Later,
The mamba max would fit and yeah, you'd have to make a motor bracket to work with the 25 but that would be LOTS of work. Take a look at how the motor mounts in a Mini...it'd be a real pain in the hind-end and defeat the purpose of an easy to build, easy to run Mini.

There was a thread a while back about putting a 1/18 BL motor in a 1/12 scale, and someone dug up adapter plates that could be used. Not sure if those would be reasonable in the mini or not. This all kind of kills the spirit of the class, though.

I doubt they would work since the motor fits pretty tight going through the center of the body. It's not really worth messing with though. A black sport-tuned motor is more then enough anyway and the silvercan is still a blast.

Without a doubt is the most fun class to race and watch in Omaha! They had like 20 minis!!
I take it back, if I buy a Tamiya it will be because of Core.

In the unbiased world that I live in both. If I'm paying faster. If hes paying slower. I don't plan buying one any time soon. At least until its lipo brushless maybe? But thats a whole other thread. I'm gearing for some dirty racing.

Apparently nobody cool enough for Mini on Tuesdays when I normally race. :-( It's like 5 guys with foam sedans spread across 12 different classes, and the rubber tire guys.

You get 2 other guys to be there and send me a PM the day before and there will be a third. Of course I pretty much do nothing but play "road block".
