Max's Mini

[max power]

During my daily browsing of Craigslist I found a Tamiya Mini Cooper, listed for $50:shock:. Needless to say, I bought it. This is the most fun car I have ever drove. Bodies a little beat, but the extras make up for it.

Came with:
Aftermarket shocks
kit shocks
3 different set of springs
Tamiya racing slicks on old style mini wheels
Stock wheels and tires
Modified motor
Rubber sealed bearings

Also discovered the joys of reverse donuts.

Sweet find. The driving characteristics of the M03 make it easily one of my favorite RC's. Nothing like understeer plus torquesteer on throttle and oversteer with torquesteer in the opposite direction off throttle!

We used to race these over at the track Italian Job style:

Mine's the Red Baron. "thumbsup"

The plan is to pick up an older mini body eventually. For now I'll just beat on this one.
