It looked cool enough, so I put a few on order.
Another cool thing on display, was a PRO-LEVEL 1/18 scale pan car! It was at the Robotronics booth..I ordered a few of those too!! Finally, a micro car with top level treatment.

Dude, get over it! 
. IT IS NOT A 130! 
Pan car is a Robotronics (thought I said that). I wish I had taken a few pics of that car (I keep forgetting that my phone has that capabillity). I'll try to get one of my friends to get some pics before the show closes on Sunday. AE was not in attendance.
Another car worth mentioning is the 1/14 scale tc from Carisma. Horizon is bringing it in under the Sportwerks banner called 'Recoil'. I worked on my rep several months ago & he took it up the food chain at Horizon. Unfortunately, it is comming in a rtr form with fiber glass chassis. I am pushing hard for a racer version---Carbon fiber, alum shocks, NO electronics etc...

The dialed thing about this is you could take .5" PVC pipe and make a track that could assembled and dissasembled in minutes and cost less then $10 and can be set up in your living room and stored in your closet. I think this coule be the scale that the micro market was truly hunting for.

From what I understand a sheet of plywood may be too small and a full size Mini-Z track may be too big I think somethign around 10'x8' with lanes around 18" wide may be the ticket.

If you guys want to see some footage of the Micro-T and some of the other stuff from iHobby, check out Horizon's coverage of iHobby Here
There's video there showing how quick the Micro-T really is. I was really surprised when I saw it run for the first time at how quick it was.

runtime and track size?
I am deciding between Mini-T and Micro-T for my son and I to get for a Christmas present. We saw the Mini-Ts when they first came out a few years ago (at Chicago hobby show).
Runtime:
Does anyone who saw these at the hobby show have any idea of runtime with stock setup?
Size/track size:
We have a finished basement with some nice open areas, and can setup a course. I am concerned that mini-T will be too big and micro-T too small. We have had many sub 1/10 scale cars in past (hpi micro, brp, mini-z, xmods, zipzaps). We both are experienced racers with experience in regional racing (sedan, off road, 1/12 scale, etc) and prefer hobby quality...that we can setup and tweak...not toys.
Any advise is appreciated.

In the house
So it sounds like the first batch of micro t's are out. My LHS just called to tell me mine is in.
Traveling for work, so I won't get my mits on it until this weekend...with almost a foot of snow in the forcast for tomorrow, sounds like the perfect way to spend some quality 'indoor' time! Boy, is my dog gonna be pissed

All i know is this thing is tiny! Picked on up today for my birthday. Pretty quick all things considered. only thing i'd like to see for this truck is adj. steering rods. As for motor it looks like a 130, but i had nothing around to compare it with, so i'll get back on that. you get about 5minute per charge. on carpet it'll pull a wheelie.
My earlier post swore it wasn't a 130 motor, but looking at it closer i think i was wrong.
