With the wide variety of hot motors and batteries out for the Mini-T, the drive train is sure to suffer. Luckily the little dude has a pretty simple drive line, a spur/slipper, a transmission, a differential and finally axles to the drive wheels. Simple is good as that means fewer parts to upgrade and less cash out of pocket! The stock diff in the Mini-T features some super light duty plastic gears, also known as a grenade with the pin pulled; especially if you are going to channel some more RPM’s through your M-T.

As you are probably aware, about a year ago, we built a 60+MPH Mini-T (Project Rocket Ship). It is powered by a Mamba 8000kv brushless motor and 3-cell LiPo batteries, pretty much the fastest, most powerful combo you can slam into a 1/18 scale truck. Lightning fast does not even begin to describe this truck. It is virtually impossible to drive due to the incredible speeds it obtains. Heck, it eats nitro powered monster trucks for breakfast! It is pretty hilarious to see a little 1/18 scale truck blow the doors off of a nitro breathing T-Maxx or Savage.

Throughout our Rocket Ship project and even to this day, we have relied upon a Racer’s Edge Mini-T differential to keep the rear wheels spinning. It has not failed us once. The performance level is top notch and it has never even made a bad noise through at least 50 LiPo packs of dirt throwing, street burning fun. It does an excellent job of keeping the truck driving straight and is a huge improvement compared to the stock unit when it comes to getting the power to the ground. It is a ball type differential and is adjustable. So you can fine tune it to your driving style or conditions.

So you want to pull wheelie's at 40+MPH? No problem! The Racer’s Edge diff handles that and much more. The out drives are lightened and Racer's Edge tells us that the entire unit is 50% lighter than other diff's on the market. Lighter weight = lower rotating mass, faster launches and longer battery life.

There are a few diff's on the market right now however we liked the RE model as it comes out of the package fully built and ready for action. This seemed very appealing to us as a time saver and not having to deal with the hassle of diff balls the size of fly poop! Another bonus: this diff sells for $20, the same price as others that need to be assembled! Duh? What would you buy? Do you want to waste time building a diff or do you want to Beat Your Truck?

Whether you are slamming a Mamba in your Mini-T or just slamming around the backyard, a diff upgrade is a great idea. Keep it simple. Get an adjustable, pre-built unit that can handle anything you can toss at it. The Racer’s Edge differential is up to the job.
