where are you guy's buying the tamiya stock cooper bodies from

looked around on ebay seems most of the sellers with them have crap feedback

does anyone know a site that sells them direct to the public


thanks in advance

thanks Scottrik

i forgot all about tower

i even got there mag today it's sitting in my thinking lab

I have 2 new sets of M-chassis radial tires # SP-568 U can have em both for 15.00 shipped

Hi Guys
I am new to the Mini and will be racing (for fun) in the WCICS. They use TCS rules,Tamiya hop up's only, silver can motor, ect.

Can you help me with some tips? I have purchased bearings, ball diffs (both Manta and TAO3), 20 and 21T pinions, shock set # 53280 and the Hollow carbon gear shaft.
What more do I need?
I have the M-O4M Alfa Romeo and the M-O3 Mini Cooper. Is one better than the other?
Can I get a good set up for carpet for both?
What diff is better, Manta or TAO3?
What Tamiya tires and inserts should I buy?
What is the best way to run in the stock motor? Water dip? How long?

Sorry to be a pain! I know I could read 83 pages and get most of the info but I know Tamiya Guys are hardcore and will give me good advice!
Thanks
Rod

does any one have a link to the instruction manual for the m03

i just got a roller in a trade seems to be far from complete

no ball ends on the steering knuckle's

nothing there to connect the steering from knuckle to knuckle

no servo linkage at all or saver . servo mounts are missing if the mini use's them

thanks in advance

Tamiya Manuals?

http://www.tamiya.com/english/rc/manuals.htm

DOH!!

I couldn't find online manuals so I JUST scanned the page on steering system assembly and was going to e-mail it to you.

Anyway, page 10 on the MO3 manual from the download source given.

Scottrik

thanks man i searched there site for a good 45 mins and came up with squat

i was waiting for somone to post good luck finding it online

my guess was you had it in your faves






thanks man i just found some real up close pics on this thread

i was so pissed about this thing i started at page one

got about 40 pages deep to find out im missing a decent amount of parts
for the steering

yay lucky me

this is one nice mini

http://tuyosi.ath.cx/nic/mini/m03.html

i guess i need to find another roller

both rear shock mounts are cracked at the top

Shock mounts are part of the chassis, and a complete new chassis will only run you about $15.00 max....

im waiting on the guy i made the trade with to get back to me before i decide if im going to keep this mini or not


body
rim's and tire's there slicks on it now and one is cracked
pinion
motor it would run for a while but i would replace it
chassis
shock rebuild kit
knuckle doesnt turn easy at all either bearings/dirt or warn out c hubs

i figure with what the price's add up to.
im better off with a new kit and this one for spare parts


if he doesnt want to work somthing out he will get it back

the only good thing about it is the aluminum knuckles

Scottrik,

53254 S Grip Tires
50684 M Grip Tires

53255 Hard Inner Sponge

The tires are the threaded ones

Tamiyas are gay. they are small and slows

awesome grammar skill's

did you remove your helmet to post that .
must be fun waiting for the short bus every morning

It takes a more talented person to drive a mini. You must not be one of them...
