This is my second design in the Mini class. Completed during saturday practice at Spanish Mini Nats 2011.

1200Kv outrunner motor/spool directly driving front wheels. Powerful enough to destroy Atomic universals for Kyosho Spada, but lack of torque lead to a fried motor on a twisty track.

I´ve installed a much torquey 900Kv and Kyosho universals to solve this...

The suspension setup feature 1/12 front springs plus silicone lubed O-rings. ARCA track got several bumpy sections where I can see that this setup lack of suspension travel.

I´ve modified this removing 1/12 springs and installing Traxxas 1/16 shocks as I did in other proyects. The shock becames longer when suspension compresses, and springs are inside (under the piston).
