Ive bought 6 mini's now. 5 mini t2.0s for my kids, my dad, and myself. My wife had to be different and wanted the mini B. We built a nice clay track in our backyard and it's been a blast!

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

My son bought me the Mini-B 2.0 brushless so we could run together at the HRCR carpet track. Can not get enough of this car and want to be on the track more. I would love to see you carpet race this and go over detailed setup. I have yet seen any content creator going over detailed setups for carpet with the Mini-B. If I can get the Mini-B down, I might jump up to 1/10 scale and start racing. Addictive/fun stuff. Like your KZbin content, have learned some good setup stuff. Thank you!..

[@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.

[@tisaconundrum]

Definitely agree. Especially from a price point perspective!

[@marksimmons5441]

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

[@W1DO]

And 1/12 drives kinda like 1/10 but you can get a race car and a spare for less than a 1/10 roller.

You should see the mini onroad scene. It's quite large. Glr and atomik dominate and took over the miniz class.

[@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!

[@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

[@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!

[@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

[@hyper_t47]

This is a great little buggy! I bought 2 for my daughter and I. Our closest track is not full sized and these are great on the smaller track.

[@robertglenn9993]

More mini B footy please! Need to prep and sauce those tires and loosen up the slipper and you’ll be golden. Been running the mini with my 22 5.0 at my local carpet track and having a blast. Though going from one to the other is quite a challenge for a lap or two. Great content as always!

[@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

[@Rch_P]

Just got the brushed version for Black Friday. Amazing price. Amazing setup out of the box for what it is. I really wished there was some classes for these things here in DFW, TX.

[@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?

[@scott09081981]

Your delivery style and layout of this video is on point! Obviously you know your stuff but still come across very down to earth. To see you slinging this thing around the track was awesome! How I miss our indoor 1/10 clay track here in Houston

[@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.

[@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

[@nsbob70]

You def found your groove after a lap or two. Looks like fun! That dynamite power package sure seems like the ONLY way to go! All videos I've seen with cars using that setup really seem to boogie!

[@bryceholmlund8198]

My friends and I used to go to a park in Seattle with short course trucks and make a figure 8 track around a couple of trees and race all day. It was super fun to slide them around in the dirt and have loose racing competition. It’s the first thing I thought of when seeing the mini and I think they would be perfect for park bash racing!

[@Kbunk_Youth_Football_Wrestling]

I bought a regular brushed mini-b for my son. Probably the biggest issue with it for kids is that it's actually a bit more difficult to drive than larger vehicles. It has proven to be quite durable though. On his the ball cups popout somewhat easily, but that also prevents other things from breaking. I do have the brushless motor for it, but my son isn't ready for that kind of speed. With the brushless it is very nearly as fast as stock 17.5 buggies.

[@gravit8ed]

BUY EXTRA DOGBONES. Those rear camber arms pop off and spit the shafts out, and they're small and painted black - almost impossible to find in the grass at dusk.

[@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!

[@Mindsetiseverything001]

Thats a great 2.0 roller! it looks like it has a nice low centre of gravity. i have the mini t 1.0 with aluminum hop ups Losi are so cool! they always make a nice professional bit of kit I really wish they would re-release the micro 1/36 series they are one of coolest fastest micro Rc car on a brushless setup I have ever come across! pure power in the palm of your hand! 👍

Hey Ryan, since your becoming a dirt oval guy. There's a class in the north east that uses the mini b in dirt oval form. Just a thought for another video. Good luck and love the videos. I run dirt oval in the northeast and u you should come to the motorama in PA in February..

[@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!

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.

[@xainte13]

Ended up buying a knockoff brushless motor because the Dynamite system seems to be out of stock literally everywhere. Instead of upgrading my existing Mini B to this level, I think I'm going to make my current one a basher/practice car and use this as my track car.

[@Luke-en2tk]

Very cool anything to get people into racing, also great at smaller tracks where a 1/10th may not quite be suitable due to the smaller size track. It looked fun but maybe a tad overpowered, a lower kv motor may have made it a little more driveable, you can even also get small sensored systems as well.

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.

[@jonathanheye2370]

You can shove a reefs micro 99 in there but need to drill wholes 4mm forward for it. Hobby wing has a 4600, 5200, and 7800kv motor set. Also some brass weight kids and carbon shock towers by hack fab and a guy that designed his own

[@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

[@Gmcworrior1]

Those are my favourite basher tires.
