Tamiya Morris Mini Cooper

[dantewallace]

This was a pretty nice kit with great fit and finish, downside.....very small parts and I found myself using tweezer's on some of the steps. It's been awhile since I've used this much BMF and I forgot how fun it is to use the stuff.

Considering my fondness for their 1/10 R/C Mini, I really need to buy one of those kits too. Great looking build!

I too love the Tamiya M chassis. I own the M01, 2, and 3 chassis and used to race them on weekends for about 6 years. I also participated in the mini class for Tamiya championship series. Excellent handling cars when they aren't top heavy and easily tuneable.

Sweet mini, very clean and nice paint.

I've got a 3 that currently has full bearings, Futaba 123 oz/in metal gear servo, full bearings, sticky HPI Mini RS4 tires, Tamiya red anodized oil filled sedan shocks, universal drive shafts, heavy diff grease, a Castle Sidewinder 1/4600kV 2 Pole combo juiced by an Orion 4000mAh 2s 25c pack and it is idioticly fast

Nice setup!! Are you running the old HPI X pattern tires? Those are the hot ticket but are extremely hard to find. Running brushless is insane in those!! For our class we actually had to stop running brushless motors because of epic traction rolls and a few guys even put their cars through the drywall overshooting the corners of the track hahahaah. We now run four hole silver can motors on 2 S lipo.

Great build , lots of nice detail work .

That foil work is so nice, especially the wheel arch trim. It really puts this build into the top-notch category.

The ones I have aren't that old, but it looks like they're gone again. Have you tried the True Ten/Cup Racer wheels? Been meaning to try them on mine, but haven't yet. Forgot to mention earlier, I also used the M-05's front uprights and steering knuckles. Car now has a smaller turning radius and feels like it corners better.

Very nice work on the 'Brick' , well done mate

[PappyD340]

NICE!!

[GeeBee]

Superb build .......

[Davewilly]

Very nice Mini!

[Zarana-X]

Very Nice! I've got two of these in my stash. Need to start on them, I got them both for $13 each, so its been awhile.

[dantewallace]

Yeah, you got those at a good price. They seem to be cheap in general. My kit was $17 and I always see them for under $20
