Just a bit more thought to add to your decision making, have looked at the MF01X chassis? https://www.tamiya.com/english/rc/chassis/mf-01x/index.htm It can be 210, 225, or 239 wheelbase, it’s rear mount motor ( may not accommodate a Mini shell ) 4WD but you could possibly take the prop shaft out and be rear wheel drive? The Rally Beetle uses this chassis and could be a cheaper option than a XV01? I've just pulled the trigger on the body shell, it was the last one in stock so I jumped in quick. That's a good shout on the MF01X, but honestly it has never struck any interest in me. I think it will be an M05 for the Mini as it is cheap to buy, FWD and almost but not quite a front mounted engine. I really like the M06 as well, the idea of a big fat engine hanging out the back of the Mini makes me think of the Haybusa engined Minis a few years ago. In the long run I want one of the those HPI Datsun 510A as well, the look so good! But that is definitely mid to long term. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are such simple pans cars but in my view the bodyshells where awesome, I kept rather "low key" eye out for one on ebay but most of them where way over priced until about 6 months ago when one came up with two bodyshells and a buy it now that I could live with. I have not yet done the bodyshells (I often have years between projects lol) but a tough looking mini is a great looking car Look forward to what you come up with. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know what you mean about time, it only took me about 18 months to sort out a second set of wheels & tyres for a Stadium Blitzer 😂 I recently joined Pinterest for ideas and came across this among other things, a bit beyond my skill set to achieve though, https://pin.it/11Ebbhx 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
