However, the marbuchi motor does not use that much, I only have to put in 1000 amp?charge after 10 mins of full throttle driving on my Lipo 3200.
How many amps do you charge the 4200 sticks? My pack Peaks at around 4300 and 9.03V. I use a CE GFX turbo 35 at 6 amp and still no punch. I discharge at 30 amp to 0.9v and I only use the pack once each day.

Funny thing about your comment is that it replaces the TL01 B parts. Both the M03 and M04 cars use it, so why is it illegal again?

well to some that run the mini
its a class where you dont have to buy a lot of hop ups
but i know to the ppl that want to will try to make the mini go as fast as posable
with the best handling.
to me run it out of the box,put oil shocks on it and maybe a one way and go.
the cheap oil shocks not the $100.00 ones.

A spec mini class would be fun. Plastic shocks, radial tires, bearings, gear diff, silvercan motors, and 1500 batteries.

and lets say mod mini and spec mini.
i have seen the moded mini's go and they look cool.
dose any know if the R mini is out yet

Champ shows the price at 11700jpy, equates to about $99, and this was the amount of shipping quoted me on the M04 Beetle...
Shipping charge 4700Yen
Paypal charge 1014Yen
totalling 17414, or about $147.
the shipping charges really turn me off to Champ lately,
mainly just use them for the early release....
it will be pretty easy to use one of those discounts from Tower and get $20 off, so i think ill wait....

The secret with rc-champ is to make sure that you can spread the freight over a number of items. 2 M03R's isnt twice the freight so that helps..
And if I order a car kit (some sort of Mini of course!) then I'll usually add a heap of other stuff (hot ups, tyres, etc) in as well and they just chuck it all in the same box. Add that to the fact that Champs price is usually dirt cheap anyway, and it means that I'm still way in front.
