Guys...the truck is just over $100...
This is Losi's way of providing a race-ready Mini-T without raising costs on the manufacturer side..because that directly translates into higher costs on the consumer side.
It is no secret that graphite is more brittle at times..and with the very small pieces with little reinforcement as are on the Mini-T, it would have been pointless.
And for them to hire a new set of employees to bag the parts as they come out of the molds, separate hardware, and package them as kits, would have costed MUCH more than simply having some of the trucks already being built outfitted with a few different parts and skipping the electronics on its way into a box. This truck is coming out of the same factory as the RTR Mini-T.
It may not make everyone happy, but they can sure get pretty darn close.
