I've been waiting for Losi to get back into the mini market! I hope they make the mini sct, I still have mine, and my Bull Terrier loves chasing it through the house! Hopefully the battery in this fits the early cars, so they will be easier to get!
"Do you think this release will get a micro race scene going..." Are you serious with this nonsense? Tiny RC's are trending because the micro race scene is already going and has been for some time. What other scale has a series that let's people race at home against people from around the world? That's right micros. Look up Mini 96 and if you know about that already and the fact that the micro racing scene has already taken off then stop asking questions you already know the answer to and be more authentic. This micro is just an addition to a scale that's already proven to be successful and you can thank Kyosho for that, because they are the ones that got the micro race scene going. To answer your question, just like every other release, most will be bashed (used in the house) and about 30% will be raced. I also think it's great that Losi re-entered the micro market and strongly feel this release will attract more to the hobby than their recent NASCAR release.
The RC cars that got me into the hobby 15 years ago were the micro T and DT, I miss cutting up old gift cards to make custom length steering linkages to adjust the toe angle 😂
@@JPV331 seems like that’s the case for many! I took some time to go through my (very badly filmed) old Losi micro clips. So much nostalgia but the upgrades on the new b look awesome!
ITS FUCKING BACK HOLY SHIT. Imma relive my childhood memories. Had a Losi Micro T I had built up with the carbon fiber chassis, 10900kV brushless motor and 11.1V lipo. Slapped on the micro monster truck wheels and was hitting easily 50mph
what did break, as it is so light but with brushless I suppose pinions, spur gear, cvd's, bearings, or even shock tower breaking and needing carbon one, what else could break ? Thx.
@@rccarloverluxembourg718 the micro T doesn't exist anymore, nor do any of the upgrades. Everything broke. Even upgraded everything broke because the brushless motor was simply too much for the gearbox. The micro B who knows. I haven't touched an RC car in 10 years but may come back for this guy
@@FrozenByFire3 haven't touched any for 22 years, but bought 122 in the last 18 months, so a total of 225 now. Wow everything broke, wow. My tuned 50 mph Associated RC18T full alloy did one acceleration, pinion went away, my Losi Micro-T fully tuned 1 acceleration, Mamba motor axle broke but got new motor and never ran it :-)
You are comparing apples to oranges and there is a place for both. If you do own a Mini Z buggy then you know it's worth the price of admission and if you've been in RC awhile you would also know that Kyosho is a premium brand and they have always been on the pricey side. Losi has always been and I don't mean this in a negative manner, a blue collar brand.
I had two micro Ts back in the day. I had a fresh park skate ramp and me and my roommate would race those things with that big jump for them. It was so much fun.
I bought mine today. I got the yellow wheel one and tested it out in the store track and had a few bumps and hits, and encountered myself fixing it up in the store. The steering link pins came out of place and noticed a bit of turn sway on it. And managed to put the steering rack was a challenge to put back very tiny screws.
Yeeeei.... finally :D I'm still rockin' my micro HighRoller around the living room, fully hopped up, converted to brushless, but with the same crappy friction shocks and paper thin plastic steering "links"; hoping they release the whole line-up they had back in the day (T, sct, MT) and (at least) the shocks will fit on the older models.
Wow, oil filled shocks in this size is really cool! Great little Buggy over all 👍🏻 But not a revolution. I bought the 1:28 wl Toys 284161 Truggy for under 60 bucks last year. It has 4wd, open diffs, lights, runs around 20 mph and is really smooth to drive.
Losi may have discontinued their micros, but the class never died, so it can't return, because it never went anywhere. Losi's aren't the only micros in town, there is Kyosho (the original micro), Atomic, GL Racing, etc...
I generally don't like buggies but would take an oval /rallycross conversion kit in an instant. With this having what are basically SCX24 electronics, what are the odds that an SCX24 brushless system would fit? And yes, a tiny dirt track about the size of a standard residential deck would be fun. Even if it becomes a cement-like hard pack
There are much better options for this buggy than what is made for the SCX24. There are sensored brushless motors and ESC's out there for micros that are track/race proven. Check out Kenon Hobby. Check out GL Racing.
I will wait for the Micro-T, doesn't really have any advantages over my two kyosho mini-z buggies and I already have all the spare parts and upgrades for them. That out of the box speed is perfect 12-13 mph is around the same as the stock mini-z buggy and you can squeeze a bit more out of it on the top end if you swap the spur and pinion gears with the included ones.
I have a stock Kyosho buggy and I highly doubt it tops out at 12-13 mph with a lower turn motor and less powerful batteries. This is also going to drive a bit differently than the Kyosho due to it being RWD and it's slightly longer and wider. They are completely different animals, why not have both on the shelf and a T.
As long as the gears in the gearbox aren't soft plastic and it's used as intended I'm betting it holds up much better than the original micros and I think it's safe to say they will perform a lot better as well.
@senorpinchegringo7623 that's my feeling, after getting a brushless mini-t 2.0 I could tell the minis/micros have come a really long way..that thing is on rails out of the box!
The motor plate looks the same as the one used in the Mini's, except that it's smaller and it doesn't appear to come with additional pinions. I'm hoping Losi used the standard gear pitch on this thing, so we can use pinions that have already been made for this scale. As of now I haven't seen an adjustable motor plate released, so for now if you want to change gearing and it uses a standard micro gear pitch, you're going to need a dremel.
taking the little battery plug out is a big pain.. my question is. is it actually necessary to unplug the battery from the car while its off or charging? for the micro b
I live in a 600 sq ft apartment. Obviously all of that square footage is not available to use, so I can't tell you how big my track is other than it's longer than a Mini-96 set and it's no deeper than 12'. I taped out a course using whatever usable space left that I could see on the carpeted floor of my apartment. My lanes are mostly 17 inches wide, I know, narrow. I am currently running a MR-03 Evo 5600Kv and a currently stock MB-010 with no issues and I find it adequate. The Micro B is slightly longer and wider than the MB-010, but I don't think that's going to be an issue on my course. Yes of course I wish my track was bigger, but my suggestion is to make the most of what you have, you'll have a blast.

Got it
bought effin time, the micros where the best things they made. They better bring back a full lineup like the ole days.
I'm sure they'll release a Micro-T and pro line will make some bodies
@@finleymakee4850 that would be fire, and then all the aftermarket parts?! We gonna be livin' good!
@@cruisey9857 absolutely dude I've been waiting so long for an updated version
Losi responded to one of my comments and said "were working in it!"
The RC cars that got me into the hobby 15 years ago were the micro T and DT, I miss cutting up old gift cards to make custom length steering linkages to adjust the toe angle 😂
Awesome! 15 year old me is stoked right now. My first hobby grade rc is back and better!
Exact same feels for me!

oups mistake not Micro-T, I meant my Mini-T full alloy
"Watch this one!" That was a brutal tease. Never bought a car so fast in my life. And half the price of my Mini Z buggy!
@@jz64 stay in the closet.
@@jz64 lmao do you feel personally attacked by the word "micro"? Hit a little too close to home?

same INSTANT order lol, everything about my mini z buggy I hated ABSOLUTELY fixed XD
@@senorpinchegringo7623 why can't fruit be compared
Sold!! I was waiting for your review to drop after losi announced it 👍
Sooooo much fun! Kinda caught me off guard. I was expecting an “ok” experience and got “Awesome” instead.
@@rcdriverI was expecting to see the same! Extremely impressed.
Just ordered one. My first jump into this new hobby.
Welcome brother! But watch out. These things are addictive!
Perfect for the backyard track!
I remember getting a Mini 8 like 12 years ago and loved it. Im getting this for Christmas for sure
I think these will be awesome on carpet and also clay.
We can only hope for a Micro-T as well and the 1/24th rally car..favorite mini/micros of all time!
This video convinced me to go out and buy 2 of them. They're so much fun!
This is cool but the Micro T is what I really want. That's gonna be an instant purchase. Let's go Losi!
Definitely getting one. If they make a truggy version that would be awesome.
Just pre ordered one. Gonna build a little foam track for it just in time for winter
This is soo cool
So nice to see more focus on small scale and affordable!
I had two micro Ts back in the day. I had a fresh park skate ramp and me and my roommate would race those things with that big jump for them. It was so much fun.
Of course you love this (as expected - it is rad) - now I have to have one. Or two. This really does look like it's a whole ton of fun!
Very Rad
Hope they go full on and do a truggy and rally car as well! This is sweet!
Just got mine today, it’s absolutely perfect indoors for small jumps and prey for my terrier. Might get a second one!
A must have. And now I can buy extra sets of these oil shocks for my other 1/24 for sure for my rage treck
Great package and looks totally fun as is, but can't wait to start seeing these with brushless upgrades.
Looks good. And price is great.
That’s cool but I’m waiting for the Traxxas Mini Maxx coming out in November 😍👏🏻
what a little beauty!
Yeah, appreciate you sharing, I just used your link and order the silver one. I’ve got the 22 4.0.
I bought mine today. I got the yellow wheel one and tested it out in the store track and had a few bumps and hits, and encountered myself fixing it up in the store. The steering link pins came out of place and noticed a bit of turn sway on it. And managed to put the steering rack was a challenge to put back very tiny screws.
This is definitely going to be a race class
That little car moves. Looks like Losi has a winner.
me and my friend just bought these today and we are going to make a track in my house for them
Looks like its my next purchase. Unbeatable price too!!!
Awww so cute. I got to get myself one of these. I been looking a Arrma Typhon Grom but this is even better👌
Sweet little buggy
Can't wait for a micro T! Awesome vid btw! Definitely gettin one to mess around with
Really this is the perfect size for a racing buggy, I find that the spce needed for a 1/10 track quite a large area
Yeeeei.... finally :D
I'm still rockin' my micro HighRoller around the living room, fully hopped up, converted to brushless, but with the same crappy friction shocks and paper thin plastic steering "links"; hoping they release the whole line-up they had back in the day (T, sct, MT) and (at least) the shocks will fit on the older models.

Absolutely perfect for a basement or garage track. Pretty sure i'm selling my mini bs and ts.
I still have my losi micro crawler loved that thing back in the day
I’m so glad Losi brought back the micro line, looks like a blast!
Same here!
I was so bummed when they let the micro class die, but with these beauts the class returns
Losi may have discontinued their micros, but the class never died, so it can't return, because it never went anywhere. Losi's aren't the only micros in town, there is Kyosho (the original micro), Atomic, GL Racing, etc...
What a little ripper!

And yes, a tiny dirt track about the size of a standard residential deck would be fun. Even if it becomes a cement-like hard pack

@@BradWorona Better options out there, don't waste your time and money.
I've got my eye on Losi's 1/18 LMT for next year, but I might just snag one of these for the holidays.
Im definitely pre ordering mine. i can't wait. I hope they re-release the micro t too.
Hell yeah.
I bought two.
Thank you very much, now I need one. 😊
Yeah I loved my Micros wish I still had em. Gonna have to get a couple of these 😊
i cannot wait for a 2wd truggy, 2wd oval conversion, or a 4wd micro truck😏
Im going to hold out for the micro t but this is amazing. So glad they brought the micros back
Oh yeah that's awesome I'm ordering one 👍great review thanks 😎
Enjoy! Thank you!
About damn time. Bring back the
1/36 micro t line and 1/24 truggy, sct, rally
Yeah, looks like they nailed it and no way I can pass this up... Got one on preorder. *shakes fist* “damn you Losi!”😅
I still have my original Micro-T :) But it’s definitely a lot smaller than this new ‘micro’ lineup…
They HAVE to make a brushless version!
Great price. Awesome little turbo buggy
Deffo want one but, needs a retro shell
Man if love to have a indoor track like u I wish I could have one
Carisma gt24b contender, but on 2wd. Seems pretty good.
i hope the micro truggy returns it woud be so good on small tracks
Gonna need tweezers an watch makers eye loop magnifier
this would make a fun kit. sick of the lack of kits in rc.
I’d go blind trying to look At that little thing running laps😂😂😂😊
I see parts for a Micro T online, Is that coming out soon as well?
Yup im buying one
That’s pretty cool and not too bad on the price either
I still rip my brushless converted Micro SCT once in a while. 🤙🏼🏁
Fantastic!!
This is the fastest I’ve ever ordered a car after it was released
Imagine the aftermarket parts for this buggy, its about to blow up!
Oh absolutely!
I need one. Put a hdzero cam on it and let's go.
I will wait for the Micro-T, doesn't really have any advantages over my two kyosho mini-z buggies and I already have all the spare parts and upgrades for them.

Can’t wait to get mine but might hold out to see if there’s a micro T
oh man i want one . 😊👍
I'd like to see this on a micro indoor clay track
Is there a slipper clutch option??
That M BUGGY ISSSSS FASSSST
Ill get one🔥
Oh wow, I wonder how these hold up compared to the old micro t. I still have mine from years back
As long as the gears in the gearbox aren't soft plastic and it's used as intended I'm betting it holds up much better than the original micros and I think it's safe to say they will perform a lot better as well.
@senorpinchegringo7623 that's my feeling, after getting a brushless mini-t 2.0 I could tell the minis/micros have come a really long way..that thing is on rails out of the box!
Awesome.
Sorry, I am little late to the party on this. Great review and test. How long did take to charge the battery?
Did you get the new element echo with the new axles
I want one!
Now we need a micro-t.
So cool
We need a truggy. Also, the previous Losi micros were either 1/24 or 1/36.
Gotta get one I'm excited 99 bucks can't beat it
I wonder if the servo is from the 1/24 axial crawler
Please try to get some of the carisma rc 1/24th vehicles they're awesome and brushless
Wonder much are the tires
Aftermarket adjustable links and brushless system from furitek in 3...2...
wonder if the Proline 1/24 shocks fit this car?
A micros SCT would also be awesome
I'm sure it's coming
It looks like it has great acceleration. Will they have changeable pinions if you want to give it a hair more top end for tracks?
The motor plate looks the same as the one used in the Mini's, except that it's smaller and it doesn't appear to come with additional pinions. I'm hoping Losi used the standard gear pitch on this thing, so we can use pinions that have already been made for this scale.

Looks alot faster than 13mph!
14mph is very fast for this little speed 😈.
What kinda of square footage do ya think would make an adequate carpet track??
The carpet track I ran on was 20x50 and it seemed just right. But it could probably be fun in a 2-car garage are which is typically like 20x20.
I live in a 600 sq ft apartment. Obviously all of that square footage is not available to use, so I can't tell you how big my track is other than it's longer than a Mini-96 set and it's no deeper than 12'. I taped out a course using whatever usable space left that I could see on the carpeted floor of my apartment. My lanes are mostly 17 inches wide, I know, narrow. I am currently running a MR-03 Evo 5600Kv and a currently stock MB-010 with no issues and I find it adequate. The Micro B is slightly longer and wider than the MB-010, but I don't think that's going to be an issue on my course. Yes of course I wish my track was bigger, but my suggestion is to make the most of what you have, you'll have a blast.
How long does it take to charge the battery
I still have my brushless sct
