wow never knew the Cup Racer was wreck

Yup I'm glad decided to go with the ABC Genetic. When the C.R. came out I was afraid I should have waited for it. All the ABC racers here in SoCal can't be wrong about it.

Second page! Lets bump it up.

Some nice work again there Jeff!

Ever wondered what your next Tamiya Mini might look like?

Like this....



These are spy shots of the Next Gen Mini Cooper (real one not r/c)

It's a few years away yet though.

Looks good to me but further from the original concept.

Ewwwww....




I wish they would go more retro on the design... back to the quirky original.

when changing to a ball diff do you have to change the out drives or will the
standard ones work?

Ball diff outdrives are a different length.

Assuming you've bought a complete ball diff, it will come with the correct ones.

Yea the splins on the stockers are longer. The out drive splins on the ball diffs are shorter

thanks for the reply guys, i was only given the diff itself so i will buy some correct out drives & give it a go, also any advice for a mini that the rear
slides around every time you back off

looks nice - have you tried driving that body yet?

Its the FIAT, right?

the Cup Racer isn't a wreck - its just all the things that guys have done to the TC3 to make them roll smoother...none of the IS needed, but if you want the .001 second advantage - you know what you need to do..



Besides, you can't compare the M03 and the Cup Racer - 2 different species

I think the Tamiya only beats the HPI when it comes to the "most bang for your buck".

I'd like to see how the Cup Racer stacks up against the ABC Genetic.

I'm still wondering why Tamiya chose to use the Mini Cooper body for the new M05... you'd think they'd want to showcase that the new M chassis can fit all kinds of bodies.

Anybody hear any rumblings or rumors about Tamiya releasing different bodies for the M05?

A current generation Si would be nice!

Can't get enough of the scathing reviews, wild predictions, outrageous claims and occasional fart joke that rc-mini is known and loved for? Then treat yourself to more of it..



rcmini is now on Twitter. Don't expect anything intelligent. Just bite-size chunks of whatever's on our mind at the time.

Oh and up-to-date race info if we're at a big meeting too!

Amazingly enough, 3 people are 'following' us already, before we even made the announcement! Wow...
