Rims don't have a single crack or bend after countless crashes :flaming:
Anyone know where I can get a few sets of the 53223?? I really need to get some in the next 2 weeks. I have a big race I'm attending, and want them as an option. |

i know for the A's i run on asphalt, i stuffed a full uncut TO Medium insert in there, but with the treaded tires, it still acts like it needs more! and on a side note for you WI guys... has there been mention if the Swift body will be OK for the Novak race, or are we gonna stick with Coopers? Wes I have not talked to Scotty, but I would guess that any M03, M03M or M03L will be allowed, Swift bodies included. I will check and confirm. (In the past, he defers to me on Mini rules, so I imagine it will remain that way this year, and we're running Swifts now, so.....) |

About an hour ago George.....
It'll be up online tomorrow night (once the camera batteries are charged) along with the Active Hobby Mini as well. Then the baby Assassin early next week (there were a few bits missing from the kit so I cant finish it yet..) Tony |
got a new tamiya sport tuned motor for my m03m. Was wondering if there are any tips for this motor.? i'll be using a standard tamiya 20T pinion. There's another thread on silver can tips. Should i just follow the advice there? What are your guys opinions on running the motor in water?
thanks |

My question is what tire works best on carpet? thanks, wouter My Suzuki body is now finished (thanks Edwin...). Let the series begin! http://img161.imageshack.us/img161/6339/1gl8.jpghttp://img161.imageshack.us/img161/8875/2oo6.jpg |

tony in the rallye class what do you guys run 1/12 or 1/10
2wd or 4wd i have been looking on ebay for the past few months from time to time for a mini after checking out your site i have a real fire under my butt wanting a mini i really like the looks of the 1/12 mini thanks in adavnce what scale does everyone else run fwd rwd 2wd 4wd way to many post's in this thread to read to read in one night |
All Minis are 1/10th scale, that's just the way they are. The problem is that some Manufacturers did cars the same size as the Tamiya Minis, but then called them 12th scale.
Essentially they are all pretty much the same size though. But the Yokomo and X-Ray 4WD Minis are often called '12th scale Touring Cars' We prefer to think of them as just 4WD 1/10th scale Minis Our rally cars are FWD M03 Tamiyas. The only time we run the 4WD cars is at indoor oval racing. Tony |

Hey Tony, the HPI looks just like my old one I used to have :nod: Thanks for the shout out to, if I find anyother oddball items I'll send them to you.
