if they have any spare parts, get another set of the shock collars threaded plastic part on the shocks. And a extra battery or 2 if you can, trust me you'll thank me later.

I am very very unhappy with this truck so far for $308.. The batteries are $22 at the LHS but they get smoking hot and last 10 minutes or less in training mode the slowest mode on the thing.. my 3 yr old just started crying when it died again. He wants to drive so bad and now it'll take a long time to recharge the thing just to get 10 minutes out of it again... . So for a crap $22 battery out of $308 it's sad that that's the best they could do for their devoted customers. I will be calling traxxas tomorrow to let them know how I feel about this crap they give us.. I have bought traxxas stuff for years and this is a let down.. I'm pissed yes.. my 3 yr old is and that's why I am.....

Default Stampedekid's Mini Revo!

*Copied from BYT*

Got it today though my LHS charged $300 I brought in Stormerhobbies' price and got it for $275 from my LHS. They must like me :P. But anyway also walked out with a Tenergy battery combo pack but I didn't walk out with a series connector, they didn't have any. So they are gonna make their own and give um away or charge a dollar or two. But first impressions, this thing is fast. Tried it out front of my Poppi's house(grandpa) and its sure fun. Ran 3 packs like that. Wheelies on command, got some dirt in the front bumper so ran through a puddle a few times to wash it off. Man is this fun, did some stoppies, tons of wheelies, and ended up on its lid multiple times. Video should be up in a few hours though I didn't have a camera person and it almost got ran over by my friend's mom haha so the camera got put in the grass! But anyway a size comparison to my MLST2 if anyone wants to see more size comparisons like to my Slash, Nitro Pede, anything.. Feel free to ask. All the pictures were taken right before the 4th and 5th runs in front of my house or in my room. The indoor pictures may be bad or shaky because of bad lighting and i forgot to put on dual image stabilization.














Enjoy!

I've been running the stock gearing with the stock single battery and getting 20 minutes of run time in normal mode. I'm not sure why you are only getting 10 minutes. I charge mine at 1A with a cheap Prophet charger and they don't even get warm.

I did upgrade to the high speed pinion and put two batteries in series today and it definitely nukes them in about 10 minutes.

Not sure what to tell you.
