            Its a Tamiya M03 with an ABC Hobby Austin Mini Countryman body. It came with bolt-on bumpers, and light buckets for LED's, but this is going to be a race body, so it can't be too heavy. ;D Spec: Tamiya kit ESC Tamiya Sport Tuned motor Yeah Racing 3200mah LiPo w/Core UDC-20 charger/Pro Peak 20A PSU KO Esprit 3 transmitter Spektrum SR3500 receiver MRT PTX transponder Ansmann BBS wheels and V-tread tyres And I hated putting all those wood decals on...  |

That is simply awesome! One of the best R/C shells I've ever seen. Is the wheelbase for this any longer than a regular Mini shell? If I was designing it, I would have been tempted to change the scale and/or proportions somewhat so that it would fit on a standard touring car chassis with average wheelbase, as long as it still looked right. Even a slightly stretched Mini van has got to be better than a Dodge Stratos or something, right?

Thanks. The wheelbase is standard Tamiya Mini length, 210mm, and 160mm wide. I do have something special tucked away for a project someday, that is a Mini Clubman that is approx 225mm in wheelbase, and 190mm wide. Here's ABC's webpage for the Traveller: www.abchobby.com/abcframe/inframecontents/01bdypages/countryman.htmOn a TC, it'd certainly be something different to the current flavour of the month (Mazdaspeed 6, usually a Protoform blob.  |
