atom3624 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Heh, I STAND BY that!! Really fathed off, but the Mental Maxx is still superb!! It's way better than with the M+3 !! Must have got a bad one. Tried for 'dry joints' and there's no problem. I'm not an electrical engineer and don't fancy pulling it apart, so I'm trying the Warranty approach - we'll see, but I don't have much faith! Made some adaptors and tried the M+3 - works fine so the Tx/Rx, batteries and motor are fine. Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Hmmm I fancy something new, but need funds... Keeps tempting me to stick the Mini 8ight up for sale and finally buy a 4x4 Slash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Good choice . Thanks. I've wanted one for absolutely ages... But I enjoy the Mini 8ight a lot, I'd hate to get the Slash and not find it as fun, the only downside I can imagine is it's not as nimble, with it being a bit bigger and a bigger shell etc...

I would guess you can also take it where the mini8 can't without obviously slowing - I can see my MERV slow on grass, but the Maxx just GOES!! They say a change .... Go on, you know you want to!! Al.

They say a change .... Go on, you know you want to!! Al. Well yeah, to be honest, my Mini 8ight has dealt with everything I've thrown at it in the quarry, it's not been where the Bajas used to run for obvious reasons, but I don't imagine the Slash would do all that well either... I'd also have to find the right person to buy the Mini 8ight because I wouldn't be giving it away, it's got a good spec and several LiPos with quite a lot of spares.

Zardoz Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Masked up the Mini Cooper shell ready to paint the roof, had to trim the window masks out myself from a printed sheet. Started assembling the M-03 diff and chassis, it's all so small and light! Can't wait to see it running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
