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. Rich |

Check E-bay 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 |

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 Fast shipping and great customer service. And if "he" is selling a factory sealed NIB item how does "he" know its a broken truck? 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. | |

Not a bad little truck for the first runs. 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. Rich | |
