Lake Superior R/C Club

I suggested the mini coppers befor we took in the street spec, but that got shot down because people thought the car would become discontinued I watched the mini coppers run when Jabber and I whent down to Milwaukee for the Novak race in '07. One of the guys I pit next to said he loved it, and its a great club level class.

I've always wanted one of these things, and I think I'll just go out and buy one just for the heck of it

we need 3 people to run a class right? Menor you in thats 3???

Yep, I'll get in on that. That's three of us, who else will join the demo club?

For anyone else interested we are talking about the Tamiya Mini Cooper kit #58438

I'm going to have Hobbytown order a Tamyia Mini Copper for me. If Hobbytown can't deliver the car, or the parts, the class could be a bust

We will run a heat for 4 cars maybe 3.
not to muddy things up .I was thinking about a vintage 1/12 class with nascar bodies

.There are a lot of those(1/12) around and can be had for cheap and lots of parts available.

on a side note, the TMC can be run on a parking lot

Hey bullet I can order yours from stormer the next time I get paid... I wouldnt give the clowns anything you dont have to...

Sounds interesting Jim. We talked about this before. Joey & I are in. I'm not interested in having one of those chicken coops. Looks like I'm getting a 3.2.

Chicken coop you must not have even tried looking at these on youtube...

I am ordering 3 of them next week

Yes I did see them on you tube. It's like watching a VTA Race. I'll stick to pan chassie cars that are made for carpet.

You should buy a 12th scale then? Or run one of your old ones....

I dont see a reason why you shouldnt buy one though... No way to know which class everyone will like until people are able to see the cars run Go for it!

12th scale is fun, can't swing speed control and motor right now. A spec class of 12th might be ok. Sorry the chicken coop I'm not into. Have a line on a 3.2 sport, just waiting to hear back. You are more than right about how people would react to a class. You never know what they might like.

Thats what I mean get a 3.2! We need people to put there money where their mouths are so we can see what cars are out there and what we like!

Questions about this vintage 1/12 class though? Does that meet the rules? Don't we need a spec chassis that is the same for everyone? Are their kits for this readily available to purchase? If we are talking about a vintage class we might as well of ok'd the vta as our spec class?

The kit for the mini cooper is 118 with an electronic speedo and a brushed motor. I am sure in the future we will want a brushless setup but we could spec that out when the time comes. This class needs to be something that someone can go and buy a NEW kit for or we have the same problem that we have with the current chassis...
