Not quite the way I remember it...................
Owning / driving a stock tourer requires patience , preparation and carefactor - Three strikes must mean i'm out !!!
Mini , I pulled out to race just the other night - charged pack and drove it !!
The skills weren't the greatest , but these little suckers can take the punishment at the speed I drive ................................

T/Cs bore me senseless, at least my car doesn't look like it came out of the same cookie cutter as the next guy's ( P.S - still waiting for my TA22 )

Have you ever taken one apart? They look the same as 540.

Michael,

I don't know why they would call you, Calvin. Your not in the same league as him. I'm pretty sure Jason has insulted me. Plenty of time to respond.

wollow86,

If you are using Tamiya diffs then the part numbers Tim has given for the blades are correct. If you are using a 3Racing diff with blades then they will be to small. The 3Racing blades are 3.5mm.

Later,

50 Cal.

Tony's been running the hobbywing for over 2 years. I think he's correct about the motor being a 380 core.

Here's the description from the manufacturer

It is totally a 380 motor made to look like a 540 with the heatsink case.

I like the belt drive and pan chassis, but the rest I am not sure. But who knows what they will do with it. Maybe the basis for a M07, if made in FWD form.
