Hello,
After being into r/c for 6+ years, I got a mini for Christmas this year. It has been nothing but joy to run and put together (Except for the ball ends on the steering, which were replaced with RPM ones). The body is in the paint shop as of now and is being painted Sprint White with the rear windows blacked out to look like a delivery van, and some 1/18th bowties and HPI 5 spoke white wheels are on the way to complete the look I'm going for. Just wanted to drop by and say thanks to the guys at www.rc-mini.net and in this thread for the helpful hints as to what to get for it. So far I have installed a full set of Boca Bearings and a Yeah Racing 12T brushless combo is on the way. I'll post pictures tomorrow when the body is fully dried.
