I get about 20 to 30 minutes stock. Just got it about 3 months ago. It's a blast! I had the original one but got stolen many years ago and feels so good having it back!
Just found out about this little gem. So, I drove down to my local hobby shop and picked one up for myself. It is so fun to drive.😍 I think that this little truck will bring new people into the hobby and allow folks to form racing groups with other RC friends.
I bought this for my 6 year old grandson and hes having tons of fun with it as he only has it for two weeks and tires are starting to get bald. It's his fave because it handles well and fast! Still stock atm but not for long. Great vid!
Did you drop the throttle down a long way for him when starting out? I’m returning to the hobby and wondering if my son will be able to join in also (4 yrs)
I had the original Mini-T back in the day. That was a fun little RC. I broke the steering arm so many times. 😁 It finally kicked the bucket when I drove it through a puddle of water. I'm thinking about picking this one up just so I can use the spare parts I still have. Good review, thanks.
Great video. Thank you. I ordered mine off Amazon for use at the Koa campgrounds around me. Nitro is too loud people frown about it, didn't wanna spend $700+ for 1/8 scale or even some 1/10 scale RC cars. Tried my step bros and this thing is freaking awesome!! 😃
Not gonna lie, was scared the stock 650mah lipo 2s battery wasnt gonna last long but boy was I wrong.. Stock mini T 2.0 with stock battery, I can get about 20-25mins from a full wall charge.. It does take a while to charge the battery with the wall charger tho, takes about 2 hours or so.. Still worth the $140 price tag.. I love this lil thing.. Loved the mini T1 alot as well.. Great video by the way👌🏻
It’s such a cool little car! My buddies both fell in love with it, they both scooped up there own lol one of got the 40th anniversary from our Lhs. Cracked that badass body in the first hour 🤣
Great review. Had mine a few weeks. Perfect for when you can't nitro. No real need to upgrade, handles great and is plenty fast enough for home/garden. Love it.
I remember buying the beer wagon body, Baja motor and the integy blue all aluminum kit, and over sized tires for the original. Brings back the memories
A lot of fun in a lil size 😍😍😍I've gotta get this for my collection! There isnt a hobby grade 1 18 rc in my collection only toy grade 1 18 such as the Litehawk spike Jr and adventure force metal racer buggy.
I used a losi xxt forever when I was younger so this gives me sever nostalgia Still have it but all the parts are discontinued so mostly sits on the shelf if u were wondering
I bought the Mini T version 1 when they came out years ago to keep in my tool box at work so I had something to do during my lunch breaks. I might have to get the electronics from the new one and just update the old one.
Was hoping to meet you at RCM for the mini nationals this year! maybe they'll still happen. I'll be featuring my brushless mini-t 2 shortly. love this platform!
Another Great video review!!! Can you get Losi to remake the Mini Slider and Mini Late model now? Would love to see them with the new chassis from Losi, Thank you
Just got me one the same color its brushless and it luv too do wheelies I have my own charger with the plugs 2 came in the back for 8 dollars paid 200 dollars for it luv it have the team associate reflex 14 b 114 scale luv it too only 250 complete with battery and charger and brushless buggy or truck your choice I have just started running the small car's I have 110 scale cars and trucks 5 of them in all they are all brushless motors last longer and they are a lot faster I only buy the brushless car don't want to have too change motor later on better just buy it brushless and save you money in the long run great video keep the great work up
Cool review! I've had mine since a week after launch and love it. I'm waiting for the motor to die so I can put in a brushless Hobbywing system. I can't wait to take it back to the track when they reopen.
I own 3 rc10gts a losi 8 bug and trug a kyosho mp9 2 slashes a rovan lt 450 and 1 mini t 2.0. Out of all of them the mini t is hands down the most fun for the money..... Plus if its yucky outside i can turn laps inside. 😋😝
Just got the brushless one today. It's so dark when I get home from work so I put a work light in the front lawn and driveway. This truck is perfect! I ordered two batteries for it. I got a hour and a half out of the stock one. I may not need extras 😜
My use case for this is probably going to be way different than most haha... I'm hoping to stick my GoPro Max on top of it and use it as a chase vehicle for my RC Drift Videos. With Horizon and Amain having these on sale for $100, I couldn't pass it up. Even if it can't support the weight of the camera, it looks like it'd be fun to drive around anyway.
They’re supposed to be back in stock any time now. Saw a few shops post on IG that they had them back in stock yesterday which is why I put the video up. The LE kit does look pretty awesome. Enjoy! 👍
I had the V1 years ago and, regrettably, sold it a while back...fast forward through college and my parents dropped off my old junk. Been reviving my Rustler, making it lipo/brushless ready. I hope to snag a mini-tv2.0 soon. Unfortunately my xxx-s is going to sit on the shelf. Can't find parts for it these days.
Hey Great video! I am think about getting one of these for my daughter but after reading all the review out there I am thinking brushless is the way to go, for power and run time. Just wondering if you think that is wrong? Also is there a good place to pick up a used one?
It's an impulse buying for me. Went to hobby shop few hours ago looking for spare parts for my 1/8 buggy but found this little puppy sitting on the shelf. It pique my interest as this model never been advertised by any local hobby shop in my country compared to models from wltoys and MJX but what made me bought it was how similar it is to proper 1/10 race truck. It's smaller than most cheaper 1/16 rc truck but it's a perfect size for my 2 y/o daughter. After dialed down the throttle enough, it's manageable for her to drive on field while controlling the steering.
Well I order one was kinda unsure bout it , I love this lil truck so fast and handles good really like it get bout 20/30 mins of run time such a fun rc 👍🏼
Awesome video, I just picked one up today. I did not get to test it on the stock motor, I put the dynamite brushless combo in and it is amazing. I'm using a dx5c transmitter. I'll be making some videos on it shortly, much better quality than my old wl toys 959.
Just ordered one of these on discount for $104.00 How easy is it to upgrade to the brushless motor? What else would I need to upgrade along with the brushless motor?
I had a Mini-T many years ago with a Beetle shell. Miss that little bugger a lot. Such a fun, if slightly fragile car until the necessary parts were replaced. Today, rather obsolete unless nationalism's your thing. Great footage RCDriver_Online as always.
So I just got mine two days ago and I already put the aluminum shocks front and rear I’m literally gonna buy all the aluminum upgrades 😂 I also put the brushless dynamite but im having trouble with it
Definitely a nice little truggy. My LHS had them in stock late winter & I definitely thought about pulling the trigger for my son's March birthday but didn't. I will definitely grab him one now since I've seen your video whenever they come back in stock! Just received the INFRACTION while under quarantine. I'm also curious about those YELLOW SPOKE wheels you have on the one hanging up in the back? 🧐 Lol
Did you make that dual engined USA 1 that was featured in RC car actions Monster Trucks magazine back in 2001? If so, even if not, I'm still a big fan!
So I got a new 3.3 engine for my tmaxx just want to if you can help me out? So I switched the pull start to an ez start my battery is charged everytime my tmaxx starts up it just takes off remote not in hand then shuts off now my engine will not rev can you give me any pointers
Great video as always Greg! I just got one as a father’s day present. I cannot wait for your follow up video with some of the upgrade parts and with the brushless system by Dynamite.
Absolutely love mine, on a prepped scale surface you can feel it's racing roots
I get about 20 to 30 minutes stock. Just got it about 3 months ago. It's a blast! I had the original one but got stolen many years ago and feels so good having it back!

TEAM LOSI ALLDAY! Been having my LST2 over 14 years and still running great..
Where do you get your parts for your mini lst2? I have one too and I need to rebuild my entire drivetrain
My friend just got me the brushless one. It’s my first RC and I’m really digging it so far!
Great trucks. We race in our basement on carpet, 4 racers at a time, 3 minute heats. I think the track layout is 20' x 9'...
i always want 1 of these cars...
how long does the battery last??
I have the 40th anniversary edition and love mine... wheelie popping machine..
It’s such a cool little car! My buddies both fell in love with it, they both scooped up there own lol one of got the 40th anniversary from our Lhs. Cracked that badass body in the first hour 🤣
Great review. Had mine a few weeks. Perfect for when you can't nitro. No real need to upgrade, handles great and is plenty fast enough for home/garden. Love it.
I just bought one of these, I'm so excited for it to come in!
I remember buying the beer wagon body, Baja motor and the integy blue all aluminum kit, and over sized tires for the original. Brings back the memories
Mine's coming tomorrow, can't wait. I've got 2 originals out in the garage I think I'll revive also. Summer is FINALLY here.
A lot of fun in a lil size 😍😍😍I've gotta get this for my collection! There isnt a hobby grade 1 18 rc in my collection only toy grade 1 18 such as the Litehawk spike Jr and adventure force metal racer buggy.
I'm late but just orderd one it looks like a blast of an indoor carpet runner, good video man, as always!
How would you storage charge the lipo that comes with this kit with the provided charger? Looking at getting this kit for my father as a gift
I ended up putting the scx24 jeep body on mine
Hello so to charge it you also need the blue leads or just Though the white conector
Would this be a good beginner RC?
14 and up? My 3yr old has been driving his for the past 2 months and is a wizard with this - great truck, we love it!
Wellll It’s the “suggested age. 😉 Liability stuffs. My kids started driving original Mini-T’s at 2 1/2. 😄
I have one on the way. Should be here tomorrow!
I used a losi xxt forever when I was younger so this gives me sever nostalgia
Still have it but all the parts are discontinued so mostly sits on the shelf if u were wondering
We raced these in a stock class, with a piñon change. Good fun.
What pinions can be used ?
Yeah what's the PN on that different pinion
Hobby Media we used RW racing ones in the UK
pistonpoweruk what pinion did you exactly use? Would like to try this out.
Marty McFly think it was up a couple of teeth? Rw hardened pinion I think.
I bought the Mini T version 1 when they came out years ago to keep in my tool box at work so I had something to do during my lunch breaks. I might have to get the electronics from the new one and just update the old one.
Being this is only $140 just get the new one chief.
You can probably sell the old one for like 80 and get the new one instead of spending like 150 on all the different parts to make the old one new
I put a 5200kv and 7800kv hobbywing in mine 5200 alll the way, these things are sick!
Was hoping to meet you at RCM for the mini nationals this year! maybe they'll still happen. I'll be featuring my brushless mini-t 2 shortly. love this platform!
Maybe it will happen. I need to get up there soon. Lot’s of race machines waiting for track time and Chris has a track for everything. 🤣
Me2
@@rcdriver yes he does! they're building a new dirt track as we speak! The mini's even got your buddy Dean B out of hiding! lol
@@rcdriver hi I am Ed I Iam excited about the mini t 2.0 I used to have the original mini t I hear this one is water proof
Great video. Do you know if there are any street tires that will fit?
Nice job. Great review.
Another Great video review!!! Can you get Losi to remake the Mini Slider and Mini Late model now? Would love to see them with the new chassis from Losi, Thank you
I still have my Slider. I love that car. It would be cool to see those revamped too.
Just got me one the same color its brushless and it luv too do wheelies I have my own charger with the plugs 2 came in the back for 8 dollars paid 200 dollars for it luv it have the team associate reflex 14 b 114 scale luv it too only 250 complete with battery and charger and brushless buggy or truck your choice I have just started running the small car's I have 110 scale cars and trucks 5 of them in all they are all brushless motors last longer and they are a lot faster I only buy the brushless car don't want to have too change motor later on better just buy it brushless and save you money in the long run great video keep the great work up
Awesome little truck. The first Mini-T was great fun but these just seem so much better, as far as handling goes at least.
These trucks are a blast!!! Love mine!! Nice video!!!
Damn, this thing is really cool. Shame they haven't brought back the micro T as well, I missed my chance at one of those a few years ago.
Yesss i miss the micro t
Just bought mine! Can’t wait to drive it!
Cool review! I've had mine since a week after launch and love it. I'm waiting for the motor to die so I can put in a brushless Hobbywing system. I can't wait to take it back to the track when they reopen.
How do you change the spur gear?
Hi I have the brushless version I found a little bouncy I have changed the oil in shocks to 50 what else can I do thanks
I own 3 rc10gts a losi 8 bug and trug a kyosho mp9 2 slashes a rovan lt 450 and 1 mini t 2.0. Out of all of them the mini t is hands down the most fun for the money..... Plus if its yucky outside i can turn laps inside. 😋😝
I just bought one today I it’s AWESOME
Can you trim the throttle down far enough for my young son to use it when I’m not playing with it myself?
Did you figure this out? Wondering the same for my daughter.
Can’t wait for the maxx video
how long a go was the video
I’ve got some rc18t’s and they’re a blast. The miniT has been on my list of must haves since it came out.
I just got the brushless one. (My first brushless) I absolutely love it!
Upgrade the shocks that losi puts out for them... Makes a huge difference!!
Would you say it’s too fast for the size? Or is it pretty controllable?
@@fmc7209 it's pretty good. I wouldnt say too fast
Just got the brushless one today. It's so dark when I get home from work so I put a work light in the front lawn and driveway. This truck is perfect! I ordered two batteries for it. I got a hour and a half out of the stock one. I may not need extras 😜
So the battery last 90 minutes?? Holy Crap!!
Bought one for my 5 year old son today for his birthday 🎉
What what brushed motor can I use inside the Mini T? I was looking into the dynamite taser 380 but don’t know if it will fit.
Does it come with a battery?
What’s the best servo to upgrade to from the junk sx107 Servo that it comes with?
Yes it well help the hobby Great Video
Seems to be an incredible value for $150 especially with a lipo!!
Is there anything new out that’s this small or smaller?
Will this power a Mylaps transponder?
My use case for this is probably going to be way different than most haha... I'm hoping to stick my GoPro Max on top of it and use it as a chase vehicle for my RC Drift Videos. With Horizon and Amain having these on sale for $100, I couldn't pass it up. Even if it can't support the weight of the camera, it looks like it'd be fun to drive around anyway.
All my LHS’s are sold out BUT they do have the limited edition for $250. I may have to snag one today!!! Thanks for a great video!!!
They’re supposed to be back in stock any time now. Saw a few shops post on IG that they had them back in stock yesterday which is why I put the video up. The LE kit does look pretty awesome. Enjoy! 👍
I ended up just using mine glad I bought it went back to lhs but another it was gone lol
RCDriver_Online thanks so much!!! I’ll be on the lookout! Can’t wait for the Maxx series to continue!!!!
RCDriver_Online just got 2 from my LHS!!!! They just got them in this morning. Thanks 🙏🏾!!!!
Nice great little rtr if I thought brushed was fine till I went brishless
Just got one and it's so sweet
me and my dad have the 40th anniversary and I have a brushless one and we mad a track in the backyard, still wish they had mini nats at rcm though
I put a brushless system in it that’s made for a 1/16 scale and on 3s it’s capable 50mph+! Insane!
Has it burned up on 3s or is it still at it with a everyday use of 3s
Peter Lowks 3s isn’t a everyday use mainly because it’s just so uncontrollable. Motor gets warm in 2s because of the 27 tooth pinion.
What should be best for a 4 year kid mini t or 1/16 slash 4x4??
Whats the about top speed out the box?
About 20 I think
I had the V1 years ago and, regrettably, sold it a while back...fast forward through college and my parents dropped off my old junk. Been reviving my Rustler, making it lipo/brushless ready. I hope to snag a mini-tv2.0 soon.
Unfortunately my xxx-s is going to sit on the shelf. Can't find parts for it these days.
I am gonna be saving up money for it lol
what’s the biggest mah battery you can fit in it..?
can you do a video on the slash 1/10 4x4 or the E-revo 1/16 4x4 soon
love your vids man!
Hey Great video! I am think about getting one of these for my daughter but after reading all the review out there I am thinking brushless is the way to go, for power and run time. Just wondering if you think that is wrong? Also is there a good place to pick up a used one?
What did you go with? Thinking the same for my daughter but wondering if brush is that way to go. Thinking maybe less speed she could learn better
It's an impulse buying for me. Went to hobby shop few hours ago looking for spare parts for my 1/8 buggy but found this little puppy sitting on the shelf.

Loved my version 1! I think I bought it when i was 13 back in 03 and still have it! I'll definitely have to get one of these 2.0's on order
Well I order one was kinda unsure bout it , I love this lil truck so fast and handles good really like it get bout 20/30 mins of run time such a fun rc 👍🏼
I am having problems with my mini 2.0 t. It always wants to do donuts. I've tried adjusting the steering but it's still doing donuts. Please help
How is the durability and fun factor?
what is the run time
Awesome video, I just picked one up today. I did not get to test it on the stock motor, I put the dynamite brushless combo in and it is amazing. I'm using a dx5c transmitter. I'll be making some videos on it shortly, much better quality than my old wl toys 959.
Did you use the stock receiver that came with the car or did you have to switch out to a compatible dsm receiver with your dx5c?
I am looking to buy a Mini-T 2.0 and a Mini E-Revo... Great video.
These look sweet to bad my lhs is sold out of literally everything. He is even sold out of nitro other than a few quarts.
These should be coming back in stock very soon. Lot’s of hobby stuff is getting sold out, something to do during these time.
RCDriver_Online ya even here same thing everywhere it seems ! 🇨🇦
Just ordered one of these on discount for $104.00 How easy is it to upgrade to the brushless motor? What else would I need to upgrade along with the brushless motor?
Friends is a micro t, he was mistaken. This one is half the size. DO THEY STILL SELL PARTS FOR THEM?
Is this car good for sand?
I had a Mini-T many years ago with a Beetle shell. Miss that little bugger a lot. Such a fun, if slightly fragile car until the necessary parts were replaced. Today, rather obsolete unless nationalism's your thing. Great footage RCDriver_Online as always.
On my list of ones to get. Built a mini track at my house and saving up to grab a couple!
Jealous, I want to build a backyard track, but don’t have the space.
So I just got mine two days ago and I already put the aluminum shocks front and rear I’m literally gonna buy all the aluminum upgrades 😂 I also put the brushless dynamite but im having trouble with it
Wats wrong with yours
they've got a brushless version... looks heaps quicker, did you find the speed of the brushed a bit lacking or ok?
Go with brushless, worth the extra 50
Just order me one hopeing it's a good idea
Love my losi mini 2.0 so I got 3 & anniversary edition
Anyone have issues with the stock servo breaking ?
how fast?
Wait remind me again why do you have the negative plugged into the negative on the battery
Hey should have the positive not the ground. So the + cant touch stuff. Its grounded now.
+-+ is the way nothing can touch it an its not grounded
I got the mini e revo its awesome too!
What’s the speed?
Definitely a nice little truggy. My LHS had them in stock late winter & I definitely thought about pulling the trigger for my son's March birthday but didn't. I will definitely grab him one now since I've seen your video whenever they come back in stock! Just received the INFRACTION while under quarantine. I'm also curious about those YELLOW SPOKE wheels you have on the one hanging up in the back? 🧐 Lol
Those are some Sweep Racing tires on my Infraction now. I shredded the stock tires. 😁
@@rcdriver oh nice! Well I'll be, I have the SWEEPS WHITE SPOKE GT8's on my Infraction currently ironically #greatminds 😁👍🏽❤
not a 28t, 47t
good vid, love the slomo shots!
Did you make that dual engined USA 1 that was featured in RC car actions Monster Trucks magazine back in 2001? If so, even if not, I'm still a big fan!
That was me. I still have the truck too. Thanks!
So I got a new 3.3 engine for my tmaxx just want to if you can help me out? So I switched the pull start to an ez start my battery is charged everytime my tmaxx starts up it just takes off remote not in hand then shuts off now my engine will not rev can you give me any pointers
One my favorite rcs , I use daily on break one has over 15hrs run time
Awesome!!
15 min or hours
Lol hours , I used to count the battery cycles and do a rough estimate so I probably had 30 packs ran through at that point
Its a good little rc, you could get alot more for your money but quality won't be the same
How much time does it take to charge
Great video as always Greg! I just got one as a father’s day present. I cannot wait for your follow up video with some of the upgrade parts and with the brushless system by Dynamite.
If you haven’t yet I would highly recommend the brushless system. I just put it on my mini b and it’s amazing and 10x faster
I'm getting one it looks fun
