Oh crap, neither have a bec.....
Ok so I've just got a Suzuki Swift only to find out that the included esc (and the one you have to use in the New Zealand mini class) does not have a bec. This would not usually be a problem but it turns out that the receiver in my new radio (MX3-G dss 2.4 ghz) doesn't have one either.
Also my new servo (an Airtronics 94758z) is supposed to be quite hungry on power and I've read a receiver pack is ideal.
Then add to that the rules only allow for 1500mah batteries and it becomes a case of.....does anyone else run a receiver battery in a M03 chassis and if so what do you use and where do you put it on/in the chassis?
Unfortunately the standard receiver pack included with the radio doesn't fit in the gap at the back.

The tamiya speedy has a built in BEC - there are seperate leads, one will have 2 wires and the other will have 3. the 2 wire one provides power for the servo/transponder.
If we were only allowed 1500mah batteries I would most certainly run a receiver pack I think.
Try the flat ones they run in the MTX4 and other gas cars, they would fit in between the halves of the rear part of the chassis.
Or have them change the rules to a sane battery capacity.

I'm building a #50746 CVA super mini shock set for my mini, replacing the brittle transparent blue one that broke. The instructions at the back of the pack shows to us a 1-hole piston. However, the rc-mini site says to follow instructions and use a 2-hole piston? I'm going to use the included colourless damper oil. So 1 or 2-hole is preferred for outdoor asphalt? No difference with the different springs?

Hey Guys,
Im having a few fine tuning problems with my mini and would like some advice. Running on asphalt track/netball courts. Track is pretty abrasive low traction. During practice before racing this weekend I was trying to set up on slicks all round. Once the tyres were warmed up the car has slight traction roll tendencies which id like to try and remedy. I'm running low on x patterns which work well and I don't really feel like buying a set of radials to double stuff every meet. Current set up is 35 wt oil all round, yellow springs rear, blue springs front. Running slight toe out on the front, 2' Toe in rear with Minimal ride height. When running X patterns on the the front and 32s or 36s on the rear its no problems running consistent laps except the front tyres are wearing excessively on the inside of the front left. Ive tried powers 36s all round. Spice 32s all round. A mixture of 36 front and 32 rear and vice versa with no luck. If i want to keep running x patterns i'll look at making myself a couple of those cheeky camber link adjusters I think. But im open to suggestions.
So, What to try next? Advice would be appreciated.
Also, would running one of these Zonda or 911 bodies with the rear wings make much difference to rear downforce and lap times?
Cheers Benzaah

Keep in mind we are running silver can motors, 2400mah batts, and 20t pinions.

i'd go with the spice 32's and try some thicker oil in the shocks. 50w is what i run. I had trouble traction rolling on the weekend but i ca'd the sidewalls and it fixed the problem. What weight are you running?
