Just got back from racing with my Robitronic Mantis. I get to the track and start warming up. Then i see some guys pointing at my truggy and laughing. Really ticked me off. Just so happens i smoke both them in the TRUGGY A-MAIN. Winning my first event with this truggy. Beating them both by 3 laps. Now no one can tell me this is a cheap truggy becuz i made it a
1st place all star.

ah that just tells u that if u are a good driver u can beat anybody are u using the stock engine ,the design in diffrent chassis somwhat do play a factor but if u cant drive that forgot about it,i think some of the racers at your track might what to buy it now , i laugh when i see guys with these super powerful engines and are allover the place , and theres me with a 175 engine whop there butts espailly in 2wd nitro truck. the track i race at is a meduim size track . it is a good truggy u got.

Good for you bud..the funny thing is that if you keep beating them, some of them will be stupid enough to think if they buy a Mantis they will get faster

Most of the time its the driver..I'll bet they wont be laughing at you anymore

Good for you man! That is a great truggy that few people get a chance to see and drive. I love it when that happens to people trying to make fun. Next time you see them at the race just stare at them hard and smile! LOL!

Robitronics makes some sweet on-road cars. Nothing wrong with driving what you have. Have fun, ignore the posers.

If I was getting into 1/8th that's not a bad option.

thanks for the link i did not know (seriously)
i was at a lose to what it looked like it is not a bad looking truggy

tc5 man

man u most be a really good driver if u beat a revo with your t-maxx cause i know the revo design and i know it handles a lot better than a maxx .

tc5 man

i like the fact that it comes with a vented clutch bell and it looks easy as hell to work on it looks like u can use hellfire parts on it. the parts should defiely handle truggy racing .and that engine on there is a freakin beast

I had the mantis you'll soon find there is better out there...you have to do a lot to get that thing truely race ready...and the lack of support for it and tips/tricks made me sell mine...It was a headache to say the least...but the truck did handle well though I will give it that
