MIP gets "Hall of Fame" rating from Big Squid RC!

MIP Pro4mance Losi Ten SCTE Chassis Review Big Squid RC: Do you remember the era of the factory works bikes in motocross? The late 1970′s and early 1980′s? Well I do, and I lusted for a full on factory works bike back then, and today I lust after a full on factory works rc truck. Today we’ll be taking a look at the MIP Pro4mance pack for the Losi SCTE, a kit that might very well be capable of taking an already stellar off road machine to an unprecedented level, the level of a full on works machine. Does the MIP Pro4mance kit live up to those extremely optimistic expectations? Read on find out…

SUMMARY
Time To Bash – 8.0/10 -Everything bolts up as quickly as stock parts. However, replacing a chassis and all the other gear is going to take you several hours, this is no quick add-on.
Workability – 9.0/10 – All the MIP gear is of the highest quality, fits like a glove, and is remarkably well laid out, thus making everything easy to wrench on.
Car Show Rating – 8.0/10 – Everyone was dig’n the uber carbon fiber towers, but we were split on the white chassis. Some guys really liked the white, while others would rather have seen an anodized blue or gun metal look.
Bash-A-Bility – 10/10 -Absolutely nothing broke.
Fun Factor – 9/10 -Wow. The MIP set-up makes you feel like Superman out on the track, needless to say that is a LOT of fun. It handles so well you don’t want to stop driving it.
Handeling – 9.5/10 – You MUST drive one of these, it will open your eyes to just how good a 4wd short course truck can drive.
Value- 8/10 – The good stuff is never cheap, but what makes it a good value is that for $190 you end up with an incredible handling truck.
Big Squid Rating – 8.8/10 - Tentacles.. Yes, the MIP Pro4mance pack makes the Losi SCTE “factory works bike” good. If you want the best handling truck at the track, this is it.

That's is just the summary - Check out the full Big Squid RC review here.

RC Car Action Reports: "Lighten up your TEN-SCTE and achieve better balance with this new chassis and tuning kit from MIP"





Following MIPteam Matt Olson's TQ and Double A-Main Victory sweep at Top Gun Shootout's world debut of the new MIP Pro4mance Chassis and Tuning Pak on Losi TEN-SCTE, MIP engineers find high demand for this latest new product introduced from MIP's Racers Line. MIP Part Number 12200, designed for use with both Losi TEN-SCTe Rolling Chassis (LOSB0127) and Losi TEN-SCTe RTR Chassis (LOSB0128), is more than just a chassis replacement. It’s a performance package, tuned by the MIP bold engineering team, that converts the Losi SCTE into an MIP Pro4 Tuned Race Truck! This kit shaves off nearly 8 ounces of weight and rebalances the truck to give a stable smooth drive. All done with the re-engineered paintable chassis and cowling, shock towers, front springs and MIP Bypass1™ pistons and valves. Each component in the assembly is manufactured in America using US grade material.

More satisfied MIP customers....

"MIP are very nice, expensive but built very well and very very strong ... my opinion. I have center CVD's and front and back CVD's by them like them much more than traxxas CVD's"
-by Scooter

"I have to agree with you. I've used mip cvds on my past trucks and they're great....I've used mip cvds in other trucks and they rock.
Should I get the Spline cvds or the regular cvds?"
-by Nycatt

"Splines are their new design, alot less likely to disconnect if your using soft A arms such as RPM ones. Talked to the guys at Moore's(MIP) - the splines are the only ones they are making for the revo now the rest is just stock they had or retailers have."
-by Scooter

Thanks Racers!
