Mini is a mini 8ight truggy body by a company in Canada and with a 3s lipo you can even tell a difference of the beadlocks

Thanks! Tires rub the body just a bit in full turn, once I mount the Velcro to the sides of the body and chassis they won't. Tires are sweet! They grip so well if I slam the brakes she front flips! Lol I like them a lot and with the VXL and 60a ESC, she screams!

Thanks! I know I'm running a 19t pinion and I'm pretty sure I have the 58t spur in it. I bought her used and never changed it but it came with an extra set of spur gears and ones missing so I'll check when I get home and let you know. Lol
