Could This Mini RC Buggy Be Too Fast? Losi Mini B Brushless RTR
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- Losi has been giving us some cool motorsports inspired scale RC’s lately, but their race inspired line just got this new Mini B Brushless found here: bit.ly/3Qnlt6k This was a missing link in the mini racing line-up and rather than slap a brushless system in and call it a day, they made some changes. Greg will go over these changes in today’s video and then take the buggy to RC Madness to see how it does on the big race track.

I love seeing losi go all in on the mini stuff! I think more companies need to follow suit in the 1/16 1/18 stuff. Cheaper way of getting into the hobby but still a blast!!!!
I do see what you mean but if we look at the prices of spares and upgrades, not cheap at all. It is such a shame. And a few other companies do offer alternatives. Team Associated do the Reflex 14B and FTX do very cheap alternatives with much cheaper parts but admittedly the quality isn't as good. I think Losi have missed a trick by not making parts and upgrades better value but these are still great to see and use.
we can only only hope Losi see sense from this and re release a micro T range.. The best rc truck they ever made!!
Im looking forward to seeing what stuff fits the mini T especially the swaybar kits
Wow, what a cracking little buggy! It looks good, runs well, it's way quicker than I was expecting, and seems to handle great too. And that track, very, very nice ;)
I don't know why the Mini 8 fell off in popularity. I feel like they could update that design and it would outsell the mini b.
Those were super fun! A longer chassis would have helped a lot. Wish they would have kept them going.
@@PSF_RC-PatSmageFilmsI have a CF chassis mini8 that hasn’t seen love in a love time. I’ve salvaged some parts off it for other projects, but I had a castle system in it that ripped.
Agreed! The mini 8 was so much better than the mini b.
They broke like none other. LC Racing emb14 is a mini 8ight killer. Had both.
Agreed on that they were a Blast i cant find parts now my mini 8 Truggy is in a box down my bed😅
Also, that ESC is programmable! I've found that tuning the punch down one to two steps helps out a *ton* with the throttle curve. Turning the brake down one step works really well, too 👌🏼
how do you tune it?
Got my mini b from the enfield shop.. great people! I’m just down the road in Springfield mass .. amazing to have such a great hobby shop so close.. support your local hobby shops!
Gotta soon be having a new crawler video so you can show off some more of that outstanding scenery ? Quality video btw. Thanks for what you do !
Always the best reviews in the business.
I love my Losi minis 😊 run with mainly 1/10 on an indoor Clay and it keeps up well
Consistency is key! Nice drivin’ 😎
I picked up a mini t 2.0 a while back at a pawn shop really cheap, it’s tons of fun! It’s the brushed version and I think it’s great as it is! It would be kind of nice to be just a little faster but the brushless isn’t for me, I’d rather have a 1/10 for going faster. I ended up getting the knobby tires from the brushless one and it made it much better for me since I only run it on dirt too though
Congratulations on your win! Love the your videos keep it up!
I’m going to order the roller with a furitek system soon. Can’t wait.
Got the mini t 2.0 brushless some month ago, a mini beast and really fun to play with.
It looks awesome Love my old mini losi’s I’m bashing mine so 1 run’s 6100kv and 4s with a custom stretched chassis and full steel gear set the other is pretty much stock just drilled and lightened
Just bought one cuz of this video thanks for the content man! Great footage
Got to be real, I had a 1/14 mini 8t for a while that was one of the first really fast rc cars I ever had. It was a learning experience for sure. I still have some brushless mini electronics, I should probably track down a kit verson to play with inside this winter.
Hopefully you’ll do another video! Love to see this and what other mods you may reccomend
I IITTERLY CALLED LAST NIGHT AND ASKED THEY GOT THEM OMG CANT WAIT
Great vid.. I have been in RC since 86 and a collector.. we should do lunch.. were neighbors 😊..
Let me know
I like my Mini B but i rarely use it as i dont have many places to run it. I bought a roller when it was on sale from HH and then bought a RTR body as i dont paint bodies. My Mini has a Castle Mamba Micro with an 8200kv.
I have the pro roller with the brushless setup. I can't say enough good things about it. I prefer this level of throttle challenge.
Another great video! Would you say the Mini-B is generally faster than the Mini-T? Or are they "easier" to get faster with due to the longer wheelbase? Or is it just driver preference?
Soooo so excited for this one! Will definitely be picking one or two up 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Love seeing the track action.
Hopefully we see a roller/kit version with some of the TLR option parts
needs some of the pro roller bits next
like a mini rocket . looks great fun 👍
Between this losi and the new redcat comp style crawler ' im not sure which one to get lol. I really like that redcat. 😉
I have a question. How does this version compare to the Roller kit version. Cus it seems this version has a lot of changes to the original and i cant tell if the roller has those same changes or if the roller follows the original design with a few upgraded parts.
12mm hex wheel holders ? or smaller?
So smooooootthhhhh.... great video Greg!
Great Video !! Would love to know what you think of the new front ribbed tires is the compound on the front tires the same as the new rear tires if so what is your thought of the front tires ? Any information would much be appropriated.....
I would have bought this over my mini T but that was over 2 years ago. Not sure why this wasn’t offered from the beginning
Quick question regarding the included charger as I have never had Spektrum batteries before.
I know that Spektrum batteries will, after a while, auto discharge from full, down to storage voltage (around 50%). But after doing a run with any of my other cars, I then charge my used batteries UP to that 50% storage voltage (as opposed to charging them up to 100%)
So my question is, any idea if there is a way to take such batteries up to storage charge and then stop? Or will I have to do some trial and error experimenting and learn to just turn off the charger after, say, 15 or 20 minutes.
Thanks to anyone who can help 👍
How’s it compare to the mini-t brushless? Looks amazing but is it worth the wait over picking up an in stock brushless T?
Picture this....A Mini B with a dual motor plate & 2 brushless 280 motors, wow
That is wicked fast!
What a cool car van you do a build serie of it?
This car is my first electric. Been running nitro for 30 years. What's the deal with the diff grease that you mentioned? Thanks for the video.
About time!
Does anybody know what pinion comes with the rtr brushless?
Would you be willing to do a speed test mini video short on the buggy to see it's top speed? To see how it compares in speed to the brushed version? Awesome video again. 🎉
Hmm possibly on my second channel. But I have rain in the forecast so it may take a few days.
@@rcdriver cool. Look forward to it. What's your other channel?
@@TheUnknown714RC Driver 2 😀
That is a fast moni!
Holy hell. U know what your doing! Lol
Alot of chassis smacking I like it I would it rather not have esc made inside the motor , Id rather want the stiffer springs and thicker oil in da shocks so it's not smacking so bad.
It comes with a base setup. You get to tune it however you like.
We have 3d printed body mouts for SC bodies!
Where did you get the brass plate for weight in the chassis ?
would be nice as a kit.
12mm Hex tire hex?
Dynamite 2 n 1, rebranded? No mention of the wing mount that always busted. I have a carbon mount wing that’s fully adjustable. LOSI needs to make better ball cups and wing mounts for this kit.
2 in 1 is basically the same, but shifted to a factory that uses better quality components. No mention of a broken wing mount because I’ve never broken one on any of my Mini B’s nor have I ever seen one broken at the track. Ball-cups still need some attention.
Do you know if the JRX2 wheels will fit the mini b?
We have the Pro Roller with brushless motors. We are really struggling with traction rolling on carpet. We have ride height as low as possible, and still rolls in every fast corner. Any suggestions?
First would be to back off on the dual
rate. On high grip tracks, more physical steering throw will trick you into using it and oversteering can cause too much roll in the corner. Next old school trick is to coat the outside of the front tires with CA. Just a thin coat. This will allow the tire to slide in the corner rather than grip as the face rolls. Be aware you’ll have to adjust your driving as it will feel like it’s under steering. Or you can try the swaybar sets too to reduce chassis roll in the corners.
@@rcdriver Awesome, thanks for the quick reply. We'll give those ideas a try!
Do you know what range of pinions will fit? Mainly the smallest that fits. About to buy two of them if I can slow em down enough.
Can’t find my small pinions but a friend thought you can go down to a 16T. You can also use the Throttle Limit switch on the radio to tame the speed.
Just curious how long does the battery last with this system?
ADD Some EXPO to your Throttle channel so that the power transition isn't so INSTANT, she wont flip over so quick.
The stock radio doesn't have Expo.
Thank you for another awesome video. We have a mini class here. This looks very promising. Any other changes would you recommend?
do you think its better than the brushed?
Is the power delivery any smoother than the dynamite 2 in 1?
Same feel as the Dynamite.
Of coarse after I buy a mini drag
NIIIIICE 👌🏻
Whats in the Box????
Does it have a slipper clutch?
Yup, revised too.
@@rcdriver sssswwweeet! I like the truggy version better personally, looks wise I'm talking, performance I cant really comment much I've been looking at them for about a year and always buy something else, I have some tires already for it that I ordered for another car but wouldnt clear the c hub so I'm thinking for Christmas I may treat myself
We race these at RCHQ in san antonio texas check us out
Sry losi i made mine brushless already.....
First?
The answer is yes. It’s too fast to race on a track. Should’ve been a 4000kv range unless that 6000 can be geared down enough? 40mph is way too much and driving it slower will make the electronics hot accelerating and decelerating with it overgeared.
Like my wife always tells her boyfriend there is no such thing as too fast.
