Sun 22nd - Qualifying and Finals
4 classes
Mini - the usual rules
Mini 4WD - Mini size chassis, but 4WD
Mini Open - Mini size chassis, FWD or RWD no holds barred.

woo mini nats. i hope you can arrange the classes in order to accommodate cross entries. or add a bigger gap in between races.
not like last year running back of fourth, swapping cars for people, as fast as i could so they could get the extra laps to warm up tyres.

Yeah - M06 is 2WD, so completely legal in Open.
Open is just that - hope ups, cut ups, re-do's, whatever you can come up with!
Only limitations are the Hobbywing motor and ESC 35A combo. The rest is upto you and your imagination.
I'm gonna have to raid my M01 parts bin and put together a beater and see how she goes! Nothing like Old School Cool!

We've got a few options to consider - whatever we go with will be simply a case of bolting on and knowing that it will work 100%.
The announcement will still be some time off though so that we can explore all options available to give everyone the best chance of racing on tires that everyone is happy with, will last the weekend, and are at the right price
