I am building a 20 x 40 carpet track. Do you suggest 1/16 2wd Losi or 1/14 4x4?

MiniB is the most common of those scale I see raced. There’s a few running the Associated Refex.

I'd personally want a 1/14. The build quality on the Losi Mini's is nowhere near the level you get on something like an LC Racing mini. Also, the LC Racing minis have been around for years with no end in sight for parts support.

The original Mini-T didn't last very long and we're already about two years into the new mini's lifespan. Plus Losi has already massively marked down the prices on the mini's twice which to me isn't a good sign that they'll be around for very long so parts support could be an issue.

I just got my mini b roller in the mail so can’t comment on the long term on that bet it appears to be a good quality race quality buggy at that scale.

I have a small 20x30 basic dirt track and I wanted to run something smaller so I can add more elements to it - might put some old low pile rugs out as well. Hence the mini B. Will see in a few weeks how it actually works out.

I also have a LC long wheel base car and its one of my favorite cars I have ever owned. The slightly larger scale has way better shocks and factory drivetrain parts vs a mini b. I also like the flexibility and room for electronics at this scale.

But it’s to fast for a small track. You can turn down the epa but to me it also doesn’t rotate that great on smaller tracks. I use mine largely to bash and bring to the 10th scale track on occasion so it gets used a lot.

Thought I would share a size comparison.

I ended up running 1/10 stadium trucks woth less lanes. Its still a good time.

If you're running by yourself you don't need very wide lanes. Also, you can help keep your speed up on a small track by banking your turns.
