I got two of the 1/6 scales.. They look good but have no range to speak of and get lots of interference.

I'm looking to install the body on another car, a 2 motor 4 wheel drive car from Radio shack. I've made the adapters for the wheels, when I get time the suspension and control arms are next.

Yup they're slow. But fun at a MINI gathering with the turn signals, horn etc.

After reading this thread I ordered one to take to AMVIV for some fun.

It sure has some interesting features, but as was mentioned in an earlier post the turning radius is terrible, I couldn't turn it around on roof of the parking garage, but people thought it was cool.

Mine even has some tiny M7 stickers .

Also I recently purchased a 1/10 one from here because of the looks

http://www.raidentech.com/8211-1-10-mini-cooper-s.html



http://www.raidentech.com/corcca.html

The appearence is great but like the 1/6th scale preformace has something to be desired.

Unlike the one Bad venge posted this isn't a old race model chassie with a Mini body. this is a 1 wheel rear wheel drive with soild Plastic wheels so its good for indoor on low pile carpet.. I did just notice a 1/20th scale model that have now for only 24.95 .. I may order one to increase my MINI collection

That one is sweet but I have an electric WRX that will be doing 50mph soon. So I wouldn't need another fast one. Especially a nitro one.
