Re: Moving to Columbus Georgia Area..looking for help (newbie)

I feel your pain the Losi Mini trucks SUCK. I have the Mini-LST and it
had many many faults front to back. 
  
Im not totally up-to-speed on current mini's but in the past week have
regained interest (lost interest due to the horrible m-lst) and reviewed
my back issues of RCCA. 

Im going to address NITRO 

  OFNA looks to have a nice mini NITRO TRUGGY but it costs a bit. Its in
the same price range as a very good 1/10 MONSTER TRUCK Associated
Electronics MGT 3.0 oh $330 or so Im favoring the MGT right now. Ive
owned a number of AE vehicles all have been excellent. 

CEN RACING has MG16 in the $200 spot but I have not read up on the
good/bad points to it yet. They also have a 1/10 4wd nitro MT in the
$220 range that scoots like 40mph. Lately have been hearing good things
overall about them . I saw them demo at a hobby show and the BIG trucks
took quite a few hard hits with no harm. How that translates to their
mini stuff I dont know.
If my HobbyTown stocked Cen products I wouldnt mind trying one out.

I read up on S****TWERKS CHAOS a mini but it seems to have gear issues, I
want no part of that again.

  There are other less know brands out there that seem interesting but
getting parts say a year, two years from now could be difficult. I keep
my vehicles a while so this is im****tant to me.
