Tamiya mini cooper

I like running lwb. Nowadays unless you're a Mazda fan there aren't too many choices. Having a mini body available for sale is an option I cannot pass up. Just the time to paint it and trim the body.

Can't wait for summer season to start... Finally retiring the M03... maybe... 


Silver can motor, bullet motor connectors, and the infamous Tamiya battery connector.
Hey Tamiya, it's 2017. Can we bring the electrics into this century?

hey guys, what's the tallest mini tire? slick or treaded.

Honestly, the fact they've hung on for so long, means you can just swap parts anytime you need. Solderless installs is "nice".
.... now I hard wire everything except batteries. So I am not their target for that.

How about some 66mm mini dirt trucker tires?

I kinda want some. Can't say why.

What kind of rookie build is this BS???

If anyone else is looking to grab an M05 roller for this season, I just posted the woody chassis for sale here in the classified forum.

Does anyone have a setup for a M05 running outdoors asphalt on S-Grip tires. Track gets sprayed with some kind of sugar water. Thank you.

I forgot to note on the setup, I had 1.25 oz of lead in the hollow area behind the servo and my overall weight was 1364 grams. Also, I did not need to put any compound on the tires on race day.
The track was sticky, so I'm assuming they sprayed it with some sugar water or soda.
Hope this helps.
