mrbiccies 6 Posted September 21, 2008 Which of the Tamiya D60 tyres work best on carpet for the se7en class? I assume universal shafts are not allowed in this class? what about the aluminium motor mount? is it a class for no hop-ups at all, just the car as it comes standard?

straightspeed2 0 Posted November 16, 2008 Sorry, I thought I'd subscribed to the thread The Mini Se7en class permits any hop up other than to the areas listed in the 1st thread, so yep, Universals are permitted. Any of the D60 Radials work well. I favour the Supergrips, current club series leader uses M Grips, the majority use standard Radials. Rule ammendment for Class 1 Diffs are now open. Gear, Ball, Oneway? or Spool? your choice. More good news We now have support from Tamiya UK as well as Much-More UK. Raffle prizes include a Tamiya M03 Kit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
straightspeed2 0 Posted November 25, 2008 With a few days to go, a quick update: Looks like we'll have a full scale Mini Se7en race car on display - 2008 Runners up car no less (who just happens to race proper Mini's - M03 - as well ) A lunch time Caravan race is planned - madness last time we ran them. Tamiya UK have donated a kit for the raffle - an M03 - but club sponsors and Tamiya dealer Selections Racing will offer an alternative if preffered. Raffle prizes growing every day. Doors open at 8.00am - Bacon Butties will be gently sizzling. Booking in and open practice from 8.15am. Still spaces available on the day for all class's.
