Toon, every RC racing club in the UK should be mandated to run a Mini class!
Here's a first impression that may throw you off. Having raced touring cars I was first quite appalled at the amount of slop in the M03's steering. So I swapped ball joints and tightened up things as best as I could. Problem was, the car wouldn't track straight. It would veer to one side, but the slightest opposite trim would make it veer to the other side. Then I remembered the experience I had years ago with Tamiya's first front driver, the FF01. I went back to the sloppy steering and the car now tracks straight as an arrow! So don't let the wobbly front wheels fool you.
