Or you can just trim the connecter down. Red center black to he right. Right?

I trimmed my TEU-101BK and used it on AM, FM and 2.4 receivers and I've never had an issue with frying anything. It doesn't like spektrum, gets twitchy works for a bit then goes crazy again. I think it's not compatible but I don't think the battery cable has anything to do with it.

I use Spektrum receivers with no problem, it's all I have.

I don't remember if I had to trim the plug to fit but it works fine, great to have a basically free esc with the kit and keeps it all stock.

Same here. Think I had to trim the tab off though. No big deal.

Hey Guys,

The Tamiya Mini Cooper was my first Tamiya kit I ever built, and I still have it somewhere (been looking for it for a while now) and I'm thinking about just buying a couple of used Tamiya Minis to race.

I've just glanced at this thread, no way do I really have the time to read all of the thread. If I wanted to race the Tamiya Mini, would I have to have a certain chassis, like the M03, M04, or M05 or can you race with any of the chassis?

Mostly and off-road guy, but I'm slowly getting back into the hope and I noticed the Minis and people raced them which I didn't know there was a class to race them!

Any information would be very helpful!

Thanks

Dude,

Thank you for the link, I kept reading about TCS but I could never figure out what people where talking about.

Adding that one to my bookmarks. Looks like I might just have to get into some Tamiya Mini racing

I wish I could find my Mini from way back when . . . funny enough I know where the box and spare parts are but not the car itself
