• NEW Losi Mini-B Is It ...

[@J1Z06]

I bought one tonight. They race them every Thursday. Low cost, high performance, lots of fun. Great video.

[@scaleworksRC]

My included batteries were rusted rotten and useless but I already had some fresh ones on hand. The steering and throttle rates I did know know about and this is huge! Thanks! I have the Mini T 2.0 brushless and it's a handful out of the box.

[@JasonGN2045]

Thanks for the tip on the throttle D/R. Only ran one pack through my mini b and already ordered a brushless system. Will have to give the brushed system another chance before I do the upgrade.

[@JasonGN2045]

@@williamperri3437 already went brushless so stock pinion is fine now with current setup. And I'm really not a fan of the stock transmitter.

[@RKDownTime]

Bought one for my son and one for me for Christmas. We set up a track in the basement out of some moving boxes and they are a blast. We are planning on getting The Mini-T 2.0 brushless for outside. Hope Losi comes out with a Mini 4WD buggy soon.

[@articaldan9519]

[@yobtnirp3D]

Top speed?

[@robbryan3044]

Two thing: 1) Yes, the Losi Mini-B is, most definitely, worth it. Don't have mine, yet, but only because I want the yellow one...plus, I'll be upgrading it to brushless. 2) When you're gonna head over to Nor-Cal, give me a heads-up in advance...either call me, or text me, 1-2 days before, letting me know what time. If I'm back from Vegas, I could bring my GoPro, and help you catch additional camera angles.

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

Robb I'll call you over the weekend 1) Agreed and I've a pile of bits on the bench to do the same tonight 2) Fog City says the tracks had to close again but when it does the 3 of us should head down there and anyone reading this who has a losi mini-b is free to join us

[@josefmd]

Man! When you said J&M Hobby house in San Carlos I have instant flashbacks of my 80's R/C ing. Did I see correctly that they are now closed for good? I have very fond memories of Cliff helping me out once upon a time. Remember buying my first RC plane(Carl Goldberg Eaglet 50), Cox Scorpion race buggy, and a Team Associated RC10 kit. I have been gone from the Bay Area since the 90's, and wish I would have stopped by when I have been out there for work. Thanks for the great video with the Mini B thinking about picking one up.

[@VestedUTuber]

I have the Mini-T 2.0, brushed version but I put a HobbyWing EZRun + 18T combo in it. These things feel like solid racing machines but I feel like from a product perspective they're a step backwards after the Mini 8IGHT platform. They're pretty much dedicated carpet racers whereas the Mini 8IGHT felt right at home on smaller outdoor tracks and the Mini 8IGHT-T could even do some light-duty bashing. It's worth it if you have a place to run it. Unfortunately, my Mini-T 2.0 spends most of its time on a shelf.

[@murmles]

I got the Mini T a few months back - wonder if the same trick will work. Great video!

[@troyflanagan4237]

This video is so useful! I’m so glad I came across your video! Your dual rate tip is the best, keep up the good content!

[@speckledjim_]

The mini scene is experiencing something of a revival at the moment. Especially with these little Losi besuties

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

Best handling RC I own! Corners like the wheels are glued down.

[@GreenEyedScotty]

So glad I saw your video! Picking up a mini-b and was thinking I'd need to upgrade to brushless right away, but with your throttle dual rate tip I'm sure it'll be plenty fast for my non-racing needs. Cheers - liked and subscribed!

[@206beastman]

Go dynamite brushless way way faster

[@murd3r3d_4.5]

The woah moments are a little cheesy. But very informative and loads of detail about the mini-b

[@jasonshawaga3413]

Such a great little buggy. Our local indoor carpet off road location will have a whole class of them this weekend

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

I've just converted it to brushless, just got back in from filming it's test run, glad to say it's not altered the handling much at all, it's now like driving a fast slot car with the slot! I'm hoping to take mine to Norcal hobbies in San Jose with Fog City RC when the track opens up again

[@JTheTsunami]

Thanks for the throttle tip!!!

[@jefflohr5533]

I could not get my car to go faster until I took it out and wide open throttled it and hit the dual rate and boom its def faster

[@HundTheHound]

Just tested on the mini-t thank God I have a way to slow it down for the 4yr old

[@StevenGilbert88]

Sorry wrong account, I mean Yes I tested it and it works for the mini-t

[@JasonGN2045]

I just tried playing with the throttle dual rate, and I was able to bump it up just slightly, but it's still really slow. Fortunately, my hobbywing combo should be here this weekend.

[@todd92371]

I'm finding that I like these cars with small scaled down tracks that I make. I think the car shines on small self made tracks.

[@JasonGN2045]

@@todd92371 Yeah, I've only tested mine out on my small backyard track. My mini t 2.0 is perfect for it stock out of the box. I still put a brushless system in it, mainly because I don't like the stock transmitter. But the buggy stock still feels a little too slow for my liking on my track.

[@SpinRush]

Thanks for this video. I purchased a couple MINI-Bs that I received this week. I'm leaving one of them stock and the other one I've already started modding. Here's my question: What do you think will be the BEST Brushless build setup? I have a DX5C so I've already decided on my receiver. So it just comes down to 2 in 1 Motor / ESC or split em up? That Dynamite Brushless seems to be the fastest and easiest brushless conversion. What are your thoughts?

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

Well...I was thinking that then looking in my motor tin I found a $32 7200kv I'd bought off amazon that should fit, if I find time tomorrow I'll fit it.

[@kevintemido]

I’m trying to get my first rc and looking into losi. Any recommendations? I don’t have a budget

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

Losi would be a great first RC as it handles well and being so light the battery gives a good life, however it's not super fast although it feels very fast due to it's small size. Now you mention budget but keep it low to see if you love rc before going wild, if you want a fast car that's a basher then I'd point you towards an arrma granite 4x4 blx, brushless and will do 50mph which is more than enough for a first RC. Or a traxxas stampede, or slash are very good starting points, you can work on them easily they're very tough and you can get lots of hop up parts from other people to make them handle better and go faster. Hope that helps. Most of all I would say think about where you're going to drive the car THEN think about what car to buy

[@dauntlessfpv]

I think the 144001 is faster, but that new wltoys looks awesome. My guess is slower out of the box, but faster with brushless upgrades

Also, how fast do you think it would go with the throttle dual rate tuned to perfection with a 3s lipo and 7200kv brushless motor? Let me know

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

30-32mph on 2S with a 7200kv as I've just got back in from testing it on 2S as I type this!!! So 3s should see you over 40 even with the stock gearing

This is about the handling, it's more race focussed, there's no slop in anything on this car, I love my wltoys cars inc the new 124018 BUT they have a lot of slop in the joints and the steering, speed isn't always everything!
