Mine is coming, got the MR2 for it. I shoulda ordered another of those Turnigy 21.5 for you.

We need a little energy on Sundays, Cavanah has answered. Booyah! Study up on Die Antwoord, I wanna see some "Ninja" style!

I was looking at those 21.5s. For the price, I think I'd like to have one for my Goose, maybe even the F1s.

I'm staying with silver can. Get your mini ready for this weekend. It is going to be fun.

Dang, that was f-ing fast. Ordered it Friday from RCMushroom. I guess the extra $13 for faster shipping was worth it.

I might have to put the rear spoiler on the MR2! Mine is set, just needs a new set of tires put on.

Wow, you are going to have more bling than me. Slap that thing together quick.

Definitely won't have motor/ESC, maybe Stan will lend me his brushed stuff out of his kit.

Before I glue the tires, did I get the right ones? I got regular 60D for the front and 60D S-Grip for the rear? (would have been a good question to ask before I ordered them ) The rims are almost exactly like the Enki ones I had on the real MR2!

Oh, and no body yet.

Neat kit, amazing what Tamiya can do with a parts tree.

Those are the right tires. I'm sure Stan will have no trouble lending the stock esc and motor. I will be sporting a silvia s15 soon. S15 vs MR2 will be pretty cool.

I forgot to get foam inserts. I stuffed some regular sedan inserts in. They almost don't seem "puffy" enough. I won't glue until I get an expert second opinion.

ABC says the MR2 is 210mm long. I'm building the mini to the short 205mm. Hopefully that will work.

Well, it's running, now for paint.

I cut the rear arms so I could move them back 3mm to match the wheelbase better.
