Hi every big brothers,
Just join the m04 party. Any setting suggest?
I have change the shock to TRF one and change the spring to the short one. Front red, rear yellow. What should I use on the oil. Currently front and rear associated 35. Ball differential would be added later.
Thanks a a lot

With a the 34T spoor you will have a quite nice choise of gear for 27T motors:
23T -> 4.63
21T -> 5.07
19T -> 5.61
With a 23T pinion and a silver stock tamiya motor the mini should be flying

With 60D tyres it gets a 40mm rollout. It should go pretty good, I haven't driven it yet in this setup tho My car's an M04M though, not a Mini Cooper.

Hey guys I bought a M04 and I noticed that the shocks did not allow the car to bottom out. This is good but I think it limits shock travel and I am loosing some of my shock action. They are some aftermarket shocks and I was wondering if I needed to get different shocks. I would like some suggestions for better shocks or is this a normal condition.
Also any help with oil and spring would be great.
Thanks
Chris

hi. i bought my m03 second hand, it has 2 deg rear toe... i want to put back to 0 deg rear toe... i got all the spare parts he had....
i was wondering what i need to change to get back to 0deg... is it
the rear lower arm,
the rear upright, or
the upper camber link (upper arm)?
thanks

Finally ! that took awhile to read all 25 pages of this thread ! . LOTS of great info . I am currently rebuilding my M03 . So far all i have is a esc and ballbearings , a set of S grip ( on the reinfored rims ) a couple sets of stock mini tires and a set of 1/10 TC Slicks . I am waiting to get some alloy pin style wheel adapters to replace my cracked plastic ones . As well as a set of Super mini cva dampers . Well here is a pic . I have a new Tamiya Body sitting in my closet , but I can't get the guts to paint it . I think i will just use this one ( in pic ) until it is in such bad shape it is unusable . Or get a pro to paint my mini body for me . Anyway I hope the mini stays around for awhile since they are cheap to run , Fun and with a good setup and a skilled driver , they can be competitive with the local racing clubs at the enty/sportmans level anyway . I be checking back regularly , see ya .

I have been following this thread for a while now...and all I can say is that there's a nice bunch of enthusiasts here. Helpful and supportive. This thread actually influenced me to get a MO3. And I sure was pretty happy with the buy. Never had so much fun for a long while The tips here sure helped me to build and tune the mini. Keep it up and thanks.
Btw here's my Mini.
