About the Mini-B
Suspension
Using the suspension geometry from the TLR 22 buggy, this Mini-B has all the adjustability you would expect to find in a performance buggy. Adjustable turnbuckles allow you to change your camber, front toe, and roll centers. The front and rear shocks are oil filled and threaded allowing you to make precise adjustments to each shock.
Chassis
The aluminum chassis is 1.5mm thick and looks identical to the chassis found on 1/10 scale 2WD buggies. The transmission uses a mid motor configuration creating better balance while also aiding in steering and traction.
Electronics
Powered by a brushed 280-sized 47T motor and HRZ 2-in-1 ESC/RX, this buggy has plenty of torque to get off the line and start ripping. A metal gear Spektrum SX107 steering servo delivers ample speed and torque for cornering. The included 650mah battery and charger ensure you can quickly get back into the action. The included transmitter comes with AA batteries to get you out and driving as quick as possible.

Good selection of hop-up parts!
Easy for modifying with brushless setup to get some real speed out of it.
I installed a Hobbywing 5200kv motor/ESC combo in mine & gives it much more punch than stock brushed motor but still controllable power. Also installed MIP slipper clutch, top gear shaft, cvd kit. Buggy drives beautifully & is just right in terms of power for small courses & driveways. I would recommend the mini-B with Hobbywing 5200kv over brushless mini-T. The stock controllers are so tiny & feel cheap so I picked up a dumborc x4 for about $40 & it's much better combo & within $15 of brushless mini T.
You will need a new receiver to match your radio.
In some situations, you really dont want to make it faster...
It depends. It is quite fast off the line.
I installed LOSI aluminum shocks...?...
HOT RACING front rear A-arms.?.
Some other parts. Mostly up front.
I noticed that much of the little slop in the steering can be remedied by making sure your bell cranks (2) are snug while allowing smooth movement.
Mine were both very loose. It took 1 and 1/2 turn on each bell crank to reduce the slop. Once done, the difference was dramatic.
But really, this is so well made, that driven responsibility, not beating the crap out of it, it really does not need upgrades. Unless you want more speed.
I upgraded simply because I like to work on them.
BTW- to adjust the Bell Cranks, you will need either a very thin 3mm or 4mm wrench...very thin, and a 1.5 mm allen hex tool.

- after replacing entire front end with aluminum parts, and rear end, the combined increase in weight is 30 grams over deleon plastic. Not much.
Out of box, top speed is turned down. It can be adjusted to run faster.
Put car on support (wheels free to spin).
Floor accelerator full throttle. Hold while pressing the throttle "plus" sign....listen carefully for beeping...your wheels should speed up as beeping continues then beeping stops and solid beeps means its reached final top speed. It made a significant difference.
Good products and
The delivery is fast.
I'll post a review when I have time.
