I heard these were for sale at SAMS club- is it true? Might have to go out there and get one-
Of course- got to paint it blue/white top with aero black grille. Add springs and a rear swaybar.
Maybe we can go to the dealer and set up a minature mock up of Hawaii Raceway park and then-
We can RACE- two lanes at a time. Point to the left to pass. Watch the flags. Turn upside down and you are out!
YEEEOOUUUU!

Kohu'ula,

After playing with my MINI yesterday, it's pretty slow so I'll probably lose any race I get into. However, the MINI is so LARGE, it could probably squash any other MINI. I guess it's like the Hulk, when it's happy, it's normal sized. When angry it grows to 1:6 scale!

The nice part of it is it has working headlights, horn, I can rev the motor and it even has a remote lock/ulock feature complete w/ chirp sound.

Kohu and beastmaster-
run a slalom or obstacle race with points deducted for hitting barriers so that it is not speed that wins but driver skill! Like the real track. Put out some paper cups to serve as cones and mark a course to follow. one point deducted for hitting or squashing a "cone".

Beastmaster- if you mini is slow it might need a charge up- try new batteries. Maybe you were playing with it too long or left the lights on or something. And don't use those cheapie batteries when only the ultracoppertops will do.

My 1:6 scale car is RWD and runs on a NiCad battery pack. Maybe I'll have to take the vehicle apart so I can give the motor a power shot!

Slalom won't work for this car it's too BIG! The real world difference would be like Randy driving a MINI and me driving a Ford Excursion through a slalom course!

If so then we need classes for the difference in scale so a MINI class for Randy and a JUMBO-mini class for 1:6.
Now is everyone happy- or what????
Classes! Just like SCCA. Now we need minature people to watch the races. 1:6 scale- that is barbie sized right?
Anybody got some barbie we can borrow? Now I wish I had a pink MINI.

This thing is bigger than Barbie size. Well if I extrapolate the 1:6 scale, the MINI is @ 2 feet in length!

beastmaster-
If your RC mini is bigger than barbie size then you can almost haul around small humans.
Is that why you are called the beastmaster? Did you name your RC mini yet?
How about microbeast or tinybeast?
