What an awesome idea. The original mission was very easy to drive and bloody strong. I deal beginners car. Any price on the chassis plate dave? I might be able to sell mine when it comes out and mine will have carbon and alloy upgrades

Yes it's an updated mission that is built as a budget racer.
It's been tested running 13.5 at a well known carpet track, and you might be surprised how close it got (in lap pace) when driven by an independent to his own full spec modern race car.

Ive been racing my old Axis at bedworth in the stock class (17.5) and its pretty competitive. Maybe a few tenths off the ultimate pace, but with me driving its more than capable. Being almost unbreakable is a big advantage indoors

I've just bought an Mi1 and am running it at my local Friday indoor meet. I've fitted a 5.3 lipo, gm 13.5 motor, LRP SPX, YB tyres. Having never raced a touring car before I am extremely happy with how easy this was to get used to. I copied one of the setups from the manual and I didnt see any need for adjustment all evening. I've kept the Lrp down to profile 3 ( i think) which allows me to concentrate on steering but gives a nice turbo kick on the straight. I made one error; additive to the whole of the front tyres, a bit too grippy. Car runs super smooth and quiet, very free, diffs have little resistance. I can see a point when I get better at driving it that it might benefit from some finer tuning. Even though it's classed as a budget chassis the total build was still 700 odd, so not the cheapest option there is.

I am guessing you haven't added an hop-ups to the car, and as you said it is easy enough to drive out of the box with a standard set-up. This is a going to be a great car for beginners as it is strong, reliable and easy to drive so they can start off with slow equipment and then as they get more confident with driving upgrade the equipment they use rather than having to add massive amount of hop-ups or be replacing massive amount of spares each week. Then when they are ready to move to the next step they can think about changing chassis. Yes there are probably cheaper options out there to start off which come a with a throw away speedo and motor but I always feel that ultimatley you end up spending more getting the chassis up to speed rather on spending the money on getting the equipment up to scratch. Just priced up a complete beginners racing package, with mi1, bodyshell, brushless, lipo, 2.4 system and charger for just over £400.00 which sounds a lot but in the grand scale of things these days is sod all compared to what the top people even at club level are running.

I agree totally. I did buy a much cheaper motor, speed controller combo which ended up having a faulty sensor wire. A club member offered me this setup which is perfect. I think if you spend unwisely it could put you off and you could soon lose interest. I can run this for a while, see if I outgrow the settings options on the Mi1 and save for a much higher spec chassis. In the meantime, it drifts well in our school hall!

This is a fantastic first car,
I picked mine up last week in kit form. I'm very impressed with the quality of all the parts. one issue though. the kit had one nut missing and one part incorrect but credit where credit's due Schumacher were more than happy to sort it very quickly good people! |

Also look up the Inix Racing combos on ebay - they work out around £55-60, and as far as I know, are non-boosted* *boost is also known as dynamic timing advance. It makes a brushless motor go much faster!
