Team Novak has just announced the Mongoose Crawler Micro Brushless System – 18.5T. It’s the first micro sensor-based system designed specifically for 1/18th scale rc rock crawling vehicles! It’s fully programmable with all the same features as the Novak GOAT system.
Time will only tell, but if it’s as good as the Novak GOAT, then sign me up! It’s a powerful 18.5 turn motor that fits in a 380 sized package. There are a ton of details in the press release which will be posted over in the NEW Product Forum for your reading enjoyment. This seems like a obvious upgrade for the Losi Mini Rock Crawler.

Speaking of indoor RC Racing, Strictly R/C also has some good mini rc racing happening in their basement this winter. They have recently remodeled their small scale track with 50×20 Ozite and using Calandra’s Click Track barriers. Wednesday Nights are the Big Race Night there, along with Sunday Afternoons. Check their site for practice times and fee’s.
For all you Micro fans out there, www.competition-rc.com has some new GQ Micro Touring Tires for you! They come
in four different shores to start with and are made of the finest exotic rubber making it the must have tire of all. They will start shipping on 1/12.
Happy Racing,
MICRO-MAN
Just a quick note, there is now an official Mini RC Forum over in our forums area. We used to get a pretty good Mini/Micro crowd around here, as well as doing a lot of videos and reviews in the 1/18th scale area and thought it might be a good idea to get something started with the coming of the 1/16th scale E-Revo and Slayer-EX in the near future! I’m sure people will want to discuss hop-up, motors and batteries, but also know that there are a ton of people really into the Mini/Micro scene! Heck, we have some of the top 1/18th scale drivers in the world already in our forum and posting news on our page, so it seemed only appropriate!
If you are into the Mini’s, make sure to head over to the new Mini RC Forum and check it out!
