R/C Tech Forums - Tamiya mini cooper

What are the part number I would need to convert a older m03 mini cooper to same specs/wheelbase/suspension as the m03m suzuki swift style.

Look like a chassis extension is needed and clearly the longer suzuki body.

Thanks for the help.

Cheers

Jamie

Not sure but this might be helpful to you:

Scroll down to the part where it has "SWB? MWB? LWB?"

However, I'd like to race there on occasion and wish you luck on your program. I'll see how many guys would like to try it.
If I may make a suggestion, use the TCS rules as a basis for your mini program. Open it up on tires though as Tamiya tires are expensive, hard to get, and are pretty much junk. We ran a very successful program at the now closed SoCal Raceway for nearly 3 years using that format

I'm sure its been asked a hundred times but whats the internal gear ratio of the M03 (I assume its the same for all 3 versions)

I'm going to have a little brushless fun with mine this weekend:D
