Where did you get the stickers from for the 25?

The pinstripes were from a local motorfactors and the 25 'stickers' were made up in paint and printed off.

Will hopefully be the proud owner of one of these later

 

Good stuff get some pics up when you do, could do it up to look like your park lane

 

that's the plan missed out on the one on ebay but gonna save and buy the whole kit from modelzone or something

[1984mini25]

as for motors, the standard silver can is around the same as a 28turn motor at 16.600rpm, the rs-540 is about 18.500rpm. But the 21turn motor I've been running in the one with all the extras is 23.000rpm, so its no wonder eat eats front tyres unless extremely gentle (where's the fun in that) on the throttle. But as with most things the increase in rpm comes at at price of slightly reduced torque.

You can get oil filled shocks for them, aswell as different strength springs

Bit small compared to the Baja

I bought one from purple_hedgehog off here a few weeks ago, so part of the club now! I'm looking to get a new shell and have it painted up like my MPi, will post up some photos when done

 

I've noticed that some of the models have mirrors; do they come with the bodyshell kit or do I have to find them from somewhere else...?

If you buy a shell with all the plastic bits like this http://www.ebay.co.u...=item1e7a14a3ff then the mirrors come with it

Just won this on ebay :) :

 

[megamini_jb]

Took mine to work with me yesterday and ragged it round the car park at lunch lol.

How long do yours last? I charged it up night before for about 4 and half hours, only lasted like 10 minutes max before noticing loss of power.

Battery is 1700 mah.

Any recommendations on a new battery pack?
