good
some say this will work on the losi mini t, but it wont unless you get rid of the stock electronics, the mini t needs a 4 wire plug, this has three. do not try to even match the existing wire colors, it damaged the servo function, now i really need new electronics,
however if you consider how hard it is to find the original and crappy 4 wire servo for this car, i would say it is worth replacing your stock speed control/receiver box to use modern servos, and be able to upgrade your motor and use lipo without burning up the car.

Old, powerful, smooth, nearly indestructible, underrated example of a historic Penn Line model.
These are one of the first models produced by Penn line, a strong competitor in the late 40's and up. They where known for there there power, reliability, and detail within the ho scale hobby, setting the standards of a ho locomotive, and brought in more companies to compete with them in the ho gauge, such as Gilbert (American Flyer) being one of there closest rivals.
As for the locomotive, highly reliable, over powered for its size, hard to kill, a tank on 4 ho gauged brass wheels. I was able to repair one of these to working order, after being seized up as if it where exposed to the elements for some years. A vary good yard worker, will likely out stand most modern built small sized locomotives on the job. This is the strongest 4 wheeled switcher i ever seen.
However they tend to sell much higher then they should be, i have gotten both of mine within the 5-30 range, the 30$ one was found online in a good typically used condition, but they do tend to sell cheaper in train shows. Unless its near mint with its original box, i do not recommend spending in the 60-80$ range. These are small, vary simple locomotives, yet effective. There great power comes from only there heavy body, and the two quite large brass and plastic gears for a smooth run. Construction wise, there built to be cheap and affordable.
The chassis is constructed with a one piece die-cast base, a worm gear that spans the entire chassis underside, with a large gear on one end for the motor, the two wheels, a die-cast plate to hold the wheels and gear, and finally the simple frame constructed motor with large gear.
To wrap it up, while they are a high performer for there age, there also somewhat common and vary basic, so i don't see where the 60$+ price range is coming from (unless mint +box), keep en eye out for the 20-40$ range instead.

great quality for a great price!
I got this as a cheap replacement for my castle ESC that burned out.. literally... has no problem running the castle motor. Has a good powerful cooling fan, there are plenty of settings to customize for your racing needs. Most importantly (for me) is that i'm able to choose rather or not i want lipo cut off when ever i want to switch battery types, I ran into a few speed controls that you can't turn off lipo cut off, so when you try running any other battery type, it shuts down after a minute or less...
I'm actually amazed by what i got with the amount i spent, this can complete with the high end popular brands like castle, with half the price... or less! Give this ESC a try.
