I have seen one, but didn't get my hands on it. It looks kinda cool. Looks a little bigger then average compared to the others, but could just be my imagination.

Have a bud at another forum who picks one up this week and also has a Mini Quake. I expect a good comparison from him in a couple of weeks.

I have a MLST and 2 RC18T's and I have more fun jumping the MLST. It takes most jumps like it had wings. The extra ground clearance helps get thru the grass as well as the landings. I did add the sway bars, so it does handle the turns better. The only things I've replaced from normal bashing have been the bumper supports, playing with the throttle mid air tends to have that effect on them. 1 abnormal bash was my 8 year old ramming the basketball hoop at full speed. It tore the right front cntrl. arm off w/part of the diff. housing. On the upside my son learned that breaking my toys cost him money to fix them (about $14 at the local shop). I did go Li-Po for it which gives you a good 30 minutes of bashing.
Anyway it's well built, and handles most anything you can throw at it . Top speed is about 15mph, but Castle Creations Tech recommended their Mamba Performance package(5400 motor),so when I get that I'll update. I hope this helps some one.

Cool!
Yea, The Castle guys are good, and I'm a big fan of their stuff. I'd recomend it for anyone that has the $$ in a 1/18th scale.
Glad you hear ya like it. I really haven't heard much.
I'm drooling over the CEN Mini Madness here in the prize closet! It keep calling my name, to let it out and bash!

Sadly, I think I did. 
I have no idea how it got those scratches... and I think it only came with 3 tires! _________________ Brian(at)BigSquidRC.com http://www.BigSquidRC.com
