I had a blast running mini cooper with you guys yesterday! Was great to get the M-06 back out on the track since the Black Friday turkey shoot.
17.5 is a little lackluster as the speeds that I was able to get out of my Novak 17.5 SS pro powered mini are slower than a good, TCS legal silvercan mini.
Thanks Casey Castleman for helping me turn the timing up on the SS. I am used to the Ballistics and was not sure how to do it on SS motors. The timing helped, and by the time I left I was sitting second vs. the Banks', Casey, and Rod. I know that the Ballistic with greater flexibility in timing adjustments will be faster, but it will not fit the M-06 so I'm stuck with a five year old motor...
I'll be back out again soon to tire tune the mini. I was running the kit M-06 tires. I like them (S rear, kit cardboard front). S spec tires are going to be a chore to get the right ballance on the M-06

That was some great racing yesterday. I had a blast running mini cooper, me and Tom L finished with hundreths of a second between the two of us coming across the line at basically the same time side by side. Not sure about next week if we will be attending the C or the ECR at middle river. Either way, see you guys thursday for some mini cooper fun
and if anybody is interested in a good TC- http://www.rctech.net/forum/r-c-item...l#post10348509 if it sell local ill take $25 bucks off the price.

TCS Ready M05 for 17.5 Class
Here's the body I did for my M05 for the 17.5 Mini Cooper class for TCS. I'm running with the 17.5 Speed Passion. I'm not concerned with timing advance - I just need to get better at cleaner lines and tighter turns.

Ben,
Because it will never look the same after it is raced, I won't be using it until TCS
