Re: R/C Tamiya Mini 4WD Racers

…Jamie VERY true…the mini yonku hail from way back…RE: scale the R/C mini yonku are scaled slightly bigger than their ‘turn on and let run till they fall down dead’ conterparts…Bodies include your usual suspects of gtr, subaru and evo 🙂

…Jamie you and I DO need to speak about your experiments with motors etc, I will be in touch 🙂

…Racer9 they were never designed to be full propo and they dont need to be…It is not a design oversight nor a desirable option…

…The controller is merely for speed…The cars themselves run
around an oval or 8-track…best modified car wins either by lap counts or a nose in front…Tamiya uses this whole series as a warm up for the kids before they get into 1/10 and it gives the dads, (usually dads but mums too 🙂 to be with the kids while dad fiddles with his 1/10…

…Microamps…not a slot car as you might think with the pin and tabs on the bottom but think more of a BB in a straw…Courses are usually oval or figure 8 but Tamiya pulls out some crazy ones at the shows…You get the occasional one jumoing out of a corner but pretty much they just run where the track goes 🙂
