Mini 8 Rally/drifter
As some of you will know, every year at WORM we run a summer series for micros that have been converted to WRC rally cars.
This usually takes the form of a Shark chassis with a Phat bodies "Banzai Mini" body mounted on top, and a set of foam tyres with MB inner tube "donuts" stretched over to give a kind of drifty/rally car feel to the driving. We run each race as a specific rally, and try to build a track and surface to match the type of rally that the country runs. So Rally Sweden would be run on a fully polished floor to give a very slippy feel as if running on snow Rally Germany would have carpet laid down on a flat track to simulate a grippy type of rally. Last night we ran "The Monte Carlo Rally" so was mostly polished floor with a few table ramps to simulate the Italian Alps you get the picture Anyway .... up until now we have only ever used the Sharks as drifters, but I'm a lazy sod sometimes and decided it would be easier to mount my Mini body on my Losi Mini8 cos all my radio gear was already installed. All I had to do was make up a couple of body mounts front and back with a couple of pieces of plastic sheet, I used some polypropylene I had laying around. The Mini 8 is a little wider than the Shark so the tyres/wheels do "poke" a little but I like the look. Have a look at the pics and let me know what you think Oh and BTW, the Mini 8 makes an awesome drifter !!

Is that what you called the table top in the corner. If you had no speed you didnt get up it. Momentum was deffo the key top it. And i think theyd polished the floor as i would of had more grip running just rims.

Hey Mr Speedy, i really like your idea of a mini 8 rally car, so i copied your idea.
But instead of making new bodyposts holders, i've drilled 2 holes in my rear T-bone bumper and shortened the front T-bone bumper and drilled also 2 holes in it to mount the bodyposts. I really like the way the t-bone rear bumper looks like a kind of diffuser ;-)
