Mate of mine has been racing indoor Tamiya minis for the last few years and talked me into going for a look.

Had a play with a TT01 Scooby on his drive and am going up to have a play with this car on the indoor track on Tuesday.

The minis seem nicely engineered and very popular and it seems like a cheapish way of having a bit of fun.

So, anyone here into this ?

Im going to use the TT01 with a standard silver can motor just for a play session and if I get on ok, then I will be looking to get more involved.

The club races touring cars, a small TT01 class and a very busy M03/M05 mini class, which has three ability classes. Its this class I want to end up racing in I think.

My mate has already said I can use the TT01 regularly , but I will need to upgrade some bits on it firstly.

Ive already been browsing carbon and bling on modelsports webby....

Got any pics? I'd love to use a rear drive car but the local club doesn't have a class for them.

I've not heard of the mo6 though.

Good clubs to you are Leighton Buzzard and Milton Keynes. Both are friendly and a reasonable standard smile
Leighton is where I will be racing.

Have decided to get involved and am about to order an M03 Mini Cooper kit with 2.4 wheel kit.

Lokking forward to getting into it tbh.
