I love the stickers.......................................the Oswestry Car club ones. LOL

Looks really good mate, makes me wonder if we should try to convince Chazz to do an X-Factory Mini X6 or Mini X-60 based on a Mini-T but with the motor in the right place :woot:

John,

I believe its a Phat Bodies Dufus shell (made by Simon [mrspeedy] and Dan Osborne [danosborne991])

I think you can also use a Tamiya Desert Gator? But that needs confirming.

Ash, you've done a sh#t hot job of that car fella, well done :)

I did originally make a mini buggy which was mid motored like an x6 but it was very difficult due to the size of the cells as they are a little bit out of preportion so there a bit big but im sure with a good lipo it would be good.

As C0sie said its the Phat dufus shell.

once you changed to foams tonight it performed really well ash, you did well to qualify second after your first run where you had virtually no steering at all lol .:)

Yea i ran it last night. It understeered with rubber on the front so i added 14 grams of weight to the from of the car and changed to foams all round. It was much better once the rubber tyres had warmed up a little it did perform a bit better but im sure with the weight in the front the rubber tyres would work well depending on the carpet to wooden floor ratio. I should of won the final but the wooses wouldnt go up the wall of death so i lost a second or two a lap.


OMG ive just had day jar voo.

Thanks for the kind words having the bug in the wing is a pain so i mgiht get a MRT pt for the nationals. But it did seem slow in the final think it might be a dead cell posibly in the pack ill test them later.

BTW mum put it in my room :p

Im impressed with this Mini-B Ash, and especially cos you've got to a hell of alot of effort to get the kit made rather than just buying some crappy kit from the far east!
