Tamiya mini cooper

If any of you are running the mo4, I finally completed the final adjustments.
I have tha alfa body and it fits perfectly. the cars handles very nice, stabe and turns in good. because it is rear drive I probably could have gone with a standard steering servo but will use to the hi torq servo for now. I will test it out at the tamiya track this weekend.
It is very stable and has good speed w/ the stock johnson motor. I hope to match it up w/ some mo3's
I was very good about freeing up the ball bearings, stiffining up the front shocks, tires and took a little out of the stearing. No sway bars yet. may not need them.

Found this site while looking around for a body. They have quite a few 12th scales that would fit a mini.

For this next one you could add a M03M and M03L center spacer to get the wheelbase right.

New screws, lockwashers, nothing seeems to work. Have verified that there is no contact between the servo saver (Kimbrough mid-size #201) and chassis. Also the end points are such that no contact is made between chassis and front uprights (Tamiya aluminum #53523).
