Mini, Mini, Mini !!!!!

It just seems right........:weird:

Apologize to all. Was only replying to a ? on this thread. Since I do most of my racing with an M03 and my Genetic sits mainly on it's stand in the shop, I'm cool with ignoring any 4wd stuff on this thread.

I got no issue with discussions of 4WD cars, after all they still share the same dimensions and stuff, and hey - I've got 12 of the things... I just don't race em. :lol:

It's in Asia that these things are popular. Which explains the profusion of them suddenly becoming available.

I certainly would like to see a 'serious' FWD Mini built based on similar principles. I was hoping the Switch would be it, but sadly no.
Once again I hark back to the Yokomo YRF2. In Mini-size it'd be dynamite!

I was just watching the Reedy ROC on the internet and they interviewed Dale Epp, owner of Protoform and he said he is working on a body for the Tamyia mini!!!!!

Just got done ordering a buttload of bearings, some flourescent yellow & orange wheels, Sport Tuned Black Can, and my radio gear....:tire:

...I am now patiently sitting here like a good boy and waiting for the M05 to be released.:sneaky:

And we're sitting here waiting for our State Title meeting this coming weekend.

37 Minis entered... 10 more than the next biggest class - We rule. :nod:

Since it looks like any type of body will fit on the M05... here are some bodies that I wish were made for it.

Anybody else here got any ideas for bodies?:confused:

Mini Tires
 
I have found some old HPI Mini tires; they are slicks and part numbers are 14530 and 14533 super slick radials

Are they any good?

Dan 05-29-2009 03:02 PM

They're ok for bashing... The best HPI mini tires were the X-patterns.
