Who wants to buy a Mini-T ;-)

[jozza]

I've just seen this:-

looks like my Mini-T's days might be numbered []

[BiggusDitchus]

Wow! Trinity are bringing a 4wd one out too.

These are going to be killer little machines. I am glad I didn't dump a whole bunch of money into my Mini-t. That way I won't feel so bad when i buy one of these when they come out

jozza would you do a trade for my ferrari f2001 with spares and with box and manual? cheers mike

[jozza]

I won't be trading till I have one of those other trucks in my hand I'm afraid! So probably will be about Christmas time if I trade/sell it! I love my 'T too much to get rid of it.... yet []

[jozza]

Biggus, that Trinity one looks good too. Looks like a few manufacturers are jumping on the bandwagon. Excellent news though, the 'T is the most fun car I have, it's easy to chuck in the car and take anywhere, so a 4WD car the same will be superb.

The trinity looks like a mini-t ripoff but the AE looks like it could eat the mini-t alive.

I like the way that Associated have included separate speedo, receiver too. It makes it a lot easier to upgrade one bit at a time, unlike the Mini-T where you need to buy new ESC, receiver and servo all in one go..

Here's another:-

This looks a bit more toylike though, and I'm sure I've seen it reviewed as a Venom somewhere?

This is the Venom one - looks a bit different??

the Associated looks top - do you think they'll do a 1/10th shaft-drive 4x4 truck? that would be cool [8D]

[jozza]

It's difficult to tell with the Schumacher, the web details aren't very detailed, but I think that the Non-Polarity-Battery-System is a thing which Venom invented for their truck, and Shumacher's has the very same thing, so I assume it's the same car.

I'll wait till my LHS gets them in and then take a closer look, but I think the Associated looks the best little 4WD I've seen yet [^]

I heard from a CML rep that there has been some trouble over the Mini Monster/Mini Giant. Apparently, CML won the rights to import the Venom one then Schumacher found theirs from some Chinese company copying Venom. This led to CML taking Schumacher to court as Schumacher were going to be undercutting CML by about £50 for essentially the same truck. What the outcome of all this has been I don't know.

i own several losi cars and was thinking about buying a mini-t but the schumacher mini monster has caught my eye and i would have to say that schumacher cars seem to me to be better built than most other manufactors,ive just ordered mine will let you know what i think.
