HorizonRC.com Preview: Losi Mini-Desert Truck

The Losi lineup continues to grow, and for good reason. With the recent releases of the 1/36-scale Micro-Desert Truck and the 1/10-scale Desert Truck, it only made sense to bridge the gap with a new mini-scale vehicle based upon this very popular Desert Truck platform. The 1/18-scale Mini-Desert truck builds upon the wildly successful Mini-T, but adds in its own flair and traits to make it a distinctively new vehicle. Not only should the performance be superb, but stylistically the Mini-Desert Truck is a home run. From the great looking body and roll cage, head- and taillight buckets, great looking wheels and tires and more, the Mini-Desert Truck is sure to bring a smile to anyones face.

i got one of these for Christmas and its a lot of fun. any tips for maintenance?

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@Thesnowleopard123 I'd say replace the bushings in the wheels and hubs with bearings, keep an eye on gear mesh and use a quality bushing lube on the motor's bushings and have some fun!

how long does the battery last??? until it runs out of power

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@IamDtvStudios Normally you should see between 8-12 minutes of runtime, depending on throttle usage and such.

How long does it take to charge

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@KTMBOY1112 About 60-90 minutes, depending on the condition of the battery and how discharged it is. You can upgrade to a charger that will charge in less time though.

I am very happy to be owner of a Mini LST2 and a Mini Desert Truck. Now I want something new, more powerful and brushless. I do not want to buy the E-Revo 1/16 I want a Losi.

What do we expect? By the end of the year I expect big surprises, I have the money ready. Better if not a RTR. I want a small 1/18 or 1/16.

Thanks, your MrMiniLosi

The only thing i dont like about the mini desert truck is that when it crashes the pieces to repair it cost alot of money. But i do recomend this rc i have one.
