      All 3 are great, the Micro T has the edge for me as it & its hop ups are cheaper. Plus faster out of the box. The OL and Monster are still great fun though…

      i have experience with the monster z and i didnt like it, tooo fragile. the o/l on the other habd is a beast, i really like that 1. ive had a go at a few peeps micro t and they are real qik.

      depends what you want really, the o/l is a scale looking car while the micro t is a fun buggy.

      depends what style of indoor fun your looking for.

      i agree with TD, although the OL and Monster are made on an almost identical platform, the Monster was very fragile, and also prone to meshing issues over time. The Overland is alot of fun and has none of the Monsters drawbacks… If scale crawling and off-roading is your thing, go the Overland. If you like to spend alot of time with your wheels spinning in the air (join the club…!), go the Micro T. Plus, all the needed batteries come with the littlest Losi… check out its brother too, the Micro Baja… also wicked cool…

      micro baja? *drool*

      how fragile are the little buggies? not having a bit of body protecting the wheels is kinda scary… but if they are tough enough to take a full tilt hit then im very interested

      indoor offroad track? yes please

      indoor offroad track is on the way… a mate of mine and i had an accidental head on at top speed (mine with the Lipo battery in it), all that broke on mine was a rear hub, and his, a steering link. (spare links are supplied anyway. Cool.) With the price of replacement plastic parts generally coming in under $10, and easy to source, it really is a bargain. Z-beam; the gun-metal Baja looks particularly cool, with its chrome rims and narrow fronts… lol… the only thing i did’nt like about it was the TINY e-clips that hold the wheels on… i hate them at the best of times, but this small? Another $10 bucks and threaded axles with alloy nuts are yours…
