but can someone give me a little info on what parts I need to upgrade my cooper as I have it for 13 years getting back into the hobby now. It is still stock with a mech controller and running great just very slow. Kind of want to turn it to a Rally mini cooper. What motor and ESC, tires, shocks?
thanks a lot.
Jase,
Tamiya made a M05-RA some time back, that was rally-based. If you go to tamiyausa.com and type in M05RA, I'm sure you should be able to pull up the parts list of what was used, ie: tires, shocks, etc.
I belive a set of normal TC shocks would work just fine, as they would give you the ride height you'd need., and the mini-rally block tires would be best (from the M05RA kit).
As for an ESC, LRP makes the Ai reverse ESC for brushed-motors like your mini probably has. TQ racing has them for around 45.00. LRP makes great stuff so you can't go wrong there.
Add a Suzuki Swift rally body, and you're set!
