I'm interested in picking up one of the current offering from Scaley. Either the WRC or Countryman versions of the Mini and wondered if anyone had successfully set up one of these little cars for racing on a wood course.
In info would be appreciated.

Paul, I've done several of them on the old forum in the scratchbuild section. It is under modified minis or mini mods, it's been awhile. :)

I own and drive a BMW MINI R53 and personally, when on boost you better be paying damn good attention to where the front tires are pointed. I would try to convert the Scaley version over to FWD to make it proper, I wonder if anyone has tried that!
Cheers, Thompson
