I got my Mini-x today!!! hurrah!
ok, here's what I think about the mini-x so far (after about an hour of driving and a couple hours of tinkering):
First off, the way the batteries are mounted into the body sucks. I probably spent 20 minutes trying to get the stupid little screws into the stupid little posts with my stupid little screwdriver.
Another gripe... the flourescent/neon butt-ugly paint job that came with the body. The problem... it's a but-ugly flourescent neon body.
ok... that's about it for the gripes.
I really enjoyed driving the mini-x... the handling on it is unbelievable... A bit slow compared to my tricked out mini-z... but it's already faster than a stock one. the generic little "radial tires" held up well on the parking lot pavement. I also like the fact that the set-up time for the car was minimal... cutting out the body (which I note is conveniently, and ingeniously also the packaging for the car) and plugging the crystal into my Perfex.
I can see the potential for further power/speed and as is it is already a fun to drive car. I may have to get some hop-ups soon... but that is currently going to have to take a back seat to my Micro RS4 that I still have to finish building.
I gotta go now, I have to go play with my new mini-x before I go to bed.
I'll give another report in a few days... after the excitement of a new toy wears off!
