So far:
Pros-
Very responsive
Good suspension geometry
Range isn't terrible
Cons-
With the regular rear end and AA batteries, it's terribly slow
When turning the wheels, lock to lock, the front lower A arms wiggle on the metal rods that hold them in place. I can see that wearing out
Regular rear end doesn't have a differential, it's full time posi
I'm afraid to jump anything with it, because the front and rear slide into the main chassis, and lock in with 4 screws.
More to come this weekend.

Rear end breakdown:

370 size motor.

Rear gears. No differential...

Spur gear and gear that meshes up to the drive gear for the wheels...

Stock motor, compared to the Losi 370 Frenzy motor, found in the Mini LST. Same can size...

Plug connections for the motor...

Cut the plastic cover over the heat sink, I think it's better off in open air than being encased, especially because that Losi motor gets hot.

Losi aftermarket springs for the Mini T. Fits perfectly:

Losi spring spacers fit onto the shock body for adjustability:

Losi motor soldered up to the factory leads going to the plug

Stock spring on the right, aftermarket Losi spring on the left...much better
