I'm preparing my 1/10 nitro AWD MINI for the Dragon's parking lot. Anyone one else interesed in bringing your toy down for some lawn chair activity? Any type/scale will do. Maybe bring your collectables to show off/swap/buy/sell? I have 10 four inch cones for a course layout Could use more...

I've heard from a little bird that a vendor will be making a prominant showing this year. This Toy fair could be part of that if I asked nicely...

 

I'm Still thinking about it

 

Is that body a Protoform/Proline? What chassis is that?

I would love to find a HPI Electric MINI RS4

I have a Tamiya M03L Front wheel drive Electric, Pix are in my galery

 

Don't get me started again by teasing me like this!

A few years ago, I spent several thousand dollars building one insane 4x4 racing truck (HPI Nitro MT). Had every hop-up part, custom titanium and carbon fiber crap, etc etc etc.

Then one day it dawned on me when buying a set of super awesome shocks, that it was costing as much to modify and work on this toy as it was to work on my real car!!!!!

 

I will throw in one or two of my HPI electric classic Minis for the trip to the dragon. I, too, am interested in what your nitro chassis and New MINI body shell is.

Oh Man do I wish I could find one of those. I never thought I would own a MINI back in 1992-1995

 

It's a Proline 200mm body and I should've gotten two when I had the chance as it is now discontinued The chassis is CEN CT4-R with a 1.5hp big block that's capable of toping 75mph

 

Ah that is what I thought. ProLine made the MCS version. Too bad they did not make the spolier. Heck even my Tamiya body doesn't have the spoiler that MIB has.

I am going to do up a new body for my MO3L. Attempting to paint it as a replica for MIB. Astro black will be a difficult color to replicate. I am going to do a paint chip of the following misting coat of Createx Ultramarine Blue backed with Pactra silver metal flake and then Parma Fas Black. If all works out I will be buying a new body from Tamiya. I also plan on adding lights and using Spazstix chrome instead of the Tamiya decals.

 

That's the idea...mine will be a mini Msfitoy

 

OK we have a 200 mm 4wd nitro "MINI",
I have a Tamiya F103L MINI. Any others?

 

What Dr. Diff said

 

If we were able to get enough we could make it an "un"officiail part of MotD

 

That would be nice. Let's do it anyway...I'm bringing my "mini" cones

 

Sounds exactly like someone else i know. He bought a MINI-T, added a Mamba, and went crazy after that. All titanium and carbon. Nothing in that car was how he bought it... 1000$ later, he moved onto the Pro RS4. lol.
The Mini-t hasn't moved in months, since it's been in pieces waiting for more hopups to come in I'd love to steal it and bring it down though. It's so much fun to do wheelies! I even painted the shell pink and made it look like a dodge ram.

 

I've got mini Sparky but I'm pretty sure I'd get my butt kicked.

 

We're not going to actually race each other...just have fun. Bring it

 

Thats an awsome photo!

Ive been thinking about a shot with the real mini driving around in the backround, and me holding a big radio control.

 

That is why I love my Long Antenna on MIB!


I dont mind a little casual non compeditive fun, but RCMIB and I will be up if anyone wants to race!

 

What's a RCMIB? I'll give you a run for fun

 

RCMIB= 1/10 scale Radio Controlled MINI In Black.

Was thinking a closed course fo 5 minutes. You know real RC Racing...

 

I've got ten 4" tall cones that we can set up an auto-X. Is your gas or electric? What make?

 

I'll bring my Tamiya classic electric Mini....

I love R/C but it is so addicting that I blow money on it like crazy and then it collects dust.....

So I kept the classic and got rid of everything else.

Meeester Custom AV...long time no talk
