Tamiya Mini Mo-3 front wheel drive FUN |
|
One of the cheapest ways to get started in R/C car racing is the MO-3 its great fun easy to drive and its quite strong too......
Here is mine with the Suzuki Swift shell on which is a middle wheel base and the second is of my Nissan Micra which is short wheel based , When you get the kit you get 3 different options on what lenth you want to run your car Short Middle and Long depending on what shell you fancy running
So much FUN and you can fit the 1/12th scale Mardave shells on the MO-3 too... these shells sell for £6 each so you can change the look of your car at a reasonable cost ......

The minis are bloody good fun off the tarmac. They aren't very fast but surprissing raceable. They do get some good air to but have the unsurprising tendendcy to nose dive.
Now who fancys a mini bash on saturday at eastbourne. Gotta be worth a laugh[/quote]
