Yup. I'll bring it to the track.
Ofcourse this is the source of info for all things mo3. Why go elsewhere?

Really cool mini rally
http://tuyosi.ath.cx/nic/minirally/minirally01e.html

That is realy col. What kind of tires are those, they look like rally blocks, but I didn't know they made any for the mini.

tamiyarcracer - the link I posted has a DYI to make those rally block tires for the mini. They even have a vid on rally races they have with the mini. Really cool looking.

tha tthing is set up! I really like them mud flaps, lol.

Looks like a killer!!!

Madda made a rally block tires for cooper just like that. He cut an glued the tires with CA.

This is the best looking mini I have ever seen !!!

Yep, just follow the instructions on the link in the japanese site for the rally block tires. Did 1 set for mine, its real simple to do and holds up pretty well.

And yes, that is one of the best looking mini body out there.

That is pretty cool alright. Too bad there's no offroad track near my area. But I wonder how many chassis this guy goes through. That shock tower easily cracks where you have the ball connectors. The impact in a jump is a sure breaker.

Very cool bodyshell! Wondering if anyone else does superdetailing on their minis? Any TCS Best of Show or concourse fans/ competitors?

Here is the best in show from last years Trackside race. Its not a Cooper but it is a very well detailed mini Alpha.

Is that Tamiay rally body available for sale anywhere? Also, does Tamiya sell an interior shell for the Rally cars?

Hi F1Larry - Cool. I think that's the Tamiya Eunos (Miata) Roadster.

Carl Giordano - The Rover Mini-Cooper is currently available without the rally gear. As to interiors, I think the original issue Monte Carlo Mini had one? (Tamiya M01). You might have to do some modifications to commercially available interior decks (shallow cockpit with a driver figure / navigator molded in place). I believe HPI and Parma has them. If you want something more detailed, you'll probably going to have to build one:

Try HPI bro!!!

Mke
is that a lexan body???

Hi racenut,
Yes, it is. Tamiya no. 50795 Rover Mini Cooper Racing bodyshell. It's not the 1/12th scale Tamiya static plastic kit although I wish I had that kit to take scale measurements off of! As it is, I'm just eyeballing everything from some crude photos that I managed to find on-line.
