[Rich Trujillo]

Hi All, Just wanted to pass along that Horizon is beginning to ship the Mini Rock Crawlers to dealers today. You should start to see them in shops or the vendors here by Wed next week.
Thanks again to all of you for the support and can't wait to see what you all do with these little crawlers.

[RockAddict75]

Check E-bay"thumbsup" I ordered mine this morning from hop-me-up, an ebay vendor. I would have rather thrown my $ to a crawling specific vendor, I.E. TCS, CKRC, RCP, ect. but they are taking care of pre-orders first.

Looks like a sweet little rig, I can't wait:ror:

[RCMFMaxxMan]

man I'm stoked like a fire place! But, I better get my 2.2 comp done or near done by the time these arrive at tammie's or else it could be seeing some neglect for a few weeks hahaha.

I have ordered countless parts from hop me up for my Mini LST2 and for other rc's that have came and went. I never had a problem with them"thumbsup" Fast shipping and great customer service. And if "he" is selling a factory sealed NIB item how does "he" know its a broken truck?:roll:

Badmouthing a good company (that has 99.8%+ feedback with a score of 65337 btw!)without specific examples is not cool, not cool at all.

I cant be the first non losi driver to get theirs can I?"thumbsup"

Not a bad little truck for the first runs. :lol: It does cool "hand stands" on steep down hills.

I have but one question though Rich, well 2.

Why did they strap it down in the box to the point they flatted the tires and on one corner it looks like it might have even warped the wheel?

More important, are they all inherently loud little gear boxes? all 3 at the local shop sounded about the same, just seems a little loud to me.

I am thinking a trip to total tear down is in order just to be safe. Had similar issues with my speed-t, they had the pinion mesh so tight it wasn't pretty at all.

Looks like you are the first one :) As far as the straping down issue, there was a lot of concern that they could come loose in the box during shipping. We've seen some boxes get tore up in transit, so better save than sorry. The tire will come back to ship after a little run time.

For some reason, no matter what we tried we could not get the MRC super quiet, we did try different materials that seemed quieter, but they would not hold up to the demands of crawling. Kind give and take type deal. We'll keep working on getting them quieter, but you gear box should hold up just fine.

Cool, so no need for an immediate tear down to see what the noise was, I figured I was safe since 3 of 3 in the shop sounded the same (only one left yest). I can live with noise for durability. It's looking like the weather may kill my plans for this weekend to put it on the rocks (stooopid gustav induced rain).:-(

Only other things I noted last night are typical RTR things: retorque screws, check pinion mesh, slipper way over tightened, etc.

It's propped up on a stand to let the flats go away (ooops, it's going with me to work today). My bigger concern is the warpage in one wheel that was pulled down way to hard (totaly flated tire). That might be a phone call to Chapmaign to get it swapped out.

So far so good. I just hope the drive shafts hold. I murdered the ones in my axial, so these are fair game. 8)

Thanks for a great product Rich, hope your review goes well next month.

[superelmer]

i got one today, in black. LHS has 'em for $209 each, one red and one blue left... Rob's RC Hobbies in garden grove, CA

[BJoe]

The HTU I work for just got them today or yesterday, I've already pulled one of the black trucks for myself and will be placing it on layaway friday!

The actual wheel is warped? thats weird. well for the tires how about trying a blow drier to heat up the tires a bit? maybe that will bring them back to shape. warm tires will give you better traction anyway haha "thumbsup"
