thanks also what is the diffrence between the model numbers like the MO4M and the MO3L other than bodies

Most of that will be explained on that website but basically...

M03's are Front-wheel drive
M04's are rear-wheel drive

Some better pictures of the M03R available:

thanks for the help ill look into the forum a bit more and ill probably pick one up after i get the motor for my gas truck

I was lookin' to get some oil shocks for my M03,do I need the mini or super mini CVA's? I assume the Super Mini are shorter, but will they still work?

Thanks in advance.

The super mini CVA shocks will fit just fine.

You are correct the super Mini shock are shorter. They are the ones you want they will allow you to get your car lower.

I have a set of YOKOMO shocks on my M-03. It's not TCS legal, but it's all good! I also have a set of TECH RACING mini shocks....i haven't built those.

whould i just buy the mo3r or shoulkd i just buy the regular mo3 is it worth it for the r

good question, and I was thinking the same thing and about to ask the same question. That M03R looks amazing, but I don't race TCS, would it be worth it for bashing? I'm thinkin' I am gonna get to upset when its nice aluminum parts get dinged and scratched from my street.

I'm on the preorder list and it should be here sometime next week. I'll let you know then (as well as others will too I bet) whether it's worth it. It looks to pretty to bash around though and mine will probably just get built and sit on a shelf...until next carpet season. I'm not running it on asphalt and scratching up all that chrome.

i bought the mini cooper, built it and sprayed the body metallic blue. now i dont wanna play with it...duno if i should sell it. i'll let it go for like 120 if someone wants it...or should i keep it? spread the word for me yall....if not ima just play with it on my local indoor track

Does anyone have the instructions on how to build the super mini shocks or where I can download them?

I just finished the build on the Alfa GTA MO4m, looks pretty nice. but I'm gona race it at the TCS qualifier at Tamiya. I added the usual hop ups:
full bearings
alum. front knuckle
hi torgue servo,
r. tow in up right.
cvds,
ball diff
radials/slicks
alum. shocks
blue front, red r springs
novak gt7 esc
and the silver can mabuchi
Here's hoping that Tamiya holds it TCS finals at their Track.

I have a Mini shock question.

I am currently running a MO4m with (50746) plastic Super Mini Shocks, 60 weight oil and 2 hole pistons on the rear of my car.

If I change to the Low Friction Aluminum Dampeners (53155) do I need to change the oil weight or number of holes in the piston to get the same dampening?
