I think the mini rules should be as following;

off-road tyres
any brushless motor
lipos
big shocks
swap mini shells for buggy shells
use the jumps


________
TOP PENNY STOCKS

Here are my two pence worth.
any mini sized rubber tyres.
tamiya black can or 27t brushed/13.5 brushless.
any hop up.
any mini sized shell
no ball diffs. Gear diffs only.
Pro and R variations allowed.
2wd only
All must bow to my mini driving skills

Maybe ansmann and hpi 20t sealed can motors too.
These are very similar to tamiya black cans.

After my session at Ardant today, how about:
13.5t brushless systems only
Only 1 set of tyres per series

I dont think 1 set of ansmann's would last a series as some struggle to last 1 night

Quite a few lads from the notts area raced minis at Ardents fri night club meet. There were different motor and tyre set ups but all seemed relatively close. Lots of us have noticed that motors dont seem to make a massive differnce in the mini. Overpower it and it just becomes useless, spinning its wheels, unable to put power down. Not all hop ups seem to make a difference either and most have found at w.b. that the friction shocks work better over oil filled ones.
A lot of debate in the pst about mini rules has been bounced about. Should it be an entry class? Is it a budget class?
There are very few newbies in minis as most newbies seem to come with touring cars. Its not a budget class either as prices have soared. Ok, it may be budget compared to a new xray tourer or top end buggy but not many people have those either or have got them second hand anyway.

I would like to think that the rules shouldnt taint the mini race class as I feel that they a little have in the past. Rules were set before but not then enforced anyway so people were left to moan which is fair enough I suppose but what is the point in having rules if they are not enforced and I'm not talking about the rc mini police here either, just monitor it.

Lets get some realistic rules that keep the class fun.
We never have this rule problem with any other class of racing.

My ideas (turning out to be a long post init?)

any mini chassis. m01,02,03,04,05.
any mini sized wheel and tyres.
any shocks and springs.
geared kit diffs.
27t or 13.5brushless. hpi/ansmann 15 or 20t?(only £7.50).
Black or silver can tamiya motor.
any mini sized bodyshell.

right ho, chris. Just shut up and eat your easter egg. Right ho.
