Thanks! That 4WD Sabre almost looks like my M-Four.
Does the 4WD Sabre come with body mounts to fit the Rover Mini bodies?

Other m-chassis... Yes, I've been waiting for ABC to release an updated version of their Genetic. I've been on the fence for their Gambado (sp?).. I am not sure I want another FWD considering how well my V2 runs.

The Xevo is nice because I can use all the M-chassis parts I already have.

Thanks patorz. I wish there is a vendor in the US that has these.
I've not had much good luck with overseas stores.

Rc Market is pretty good, I usually pay the extra and us EMS. It gets to Canada in a day. I usually have to wait 1-3 days for customs to clear it and then it delivered the day after customs is done with it. My last order from HK surprised me, Canada Customs must have been not that busy, my order shipped Thursday morning and I had it Monday.

Or they were busy with drug dealers.

Wow he does have it in stock, I buy a tonne of stuff from there and would never have thought to look for it. I really missed that one. Sorry TQ racing...
I'll make it up and send in an order for parts this week.

Lol you tell 'em TFG

Sorry Jim but I have to agree with Tony.....

TFG you didn't tell them about the ABC Gambado....

Bob the Sabre is mucho better than the Atomic. Just replace the plastic steering bellcrank with an Aluminum one...

Rear is the same. Looks like the motor slot accepts 16-20T pinions. I'm under the assumption as well that the TL-01 Speed Tuned gear set would work in this car; no guarantees tho.
Gear Chart from the manual is as follows (kit gears):
16T - 9.45:1
17T - 8.89:1
18T - 8.40:1
19T - 7.95:1
20T - 7.56:1

ps: the instruction manual is up on the website

Ugh, Canada Border Services. The last two things I had come in took vastly different amounts of time. One was cleared in under an hour, the other took a month.

If anyone cares to donate a Sabre FD Mini to the cause (re: me) I'd be happy to guide it gracefully around the track to prove you were right.

Jim you need a FWD TC, think of it as a really big mini that will drive straight.

Now that's a fun drivers class. I wish Karz had a FWD TC class instead of the TT-01 class they had back in the day. I bet the FWD TC would have been successful. Maybe with a cheap BL combo to run it? hmmm lol

Just trying to find a 190mm mini body for mine...

Will, the Gambado absolutely EXCELS as a shelf space occupier, just dont ever take it out on a track.
If you manage to get 2-3 laps on it before the spur gear strips dont worry, the front suspension will fall apart soon enough anyway...
When they work, they're great, but sadly that is so so rarely..

.. So, going back to my question, can the Tamiya Rover Mini body be mounted on the 4WD Sabre? I know with fiddling around I can make it fit; I don't feel like dealing with that right now. Yes, I am lazy.

The FWD Sabre appears to have the stock post locations for the Rover Mini bodies...
