Was cruising through this guys website. He's selling Mini-T pro kits for $195. Dunno how much shipping is, but much easier to buy from an aussie guy rather than US ebay.

Perth Hobby Centre have Mini-t Pros on the shelf for that price. And if you go in the shop, no postage :)

omfg... that is the ugliest web site i have ever seen...

from everything i have heard, this guy is one of the best online vendors in australia for service and after sales service too.

what im really after though it an electric on road like a mini z etc

anyone know someone local who sells them?

Mini-z? Get intouch with azzachaz and get a direct clone, the iwaver for less than half the price.

Oh, and yeah, that site is shocking. It's been like that ever since I heard about him. Last two emails hadn't been responded to, but tonight he responded straight away....go figure.

He stocks revo parts, so he's my best mate now. Gonna order a crowdpleazer 2 body for 50bux and do it up with the same colour scheme (different pattern) as my old mini-t, just as a tribute. Some new skidplates (for $33) and maybe some arms will see it looking like new.

the skid plates are listed as "as new" so im not sure if they are new or not :S

the skid plate set is only $20 from rchobbies.com.su too.

give them a look for revo parts, they are so fking cheap. thats where i got that ez start assembly from.

much cheaper than mrc.

and the guy (fred) from rchobbies is also really helpful and all his stuff is express posted so it only took 2 days to get to me in the country so would be there next day for you if you got in before final mail etc.

:D

I agree with Justo, opAsx - Azzachaz stocks iWavers at great prices and hop up bits too - speaking from personal experience he has helped wherever possible with sorting my iWaver to how I wanted it - and now it kicks ASS 8)

I think Perth hobbies have quite a few mini-z's, not sure how much though. Mini-R's are only $89 inc radio!

opAsx - rchobbies are awesome! Got a response back within 5 min just then. the body I want wasn't there, but they corrected that straightaway and it's 5bux cheaper (and $1 more expensive to send). You just saved meabout 15bux. Cheers!

You can call Perth Hobbies on 93223376.

Last time i looked they had Mini-R's with mini cooper, HSV, and Pirtek Falcon bodies. They were definitely $89 when i was in there on saturday, they were $100 more the week before.

Fark me , ill call them tomorow unless they were selling minus radio gear .

KingBob

Definitely including radio. They weren't selling at the $200 mark so they had a price cut. Simple really.

They must have forgotten to update the website then. Trust me, in the shop, theres 2 big signs next to them saying "Super Special $89.95"
