I cut the rear arms so I could move them back 3mm to match the wheelbase better.

Tires..I need tires for my Datsun 510. Otherwise I will hit the track with some glazed tires on Sunday. Even a pair for the rear would be better than what I got now. I would like to see how it works first, before purchasing.
The Rs4 mini is converted to rwd only.

I can't wait!

Chad I'll see if I can glue up a set for you to try. Let's clean your tires on Sunday and take the glaze off. I can help you.

Oops, already done. But I'm sure the Mamba Pro can run a brushed motor, so just a matter of getting one of those.

Is a fair amount of axial slop in all four wheels normal? I was thinking about shimming that out.

Shim is your friend.

Thats it. Its aficial. I have lost my mind. I am mini crazy since last week i have picked up a m03. Yesterday i ordered a new m05 plus i ordered all kinds of hop ups for my m06. Broke in a j johnson 540 motor in water. Taking brushless out of m06 and installing stock motor. Brushless would not keep up with stock motor. Can't wait for Sunday.

My new to me M02 came on Monday. I was studying the suspension but stopped because it made my head hurt so i did a little shimming and called it good. I found a JR Racing high speed "race" servo hiding in one of my nitro bashers so I threw that in. We'll see how it does on Sunday!

You are not the only one. I'm looking at M03, M05 and M04 on ebay. I can't wait to see you 240Z. I'm bring out my S15 this weekend. It should be fun.

That class would make good use of all the old F103s still out there. Put a GT front bumper on it and good to go!

Tamiya Mini's are RC's best kept secret. The best form of spec class racing there is. Even the gearing is limited. Just makes for awesome, close, competitive racing. We've been sold by marketing that kits have to be expensive to be fun. Simply isn't true.

Mini crazy? Not far behind you. Building my second M-06 now.

One SWB and one MWB.

I tell ya, it's fun to drive around the house. Amazingly neutral on the carpet. It fun time on the wood floors. I should be ready to go this week.

On a completely different note, why does this look like fun?

These Minis are lik rc crack. I bought the M06 and also ordered a M05. Can you guys give me a a good list of the must have hop-ups for the M05 and M06 ? I mean, I don't necessarily want to " Garvinize " my minis, but the ones that are must haves. Thanks guys.

Jake, ball diff, cvd and aluminum steering rack is the good starting point. That is about all I have on mine.
