Y go to Small???
Why the branded company wants to make small things with small 0.5 engines? 
we all know that the smaller engine kills the engine bearings fast and problems of tuning. or... cheap for some little test drive?? 
huh.... 
don't really think can play it indoor too. 
no big jump in the vedio, can't play drift cause too small.........
just.. it's so cute for the first impression.
eh.... any opinion?? or i already get use to 1/8 already

Seems to have been the market trend in the last few years. I suppose there's something inherently cool in having a mini something. Kinda like looking at your kid and going ... hey thats me ... just smaller! 
I guess they'd be more profitable as well , less materials involved in manufacturing and sale price not that much cheaper comparatively. Everyone is jumping on the bandwagon too I suppose that in the event micros and minis really take off , they won't be left without a slice of the pie.
But as with anything if there are enough people racing them , then why the heck not! If they need less space for a track , less start up cost and lower running costs ... win win win! But playing bigger scale of course more jantan! Raar! Anyone want to start 1/5 club?

i play 1/8 buggy and onroad since they can move fast and big power also big actions..
then sure faster than 1/5 leh...
still love to play 1/8 maybe for my age. i'm 30 already...
hmm... i don't think will be fun for me if i just carrying just a hand bag to go outstation for the competition.
tikets hotels.... or...world championship??
maybe mini is just close to as a Toy and 1/8 is just looks more to protype.

The small scale is good for children, women and some beginners.
Hardly those I know, have one especially those who race. It is too unrealistic to us. Just my opinion. Good for the market who find them cute.
Selling well in Europe, USA, Japan and Hong Kong. The rest of the countries especially in SEA very difficult to catch on.
Nobody likes the idea playing with such a small car.......the larger scale especially 1/8th are like extremelt popular with the mid 30's category......it's big boys toys.

You can try toy kar at Berjaya times square(assuming that they are still there). They are the guys who bring in the Kyosho ranges of R/C stuffs.
Their website : www.toykar.com.sg
