We'll see. I wouldn't complain, but also the Mini-T was released when minis were more popular than they are now, so there was more interest in tuning them, thus also more manufacturer support for minis in general. Losi might jumpstart the next wave of RC hobbyists taking minis seriously, or they might not. No way to tell.
It does look like a nice little truck, all complaints aside. I keep thinking about getting a 1/10-scale TLR, but my RC shelf is already full and I don't want to get rid of any of the RCs I have right now.

Has anyone considered a brushed replacement motor to swap out for the stock setup? I know they're offering the brushless drop in for $70, but I wanted to see if anyone would have bigger brushed motors in mind to change out to. I remember way back when I changed out to a (now defunct) Krystal K3 motor since at the time it seemed like any brushless options just made the car unwieldy. Or, is brushed not even worth looking into at this point.

I preordered mine today. As soon as I saw it I knew I'd have to have one even if my OG Mini-Baja sits.

the carisma never worked properly. Bought 2 of them. Built one. Went through about 20 different batteries from amazon, carisma directly, a main, and hobbypartz and none would last longer than 30 seconds before voltage went too low. Tried the electronics from the second one and same problem so I gave up.
sorry to hear that and really surprised as I own 3 Carisma buggies and they all work great. My experience has been top notch, Carisma makes top quality products in my opinion so this is shocking to hear.

..the Mini-T, we have an indoor carpet track opening, thinking this will be fun for some on-road laps AND if they create a class well that would just be a bonus.

Ordered mini. Couldn’t help it. Already looking at the aluminum hop ups. Takes me back to 2007 when I was totally into these and the RC18. They were so much fun. Looking forward to doing it again!

The nostalgia sales on this should be strong! Which means good aftermarket again! Would love to see a spec, for-fun class pop up at the local track, even just made out of cones!
