I got this one from hobbytron. Plug and play. Fast enough that my driveway is a tad too small and I usually end up on the street. Good enough turning radius that I can usually hang figure 8s at full tilt and just barely hang on!

I have the classic mini.

 

thanks for all the responses!

 

We run a small class of these at our local RC club and they are a blast. Here's a picture of mine and my friends. Mine is the #25 car.

 

There's a zillion sites on the Net selling all types of R/C MINIs. Do a google search and you can find them.

There's thumb size, 1/43 size, cabrios, hard tops, etc.

I got the Brando 1/43rd size, which is about 3.8" long. Works really well and matches my real MINI. Can't get better than that.
