In this riveting episode of LVC RC, our intrepid team takes on the challenge of testing the new mt12 plus against its predecessor, the regular mt12, and the Losi mini LMT. The regular mt12, a no-nonsense crawler based on the Team Associated cr12 platform, offers a modest speed of 12 mph, perfect for leisurely drives and light tricks. However, the mt12 plus, boasting a larger motor, disappointingly only manages to push the needle to 13 mph, leaving our team yearning for more power and thrill.
As our team puts these machines through their paces, they discover the mt12 series' penchant for wheelies, stoppies, and backflips, injecting a dose of adrenaline into their testing sessions. Yet, the mt12 plus encounters teething issues right out of the box, with a pulled suspension link and loose KC light covers marring its debut. Fragile components like the front bumper, steering knuckle, and rear drive shafts reveal themselves as Achilles' heels, threatening to dampen the excitement of the off-road adventures.
The pricing saga unfolds with perplexing discrepancies between the mt12 variants, raising eyebrows and questions about the value proposition of each model. While the red pickup version shines as a budget-friendly gem at $187, the monster van variant demands an additional $33 for reasons unbeknownst to our team. In the showdown against the Losi mini LMT, the mt12 holds its ground with comparable speeds and rugged performance, offering a compelling choice for enthusiasts seeking outdoor thrills. However, the mini LMT's indoor prowess and superior aftermarket support present a tantalizing alternative for those craving versatility and customization options.
