Default Axial Mini

I've been looking around everywhere. Does anyone know if Axial will come out with a mini to compete with the Losi MRC. I love the mini crawlers but with there only being one manufacture making 1:18 or 1:16 crawlers it is getting a little boring. I would like to see some more. I'm new to the hobby so I don't really know what the supply and demand is for any of the crawlers. Just wanted to see if there were any others that I'm missing.

as of right now, nope they don't plan on it, not enough call or backing to support it!

My boyfriend is getting me a 1/16 crawler off nitrorcx.com he got one of their 1/8 scales a bit ago and loves it. He did a lot of modifications in his. He has a few things he wants to do with mine to make it easier and better for me. This will be my first crawler so I went with something easy and not 300+

Why not??? The xr10 seems to be tearing up the rocks. I would love to see a MOA mini. (I know they would not be comp legal).
I just titled this axial mini because I thought they would be the most likely to make more crawlers. They already make 1.9 wheels and tires. I figured these guys could slap a mini together with scraps laying around. Lol.

I have a few of the nitro.com Exceed MaxStone16s (EMS). They are neat and cheap. But they are limited due to the lack of aftermarket. But I still like them. You just have to custom make pieces. Fun for me.

I like the Losi MRC, my wife has one.. But I would be all over a smaller scale Axial, either a crawler or scale rig..

I know they had planned on it when we originally did the rules for the 1.9 class, but a few years has now passed...

That is a bummer so much time has passed since the entertained the idea of a mini crawler. Makes me think it probably is not happening.

toyota, theres a MOA mini from japan. pretty cool, they sell it on RCmart.com

As for my personal thoughts on a axial mini, i personally think that may be a risk for axials bank, since the losi mini has already been out for quite awhile, so my personal thoughts would be that axial would have to take a huge risk to make a mini and then sell it.

personally, an Axial mini Scaler may be an option, as Axial makes incredible Scalers, and would not be such a big risk for axial to do since there arent any "mini" scalers.. unless your talking about the new micro from losi.
