosho comparison is the mini-inferno. which is 1/18 buggy. I have that too.

The monster truck all upgraded from kyosho. The price for upgrades about another 100 bucks or so. Depending on whether you include the springs or not. The shocks not cheap though they are plastic.

Am interested in getting a M03 Kit. Live the Mini copper shell thats why. Wonder is there any M03 owners in here? Basically do you guys use it to race like GP style or?

hi, the m03 is very old already and quite discontinued at the moment. The chassis and drive train design also very old already. I used to have and m03 before but thrown away liao. And there aren't many races for the m03.

Are you interested to race or just to play for fun? If for race, then you are better off sticking with the mainstream 1/10 ep or gp. And many the kyosho 1/18 buggy. Other than that, not many other cars got serious races. Another one is 1/8 on-road. But that level is very serious racers and very competitive as well as expensive.

I am thinking whether I want to revive the mini-z scene here in singapore....
