not much carries over from prior M05/M03.
-SpurGear
-SpurGear Bearings
-Shock Cylinders/Caps
-Wheel Hexes
-Diff bearing at the Gearbox (15x10x3)
... are about the only things that carryover, just thinking off the top of my brain..
-Has new axle length (same as regular Tamiya Sedan)
-Uses smaller 'Sedan' size axle bearings
-Has new Suspension Geometry (arms, knuckles and hubs.. Front and Rear)
-Uses true Camber Links Front and Rear (you technically can use the Rear Camberlink and Steering Links from previous models assuming you adjust the length for new geometry)
-New Body Posts
-New Battery HoldDown design
-You can use the M05 Steering Drag Link, if you use the 'longer' Tamiya ballcups from their OffRoad buggies
hope this help..

I see it used the same diff as a ta06
So that's interchangeable
A lot of options with the shocks.. just might have to add the longer ballcup
Aluminum servo saver from the 05 looks to be the same

You can't carry over a lot of parts when so much is changed and improved upon.

Probably better to move this chat over to the main Mini Cooper thread.
No point having two thread with essentially the same topic.

Unfortunately it's a end of a era.Something I'm told due to licensing.
I'm told that We're not even allowed to use Cooper bodies anymore during TCS racing.

It makes sense because that's where everybody has already been discussing the M07 for the past 3-4 months...
