today i was looking around on a main hobbies.com and i found team losi's limited edition mini-t. i started to read about it and for its amazing price of $139.99 you get Upgraded RX-280 Performance Motor, oil shock and stock shocks, 7.2V NiMH Battery Pack and Charger, and Rear Step-Pin and Paddle Tires!!! if you went and bought the old mini-t and put these upgrades on it the price would be around $200-$230! if you dont believe me heres a link.

You can find a stock regular edition mini-t for 99.99 at most online retailers but, the limited edition is well worth the extra 50.00 if you actually looking to get one

Yea i was looking at it last week. Its the exact same thing as my Losi mini-baja except its got the standard mini-t body instead of the dune buggy body. They both have the same rims/tires, motor, shocks, battery&charger, ESC, everything.

actually the mini-t and the and the baja have always practicaly been the same cars, really the only difference was the rims and tires that came with the kit.

This is true. There is no difference between the Mini Baja and the Limited Edition Mini T, besides the black truggy body vs the buggy body. The differences between the standard Mini T and the Limited Edition Mini T are these upgrades: NiMh battery and charger, transmitter batteries, separate ESC/Receiver package (opposed to the combination ESC/Receiver unit in the Mini T), metal bearings, slightly bigger tires (with bonus sand paddle tires) on copper rims, and oil filled shocks, RX-280 motor (Standard Mini Ts have the RS-280) 3 ban selectable Receiver/transmitter (no crystals). You'd actually save money getting a Limited Edition Mini T over purchasing the upgrades separately for a standard Mini T; however, I like the receiver/esc combo on the standard mini T as it's more durable than the Baja/Limited Edition Mini Ts ESC/receiver package. (if you're going to keep the electronics stock)

Yup they have been out for a while. I was looking at one at my LHS a few weeks back but then remembered my main goal of a Mini Revo VXL and sure enough I have one now :P. Still they are pretty sweet handle nicely too, got to drive one.

Be careful tho mini offroad cars can get "bogged down" easily! These seem ok tho but be careful! Used to have a Micro-T!
