Probably not. Simple enough to mask them though with a roll of tape and a knife.

**Turner Boy** · May 25, 2007

yeah, what about light stickers?

**Garry** · May 25, 2007

Not sure, I should find out at the weekend.

**Turner Boy** · May 25, 2007

**reefshark** · May 26, 2007

the twingo looks sweet i think it would be funny seeing it drive around on a rc

**Nick** · May 27, 2007

Took mine out today, might give up on the whole lipo/brushless thing, lol.

I accelerated and stripped the spur almost instantly. I'm thinking of maybe converting or doing something like Garry has to get a Mini size chassis but more suitable fro my setup.

**reefshark** · May 27, 2007

you are asking alot though brushless power through the front wheels

**Stumungous** · May 27, 2007

Hi guys, where can you get the M03 kit without the ESC?

**Stumungous** · May 27, 2007

So far, goldstarstockists/time tunnel models do the raw kit for about 65 quid posted by 1st class or £61 with free 2nd class delivery

**TAMIYAMANUK** · July 19, 2007

well sorry to bring a old thread up but it saves me opening another.

anyway just wondering if anyone has a good set-up for carpet, and a good all round carpet tyre for the mini.

only asking for a friend as he doesn't want sign up :S

Front: 3 Hole Pistons - either Mini CVA or TRF Hard Black Coated - with 35wgt shock oil, 4mm Ride Height, 0 degrees Toe. Blue short Springs or White if the grip level is very high.

Rear: 3 Hole Pistons - shocks as above - 35wgt shock oil, 5mm Ride Height, Toe in rear uprights, Thin Anti Roll Bar. Yellow short Springs.

Kit tyres are fine, but they prone to hardening or Glazing. M Grip on the Rear and Super Grip on the front works best for me, with Medium Moulded Inserts - Just buy 1:10 Touring car inserts and cut them down. That said, the kit inserts work well enough. If you can get some HPI X Belted (must be belted) tyres, then they're excellent.

**TAMIYAMANUK** · July 19, 2007

cheers for that i will send him that over and let him try it out :good:

HPI X Belted

do they do them in a Mini size if you know what i mean he doesn't want 1/10th tyres on there as it will look out of scale and not Mini looking

They did, though they've not been bought into the UK by Mirage for some time, even though they still list them on their site.

rcboyz via ebay usually has them (or did) I've not looked for a while. There are others that work that I've not used. Try some of the far eastern suppliers.

have a look on www.rc-mini.net they have a section on tyres.

**Garry** · July 21, 2007

My setup is 50wt front and rear, 2 hole piston, Tamiya Tuned Spring set (blue front spring, red rear), kit tyres. Kit toe/camber. Just need a bit more practice on carpet.

**TAMIYAMANUK** · July 21, 2007

by the look of his tyres hes done about 2 race meetings on the kit tyres and they have like gone kinda flakey.

just seem you cant find the HPI tyres no where :S

**Garry** · July 21, 2007

Spot on there, I've been searching for ages.

**TAMIYAMANUK** · July 22, 2007

EDIT. found some if any one wants any there on tower hobbys by the look of it.

Third Edit: http://www.rchobbies.com.au/store/product_...63a7209a878b401

Edited July 22, 2007 by TAMIYAMANUK

**Garry** · July 23, 2007

Might be a good idea to ask if there's any in stock.

**Nick** · July 23, 2007

Think I'll be buying a couple of cheap 7.2v packs and sticking a 19t in mine.

Garry was right about Lipo/Brushless in one. *hides* :lol:
