I have a minix and an xmod. I like the xmod much much better. The stupid pinion gear on my minix keeps coming lose, I tried to fix it and it just got bound up, then fried my esc. And as far as being hobby grade, imo, none of these small little rc cars are hobby grade. They never seem to be as flexable and upgradable as a real hobby car thats of 1/8 or 1/10 scale. You want a real hobby car, go buy a mad force kit or something. I run my rustler far more than any of my micros. But hey, they are still fun arent they? And they look super cool sitting on my desk
