Got a chance to race mini the last couple of weeks. Along with my daughter. Her car was awful so ended up rebuilding a lot of the front end. Her tx has buttons right under her left hand that mess up all the settings. I've put tape over them for now.

I was in the bottom heat with her and an 8 year old girl and that was great just had to dodge them every now and again and watch the frustration of my kid not being able to get more than 20ft without crashing.

Marshalling the heat above mine the cars looked much faster than mine. Still silver can so I was thinking there might be an issue.

I got to race against those guys in the B final,avoided the first corner crash and led for 2 minutes. So can't really complain about speed. I ended up stealing second on the last corner, all of us within a second or so I think. Best race I've been in and a testament to a tight set of rules.

The TA03 diff with 1/8 balls seems to work really well.
