R/C Tech Forums - Tamiya mini cooper

HotRod, its a lot of conversion the car is virtually reduced to a shell and would be nowhere near road legal. Unless you are a mini freak and really have a burning desire to do this, its not worth the effort.

If you are really looking for a neat conversion, Try the Toyota 4AG transverse turbocharged. For me I have stuck with the A+ series 1480cc normally aspirated.
What can I say, I'm an old school guy. :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile:

yeah, i know it won't be leagal, i want it for the track and just to show off. The fun part about projects like that is that you have stuff to do to them for years. I'm actually thinking of putting the fuel cell in the engine compartment and having the transmission a direct-drive to the rear axle :).

Hotrod,

You may have to use a shortened drive shaft or else the motor would end up in the cockpit. Anyways best of luck with the project.

BTW, I did find some info on the motor breakin.... water dip method. Ran it for 2.5 hrs. I was a bit hesitant at first because I was taught that one should never mix water with electricity. Additionally water corrodes metal. LOL. Anyways, sees to have worked fine. Motor is really kicking... I have not installed it yet but will do so and give it a run at the track this weekend.

X2.... I would also like to know. i have used some of the Tobee alloy upper links, and they have some bushings and spacers for the mounting, but i didnt see any way to use them with the stock (tcs legal!) links....

I think using the flanged tubes found normal under the c-hubs of Tourer with ti screws will do the job.
