It's a fun truck, but you should be reasonable with your expectations. I put a 3s battery in it and changed the wheels and tires to those for a Tamiya Lunchbox. They look better. Motor was getting hot, and I think it was because the pinion mesh was to tight. Something to look out for.
I really do like this little truck. It's the perfect size for a road trip or an occasion where you might not have room for one of the larger scale trucks. It's got plenty of zip for its size.. Only had one issue with the radio system, but the Amain staff took care of that .Can't say enough good things about their support.
Absolutely the most fun little truck I have ever owned. Looks and drives like a real monster truck. As with any rtr the gearing and battery suck out of the box. I'm running in medium to longer grass the motor needs to go up a pinion size or 2 to run in the right temp range. The included battery lasts 10 to 12 min. Gets up on 2 wheels in corners occasionally jumps well and level whips donuts with the best of them. Absolute blast. Owned for a 2 weeks, it get run atleast twice a day for our little dog. Bounces off curbs, jumps, had no issue hitting my large rock fire pit. No breakage yet.
Reviewers generally describe the MT12 Mini as a fun, compact monster truck that performs well for its size, with praise for its jumps, wheelies and durability in early use. Battery life is reported as short, around 10 to 12 minutes with the included pack. One reviewer found the gearing and motor temperature needed adjustment in longer grass, and another reported motor heat attributed to tight pinion mesh after upgrading to a 3S battery and different tyres. One reviewer had a radio issue that was resolved by support. Opinions on value are mixed, with some reviewers advising measured expectations.
