Where are you located? If you ever come by our neck of the woods, our local club races usually have pretty good turnouts. I really think Mini is a good way for beginners to start their RC racing experience, intermediate guys like myself to have a “fun” class and also advance drivers to show us how much more we have to learn!



No, there are theatrics at our local clubs too where grown men whine and pout like little children when they think they got "hacked" or breakdown. Quite entertaining actually.

Well you have to be a pretty good driver to be consistently near the top in the classes you run. Especially when you run an unmaintained old school m03.

Thanks for the invite to your clubs. I almost made it to your neck of the woods last summer. Weekend visits are out though since it's a 1300 mi drive from the west coast. I'll make it someday.
