I'd better stock up on parts before they disappear.

No indication from Tamiya that they are discontinuing them any time soon Jim. Still readily available everywhere. And I'm building up a new one at the moment.

And in the rc-mini camp it's a 50/50 split between M03's and M05's for our race cars. With the M03 SWB winning the last couple of big events.

You're right though - working on an M03 is a joy by comparison with an 05/06.
