Do you have a backyard? If so build your own track, it's a great hobby. If not maybe with Facebook or something you could connect with people that have that same interest and build one somewhere close to home

[@trevorfurlotte]

I would love to see other companies introduce their own 16th scale buggies. This would help reduce the challenges of opening an indoor track. Ive looked at lots of spaces that are just a touch too small for 10th scale but would be find for an 18th scale track

[@MrTgrundy]

This is a great spec vehicle to get into carpet racing. On smaller carpet tracks, this thing is very tunable. More tracks need to consider this as a way to introduce the hobby to more folks.

[@nicholasfinch4087]

Definitely agree. Especially from a price point perspective!

I am new to the rc racing game and the local carpet track is getting a mini class going. I have a "B" with a Surpass brushless 7200 kv, its a blast

Hopefully my local track can run the mini truck as a class

[@kurtbenson6600]

Glad to see an extremely reasonable price point for this. I recently found myself downsizing to 1/28 scale since the winter weather has our local outdoor track clsoed for the season. I was really surprised that there's another, almost completely separate community involved with the smaller stuff. It's been really great and it's definitely a segment worth exploring if you're looking to broaden your horizons and knowledge of all things RC.

[@zacbrewser]

What 1/28 did you get? If you got the associated. I promise you you’ll be impressed if you get a gt24b. Kits 99. Brushless 4wd w/slipper tire options. And it HAULS. 2s is almost unusable in the house

[@kurtbenson6600]

@@zacbrewser I purchased a couple different brands. The Atomic AMR and AMZ touring cars caught my eye initially because they were more similar to the 1/10 scale cars that I'm used to with double wishbones, CVDs, etc. Since then, we've added an AWD Mini-Z that my son races in the drift car class and we also picked up another AMR and AMZ for a total of 4. The track we race on is a road course, but recently they've talked about adding some jumps and starting a class for the 4WD buggies. I would actually be up for that too since it's not so different from running 1/10 scale offroad cars on carpet. Like I said before though, I'm just really thankful to have anything local to race in the winter months here in Iowa!

[@bigdawgsovalracingspot]

You should try to make it out to the Mini Nationals in 2023 at R/C Madness in Enfield CT

[@gravit8ed]

FYI that dynamite combo 2-in-1 motor seems like it'd be a great fir for other similar-sized cars...I fit one to my WLtoys 959, which I foolishly converted to full metal (frame, running gear, everything) and it's basically gutless from a standstill. The 6000kv rating doesn't give it much torque on the low end, so they're not much good for anything over 1/18th scale

[@williehenderson8674]

Upgrading these are way more affordable and convenient for the curious beginners and th have a fun car if they stick with racing or not

[@davidwolford4655]

I myself “stumbled across” your videos and am pressuring myself into racing. Used to bash as a kid but am old now. Novice class is where I assume one starts but I don’t wanna be “that guy” that is the only old guy on the racers stand in the novice class! Thoughts I am interested in the 4WD buggy class as I just want a 4 WD car. Selfish I know! Great videos thank you!

[@Petriefied0246]

This is great, here in Scotland we run the Tamiya M-chassis as a budget racing class and I love it! I also race 2wd, 17.5 TC and F1. You asked for a suggestion of what to do with it? Why not do a video with a nephew/niece or friend's kid and introduce them to the hobby with a little track in the garden or local park?

[@chadbailles9563]

I am the EXACT person you described in your video. January I bought three of these to get back into racing after 30years (before xxx) and I love how little you can spend to get a great platform especially knowing I needed everything, not just the car. After not even a year I’ve dove in so much I have plans on going to the biggest Mini race in the nation at R/C Madness in Ct, in March (I have to fly in). My local track has not stepped up to the plate fully so I really hope you can help promote this platform even more, Thank you. BTW - weight….. go ahead and add too much then take out what’s not needed. Ssshhhhhh, don’t tell anyone though. Lol

[@nick_cnc]

You should make a video on the LC racing mini buggies. The LC's are better built, more capable, and more fun than the Mini-B's.

[@jamesmccabe8736]

The rtr has been perfect for kids just getting started. Everything in the box and inexpensive. This looks really good to make mod mini B's. Fun little buggy. All the brands should be looking at this

[@michaelmaschinot2891]

Hey Ryan, I too live in Florida and have had an interest in the "mini" racing scene but had a few concerns first, that you may be better geared to answer - 1.) Any Tracks here locally race any "mini" classes - if so, which? 2.) Are "minis" ROAR/Regulated? 2a.) If regulated, what's the specified scale to be classified as a "mini"? 1/14th, 1/16th, 1/18th? As I see multiple models rocking these scales, claiming "mini". *Your vid answers this* 3.) What's the Difference between Mini-B RTR and Pro-Roller as they're almost the same cost - the pro kit has better parts I'd assume? Thanks for all your help!

[@humboldtef]

Mini B vs the WL toys buggy you had on recently might be interesting

They should make a carpet version for all those small carpet tracks where 10th scale buggy feels cramped.

I was wondering when Losi was going to release something like this. Now they just need to release a better servo and the T/B will be even better. Sweet video!

All the local carpet tracks near me run these now as a class. Some tracks even run a stock and mod class. I have 2 already but I’ll be getting this new roller to be my mod buggy. HackFab makes some really cool parts for this platform. 👍

[@gravit8ed]

I bought mini-ts for my two nephews, brother and dad last year and then upgraded them to the brushless combo this summer. I didn't time it, but those 50C dynamites gave us runtime of more than 20 minutes per charge pretty easily. Although they were really hard to drive on the indoor carpet at RCMADNESS without a lot of suspension tinkering...and those dang rear dogbones disappeared, because with a good smack the rear camber arm pops right off and your driveshaft gets ejected at speed. I feel like I was always working on one of the 4 mini-ts - then again, the nephews are under 10 so it's not like they were pro drivers, RYAN. :P

[@413RC]

[@rcracer4807]

check out mip upgrades, they have a slipper clutch, ball diff, and a stand. Also check out HR, they have a very nice motor mount plate

[@rcracer4807]

also check out the j concepts tires!

[@SteveZaviatchi]

Hey Ryan, great video I have a mini B myself. And of course I upgraded it for my local rc race track as well. The hopups I put on it are: alu steering rack, hobbywing Pro Stock spec esc, Carisma racing sensored 4650kv motor and alu slipper plates, proline tires (wedgeFront/prism Rear) and it rips at the track. But the tip I want to give you is replace your standard plastic slipper plates for the aluminum plates (LOS312007). The plastic plates will wear considerably faster with that 6k kv motor or even melt in high traction conditions. Hope the tip is of some use to you.

[@dosfeos805]

What pinion size were you running in your mini b?

[@rodcaseracing3376]

I've seen people tape brass battery weights on the bottom of the chassis to help give it some weight on carpet, may work for grippy clay too.

[@Meenie66]

Man I just saw these 15 mins ago for pre order.... WANT!!!

[@ST-0056]

Transponder is almost as much as the buggy roller.

[@SebastianLong]

Ive been wanting the Mini T for quite some time and always kept putting it off then getting something else. Today i ended up buying the Mini B roller which is practically the same thing. The main sale point was they are having a $30 off the Mini B roller and i got it. Ive got 16 other RCs that include 1/5 scale so this one will be my smallest. I want to put the Castle Creations Mamba Micro X and 8200 (?) Kv motor combo in it. I would like the sensored setup but i feel like the 2850 kv (max kv sensored combo i can find) would require a large pinion to get the same speed as the 8200 unsensored combo. Sensored systems are great, but i dont intend on racing, currently at least. Which combo would you suggest because i want to get the system ordered asap? Do you feel like i would be better off getting the sensored and gearing up or just getting the 8200 unsensored and using a mild sized pinion? The only connection i have with small scale is the 1/18 Traxxas Teton and Prerunner that i purchased for my nieces. Also curious as to whether the servo horn that comes with the roller is 20T as i got a servo in mind for it. Dont have my heart set on servo either and am open to suggestions. Probably better off just getting the Spektrum servo tbh but am open to other options. Castle System is definite, just indecisive as to motor choice.

[@MrStarfoot89]

It would be super cool if you participated at The Mini Off Road Nationals at R/C Madness in Enfield, CT on February 27, 2021 and made a video from it 🤩

Hobbywing 7800kv system for 63.99 is best bang for buck. 6000kv dynamtie system is 100 Canadian. Used the extra cash to buy the servo. And 7800kv with stock gearing will do 40 mph

[@travisharrisphotography]

Hi Ryan! Love you channel, just found it because of the Mini-B. You have great content and really connect well with your audience :-) I like the last name too, haha. Anyway, I have one coming tomorrow. I run the Kyosho Mini-z buggy now, indoors on hard tile floors (think marble). I have to use super soft compound foams to get the traction I need with the little guy. To be honest, its heaven as it pretty much performs like a true 1/8 at a fraction of the size. It's unreal. I am getting the Mini-B because I want to see how it performs in the same location. BUT, I already know the stock tires are not going to work. I tried searching and I am surprised to not find any foam options for it? Do you know of any? It's been out now for about a year so hoping someone would have jumped on this. I did find some harder compound foams for the mini-T, but that would only work for the rear tires of the buggy. and, its likely a hard compound for street use. :-( What do you think, as you know tire compound is everything, lol. The point of me getting the mini-b is because my Kyosho Mini-z (while amazing in everyway) is VERY hard to get parts for, and is very complex. Its also not really sealed well for anything outside.. so, having one buggy that can possibly do both would be great for me.

[@jasonrobinson7343]

Mini b was my training wheels for a few months before going 10th scale. Been out of the hobby for 25 years until this car. Second and third race nights on 10th scale and I made the A main (one b bump), finishing 5th and 6th out of roughly 25. If you can learn to drive with this thing, 10th scale will come easy (it’s much harder to control than 10th scale). One word of warning, that aluminum horn will eat your servo alive (the moment arm design is bad). I had to rebuild 25 times before designing custom mounts for a reefs 99 micro, which is THE servo to get. Also, Facebook has a ton of groups for this with thousands of members…come on by!

I really dislike how you mock these mini race buggies. You make it seem like it's more of a toy than a true race buggy. Well apparently it can hang in there with it's larger counter parts. These mini rc cars coming out are fueling a revolution in the Rc business and keeping a lot of shops a float. And I'm not just picking on you Ryan, no one has taken these mini rc cars seriously. Mini z racing is extremely competitive and very affordable for not only for consumers, but for businesses as well.

The girlfriend, the kid any guests that come over I got extras. All of them are kept brushed the brushless are just too fast for my track. I think if you make them too fast and run them on too big of a track, it loses the point Minis are one of the most fun things in RC in my opinion.

My little bit of experience on these, they are too quick to react. Not enough weight for the power level. If someone made a slightly bigger bore shock for these it would really tame it down and make it so you can hammer down through the corners.
