It definitely seems like the economy is hitting the micro market hard. I had no use for my Mini-Inferno and tried to sell it, but there was no interest. I bought spares a-plenty for my Recoil...

I have been checking these out a little, also. They look really nice. The 1/12 scale would be the next step up from the 1/14 Recoil I own, but I am probably going to go for a nice 1/10 scale TC...

I have the HXT 4400 kv motor as well. It works great. I use the 24 tooth pinion and it barely gets hot on 3S! I can't imagine needing more speed. Are you required to use 2S in the races? I could...

Deans are the way to go. They are way easier to solder, they can handle almost anything, and they are easier to plug and unplug. I converted everything I have to them and I am glad I did.

Used Kyosho Dnano

Ever since I saw these come out, I have wanted one. The price is just too outrageous. $300! Kyosho needs to come down on their prices, or I will try to pick one up used. :)

+1 for the exorcist. I also liked Hellraiser. For shock factor, The Forgotten can't be beat. Watch it with someone who hasn't seen it before and see them jump. It is awesome!

Is 09 Mini-Inferno better?

It seems that the nitro Mini-Inferno is a much better car. Why would anyone get this when you could get a 09 Mini-Inferno with a bump starter on ebay for $325? :confused:
