What to do while your MINI is being built

Here are some pix of my 1/10 scale RC MINI In Black. It is a Tamiya M03L chassis, yes it is a 2004 and MIB is 2006 but you gotta use what they make! Look at that Fart Can! Note the MINICCI decal!

I got it here. It is a kit. Assembly and painting are required. It is front wheel drive, Just like our 1:1 MINIs. You need a radio, battery pack and charger. You can get links to those items from that same page. Interior is not included.

The interior I have is no longer being made. Just "Tint" the windows by painting them black or use scraps from 1:1 scale tint job.

Just like a 1:1 scale MINI you can hop it up change shocks, go to stickier tires, Stiffer lower springs, the list is here..

Maybe we could organize a RC MINI soccer game at 4th annual MINI's on the Dragon?

Yes it will be a pain! Here in Indy they don't use regular road salt, they use liquid salt! From the first snow untill spring you have salt. D&R has a touchless wash that is free to owners every Saturday, but it is 20 miles away... And that is interstate the whole way!
