TJ: Try to push for controlled tyres for TCS.

Found a few more Mini bodies that looks good.

The Northcraft ones are good, but the new Chevron ones kick arse! Take a look at these puppies...

got to agree! they look cool

Thos look awesome, are they both the same type of body?

Same body, just painted differently. We figured they looked sorta like mid 80's rally cars (Metro 6R4 etc) so we painted them with that sorta theme in mind. Mine is the Rothmans car, Tim Keiller owns the Martini one and Tony Parreiro owns the Alitalia one. They look great dont they.

Here's all THREE of em!

In case you other Mini drivers didn't see it on the other thread

Where do you get these bodies from ? Cannon, that Suzi looks great too !

Rainbow Ten, where else....

That is the new Tamiya M03-M kit with its standard body ... the Suzuki Swift

I think mine weighs 1290 i might re-weigh...

100% standard. with transponder and a cheap arse plastic (light) servo..

I'll re-check

Don't fret too much about lightening your mini.. We've had them at around 1200 or so and it it makes no difference. If anything it makes them worse! We have a theory that the little bit of extra weight helps stop some of the wheelspin that Minis tend to suffer so much from.
Getting your electronics down as low as possible (i.e. inside the rear chassis halves) and getting the whole thing down on the ground as close as you can are the two most important things of all.

wot about a rear wing????

No rear wing for the Mini in the CC event at SMA. Before everyone has a go, The Suzuki has a rear wing. It is only level with the roof and has no lip so no actual downforce. Good old Tamiya, it looks good but has no actual advantage except for looking good

We actually think that the big wings on the Chevron shells slow the car down even! But they look so horn that we leave them on...
