[@Blimpus]

Super cool truck, I just think it should be in the 169.99 range, they just have a high premium on this lil guy

[@douglaselliott8298]

To answer your question, " Is the time spent disassembling for the video worth it?" Thanks to your thorough and ' well-lit ' videos, I have purchased 3 or more RC trucks. Keep it up; your reviews are among the very best.

[@CapeCrawlers]

Omg my son is going to go nuts over this

[@rcdriver]

I know he will!

[@nateolmsted22]

Looks like a really well built little tank. For the price I was expecting a brushless system, but aside from that looks like a fun little basher

[@PeterOekvist]

Crazy money for that...

[@jeffmackovitch9987]

As a MINI RC guy, I’m glad LOSI has released these! RTR basher Monster Trucks. Just what people have been asking for. And for what you get, the price is right. It’s not cheap but I’ve had to double the initial cost of a Scx24 to make it like this. I want BOTH (and maybe a KING SLING?)

[@UMCmetal]

Could the problem on the asphalt be solved with a modification? Would like to have one for my son, but he can't nuance the throttle yet. Would be frustrating if it flips over all the time.

[@PSF_RC-PatSmageFilms]

Looks pretty awesome! Would love to see a non-licensed version for less dollars though.

[@Chernofanatic]

I’d assume a kit version will come out in 2024

[@GreatLakesRC]

Im glad you mentioned the price. The liscensing has to be the bulk of it. You can get an Arrma Gorgon for $170 rtr. I know its a bad comparison, but the price of this thing is really had to justify.

[@gingerssuck]

How so?

[@ernestarguello7421]

I think Losi did a great job on the mini the price is a little high, but I think I will be getting one. Also, you did a great job on your video showing all the metal gears.

[@chadedwards5908]

Nice job of the truck & yes I appreciate you opening up the truck! and showing us all the internals good to know well built.

[@kanakti0n338]

Thanks Greg for all of your in depth reviews that you give us because of you I have purchased four RC’s the past three months based on your videos showing the drivetrain of them 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾

[@Finishlinemotorsports]

Sick! It moves like a real monster truck

[@matthewcopeland4441]

Appreciate the full break down of what all is there! Always good to know what is throughout the rig.

[@nikolus24]

The stop, read , got the like from me ❤️. Looks like a sweet little MT! I Can't wait to throw one around the off-road tracks at Madness!

[@PhilipCockram]

Good review . We appreciate you taking everything apart . Everyone loves Monster Trucks so Its good to see the resurgence . The Big Losi LMT was a bit to much for me so I did a Grave Digger conversion on my Arrma Big Rock that worked out well . Then I needed a 1/24 th scale Micro Grave Digger to match it so I modded an older Kyosho Mini Z Monster . This 1/18th scale will fit perfectly between them both . Just in time for Christmas too . Nice .

[@jeremymiller2340]

Huge hit??? THAT THING IS GOING TO FLY OF SHELVES!!!!! this release totally caught me off guard...WoW great job Losi... and of course you to brother for another great video and all the work ya do making em!!😎

[@proraptor4146]

Not for $270 lol thats too close to 1/10 everything else

[@rc-hunters6831]

Always on point and honest!!!

[@ReadySetRC]

Great review! This little thing looks amazing. These companies really keeping you busy with all the release.

[@RCRoads]

Great overview of the mini LMT. Believe me we all like that you go into such detail and take the time to break things down so we can actually see with our own eyes. Nice little truck for sure. 🦾

[@alimaleki217]

I ordered one using your link as soon as I saw this video! I agree with others that the price should be lower but I can’t resist a Grave Digger!

[@rcdriver]

Thanks for the support! Enjoy it. I had another fun run with it today. The Grave Digger is hard to resist. 😄

[@frankiep2314]

I'm buying one of these never had someone like this i i'm praying excited to get one thanks for the update and stay safe ✌️

[@TABRO284]

That looks really good. I hope losi do some updates to the bigger LMT

[@deezrcz]

I’ve been waiting for something like this! So awesome. I don’t think it’s overpriced. I expected it to cost more. Officially licensed and amazing performance. Consider the 1/10 lmt being over twice the cost. Thanks again for an amazing overview!

[@VetteWay2Fast]

Awesome, can’t wait to pick one of these up! Actually being brushed might be cool in the nose wheelie stands in losi’s vids. Brushless might be to punchy for this and one can always convert to brushless if they desire

[@shaunodriscoll]

That’s cool, fun video

[@heffe17]

Nice review. Growing up grave digger was king. Now a mini one, may need to have it.

[@RC4us]

great video AGAIN my friend

[@MichaelMcClung-et8nk]

That mini lmt is sick! I know I'm getting 2 if not 3 for some fun this winter! Nice job Greg!

[@spencermccarrey5207]

Kind of seems like the suspension is non-existent from this video. I know it's a 1/18 but when it lands it seems like it comes down hard and then bounces because the shocks don't absorb enough impact.

[@bfam8056]

That thing is freaking awsome

[@dannyfehr4130]

Great review! This is definitely something to add to the list of rigs to buy!

[@vbspeed7571]

Heck ya......rite on time....a must hav🎉🎉🎉

[@mitsuman5555]

I love how faithful they were to the design of the 1/10 version. More metal than I would have expected too.

[@n22pdf]

Wow great little truck another knockout from Losi :) Pete

[@Sil3ntB87]

Great video and breakdown of this mini monster, really do appreciate the time and effort you take to teardown the vehicles and show us all the goods so we know what's all there before we buy. Definitely agree with you about the diffs, should have been a closed cup design, the space is there for it and really is my only negative on this. Thanks for your work!

[@robertruiz5417]

Excellent video

[@fruitycoconut]

Damn it. I dont even have time to play with my losi LMT but I want this one as well !!

[@TABRO284]

Same here.

[@chef11chef11]

I was into it until the price, not sure. I personally can justify getting just to have next to my digger, but it looks great.

[@BulldogB101]

You definitely give one of the best breakdowns and reviews there is thank you!!

[@CaseyD406]

Can’t wait. Preorder is on. Nice vid.

[@PhilBender612]

Nice job breaking down this cool new little Monster truck Greg. Looks like a winner....maybe add a brushless sytem?

[@MikeS-cv8xs]

I will gladly pay that price. Thank for the overview.

[@413RC]

Mini Nats is going to be a week long event next year! lol

[@mustangguy3706]

Ppl really be upset about the price of this MT 😆 if you can build a cheaper scale MT then build it 🤷 if it was cheap then ppl would complain about its just another fms or they could have done this or that. Gotta love the Internet... Im just thankful that the hobby has another RC to choose from.

[@mikekrueger2187]

ok kid, for 1/18th brushed, it's over priced, dont get blinded by the brand.

[@mustangguy3706]

@@mikekrueger2187 kid? I mean I do enjoy my toys 😆🤷 I have no brand loyalty to losi. Is it over priced? Probably but what isn't these days.

[@proraptor4146]

Smt10 is a better value

[@OmniMan_Racing]

I feel like you actually need to pay attention to the build break down to see why it cost what it does. Looks pretty sick

[@LawrenceTimme]

100%.

[@logansmith6037]

Yeah I was complaining until I saw it has all metal gears metal gear servo powder coated aluminum frame clip less body integrated roll cage real shocks. Also it’s a nice size not too small like that junky smasher thing. Also it’s light weight so it’s not breaking the body and whatever else first time you use it if ever.

[@OmniMan_Racing]

@@logansmith6037 the reinforced diff housing and cush drive. This is the closest I've seen to anyone taking their larger scale cars and shrinking them without compromise

[@logansmith6037]

Yeah it’s nice I got both

[@LawrenceTimme]

I appreciated ypu taking it apart to show us the internals. Im amazed they didnt cheap out on the small version. Its almost the same as the big LMT which is very impressive. The price is high, bit its actually worth it.👍

[@tylerp.4979]

Im so happy losi didnt just half ass a truck together like a mini t 2.0 with big tires and a grave digger lid (not that a 2.0 is bad). Im so excited for mine to arrive so I can park it next to my big lmt

[@mikecollins6378]

Pretty cool little truck great review 😀👍

[@ejlucas93]

I talked bad about the price. I bought one. Not disappointed! Love this truck!

[@ryurc3033]

Yep i want one

[@maxpaul11]

So cool! Thank you for sharing brother! I really like this! Well put together just like its big brother! Awesome!

[@bucksrcworld8119]

this is epic madness Greg! great review. Definitely always like the in depth look when you break down the axles and transmission.

[@ryooperdude3144]

Roughly half the size, half the price than the tenth scale..seems fair. Haters will hate. I think it looks really sweet!

[@TABRO284]

Plus this mini already has a good quality battery included in the price.

[@videoted660]

Thanks for the break down. An video :)

[@natedawg5150]

I been wondering why theire wasn’t a smaller more affordable scale hobby grade grave digger monster truck out yet it’s 2023 I been waiting for a while now one is here thank you losi❤❤❤❤

[@JohnnySmith-z8p]

Regarding the differential. Some ear plugs would work wonders locking it up..

[@ryano8613]

There is no diff cups. The only way would be to lock it or weld it. Ear plugs will run through pretty quick

[@RCjump]

I think it's interesting to compare the fms smacher v2 and the losi mini LMT !!👍👍😀

[@therealcletusrc]

The granite grom is $130….. also 1/18 scale and brushed…. And it’s a monster truck.. and it’s also fast for what it is.. I think I saw a speed test on it and it was more than 15mph

[@DobbyKong93]

At 270, I'd rather get either a proper basher, or even a 1/10 drift car. Cant justify the price.

[@LawrenceTimme]

Normal cars are boring compared to a solid axle truck.

[@ectorvalle4059]

Taking the vehicle apart is exactly the type of content I'm looking for! We want to know exactly what we're spending our money on! Thank you! 👍🏽

[@annon1731]

I appreciate the fair and balanced review.

[@tizrc1358]

Hi does it have any place for limited straps by the shocks like the bigger brother

[@neilpeffers4348]

If they do a mini king sling I will definitely be getting 1

[@Paul0088]

Boom sweet

[@throttle_therapy0025]

Any recommendations on a spare battery that has longer life or more performance?

[@JacobScherer]

Any idea what bodies will fit well? TRX4M? Mini Revo or Summit?

[@exp2tr10t]

It's like christmas came early! This is SICK!!!!!! Sorry Granite Grom....🤣

[@yogybear3]

When you turn all the way left or right did the inner tire get stuck or not spin at the same rate as the outer wheel?

[@FLOORINGUNIVERSITY]

whats better this or the larger 1 ?

[@yiarkungfu]

They will sell the shit out of these. ❤Christmas is going to be fun this year.

[@themarneuz]

Which one do you recommend for 6 year old as first car? Mini or 1/10 LMT?

[@rcdriver]

I wouldn’t recommend either. I’d recommend an Arrma Gorgon. (with adult supervision)

[@JMOSORT]

Honestly being Losi for 270.... i guess is worth it giving the fact it will last.... a bit expensive for my budget at the moment but definitely is nice.

[@PorkinsTheWhite]

I wish it was brushless but I get with licensing and a completely new design it’s going to be this price. So my question is where there be brushless available for it? I know the Mini T has a brushless option but I imagine you’d need a higher Kv here.

[@VetteWay2Fast]

Honestly I think this is geared toward the smaller spaces to run like living room monster jams where brushless is to fast for. There’s tons of aftermarket brushless systems for 18th micros so can always convert if wanted

[@maxpaul11]

The price argument! If you think about it, it comes with steel gears, ball bearings, state of the art transmission, metal chassis, metal suspension links andba license body! Fair game!

[@writedeanb]

NEED!!

[@GreenMeanie101]

It would of been nice if they released them before Christmas.

[@MichaelWilliams-ei8cr]

Well i have all the other Losi minis so I'll have to😊

[@K5_RC]

$270? The Granite Grom is $130, comes with the same battery and charger, and is much more upgradable and durable. I guess if this being "scale" is worth an extra $140 go for it. But the regular bashing market doesn't need a $270 brushed mini

[@timsgta]

It completely outperforms the Grom in every way imaginable

[@K5_RC]

@timsgta it literally just looks more realistic and goes 2mph faster 🤣 if that's "performance" to you, go for it. Handles like shit comparatively. Fragile AF. No aftermarket. Just looks cool

[@timsgta]

@@K5_RC sure whatever you say

[@K5_RC]

@@timsgta go do some research, bud 🤣

[@K5_RC]

@timsgta I have driven them all, multiple times. As well as own the whole Grom line. The LMT literally just looks cool. That's it. Fact check yourself before you make yourself look like an idiot

[@boduke9428]

I love my king sling. This looks like Losi looked at it and thought "how can we make it worse" then covered every base. Smaller and slower isn't a great start.

[@sethsauceda3677]

Well you could say the same about any mini release ever. Scx24, mini jrx series, mini b and mini t, etc. This is not an evolution of the lmt, it’s a more obtainable and portable variation of it.

[@boduke9428]

@@sethsauceda3677 it's considerably less than half the performance and size for over half what I paid for the full size. The price should also scale with everything else. My FMS Smasher was half this price and performs how this should.

[@sethsauceda3677]

@@boduke9428 an lmt costs 649.99. A mini lmt is 269.99. Double that price and it’s 540. How is it over half the price of a full size lmt? If you paid less than 540 that’s anecdotal and should not be used as an argument. Half the scale of a 1:10 lmt is 1:20. This is 1:18. Small cars are never going to be as powerful as their larger counterparts. And for something this scale, you don’t want stupid fast performance. You want scale performance. This would be uncontrollable with more powerful electronics. Plus an fms smasher is slightly more than half the price of this lmt and only goes 5mph on the fast gear. So this lmt is less than double the price and it gets triple the speed..

[@boduke9428]

@@sethsauceda3677 I bought on Father's day sale for $549. My argument stands, the performance of this does not scale to the full size. For the price it should be brushless or the price should be lower. I won't be buying it. Anyone who wants to is fine with me.

[@isiahanderson3001]

It have good speed how fast it go

[@andyb9994]

Great video love it that you take things apart so we can see whats inside, i dont think you made it something its not as anothet viewer commented, You actually said its a little expensive....Losi is always expensive on all there models, may not be for everyone but i dont think they have to bust your balls because of the price...im not a 18th scale fan myself, but may be cool for inside this winter...Great videi 👍👍💯

[@rc-dom-uk]

i like it 👍 i dunno what nimh would fit it tbh

[@whitehorse82804]

what would be preferred, the mini LMT….or the bigger LMT?

[@Diaszurana]

Spektrum is making a 5200kv brushless 2-in-1 for this😊

[@jak3est]

The rims being bigger on the inside practically making a monster truck tire a low profile tire drives me mental. Looks very toy-ish other than that huge flaw losi nailed it with the lmt and mini version

[@ddkiss65]

Can I bind my DX5 Pro to it?

[@BeardRubEnjoyer]

The small size just seems too bouncy. Especially for $300. Very cool design and parts. The running footage looks very similar to the $25 dollar Amazon Special that my kid has.

[@RickyD1968]

Hey RCDriver are you getting the NEW Traxxas Rustler 4X4 Ultimate ???

​@@LawrenceTimmeit totally matters what are you talking about? Lol
