Tamiya 94' Monte Carlo Mini Cooper
Just bought this on eBay, RTR new for a nice price. I have never had a R/C car; always had trucks so this will be interesting.
Of course, I have to rally it! This is what it looks like:  Even thought it already comes painted (lucky me  ) I will try to go for this look: Where I bought it: eBay Buy

I want chassis pics when you get it. I've always liked these models and wondered about their quality.

Took it out for a test drive.
Funnest R/C car I have driven to date! Even let my little brother have a go, and he loved it! Plenty fast also, and I LOVE the steering. Sharp as it could be. I love the Mini. Here are the better pictures! With no body later. And yes, I got stickorz.

Nice Mini. Someday I plan on buying something like this. You may need to increase the ride height if you want to rally it. My rally Xmod is higher than that. But if it can go over things, than you should be good.

Thanks man. I do need to raise it a bit, but it is a great performer at the current height.
Coming from crawlers, I am not used to the open differential, so the first thing I did was try to go over some grass. Epic fail in a FWD open diff Mini.

I was driving, and my younger brother was recording. You can see that the Mini is faster than the camera man! http://www.vimeo.com/4891802

I like to mix it up a bit. A bit of racing, bit of stunting, and a bit of drunk driving. All in one. Thanks man, it handles AWESOME. Seriously, best handling car I have had so far.

Bumpy but awesome!
Good choice for music, too.  Cheers, Kyle. Edit: What camera did you use?
