I have been thinking about getting a mini. How much would it cost to get it competitive?

To be competitive in Mini you don't really need to spend much $$.

The Tamiya Suzuki Swift kit is a good start. I think Keith sells it for $150.00 comes with Tamiya ESC, Full bearings for the wheels. You will need bearings for the tranny.

Kit tires are great for indoor carpet racing.

The stock friction shocks are okay, but I would upgrade the shocks.

Other than that, you can be competitive with a stock mini. Ask Ken Inagaki.

He ran a stock M04 kit and finished second place at Big Chill.

hope to see you race mini's with us.

Can't wait for the next Race!!! W

1/12 Scale is huge this year.

The carpet is really dirty. We should vacum it next time race. Do we have a Vacum? I will come early and clean year up a bit if we can get one.

Hey Eddie,

I think that Apollo has a big bag of bulk servo savers. I'm pretty sure that's all that I was running on my car.
