hey tony that article on rc mini is great! nice site to BTW!

but what's the deal with the wheel mounts? the hexes! they take screws in them to mount?

also what size motor is in there? (hope fully 540 size) can't really tell from those cool pics.

i wonder how the balence going to be also the grip... this car must have been proven a cool fwd!

Comes with a 540 size 35 turn (WTF?) motor....

35t !!!!! Almost a rock crawler motor. :D

yes ! 540!

35t?

your right.... WTF? that motor belongs in my tamiya highlift!

have you guys run it yet? hope it doesn't have massive wheel-slip like the tamiya.

is the straight chrome m-chassis really exclusive or that limited (20 in the whole world)?. because if its the case, i'm one of the lucky that owns 1 of those 20 units produced... :blush:

Yes - they really are that exclusive. To the best of my knowledge, there has only been a couple released to the general public - the rest are all hidden away by a select few.

The 20 that exist were commissioned by the guys at rc-mini.net. One was made available for sale on eBay. That's it for chrome chassis.

Did you get the one from eBay, or do you have a smoked chrome chassis with the "smoke" removed?

I think maybe one more escaped the clutches of the guys at RC-Mini :nod:

There were 20 in the box, as pictured on the site. That's all there are.

And I know where each one of those 20 lives. And not all are in Australia......

And I can tell if it's one of the 20 or a 'fake' Hee hee... but I'm the only one who can.

But in the end - it's only a shiny bit of plastic anyway! :lol:

I recall reading somewhere that there is a method for washing the tint off of the smoked and blue chrome chassis. I just can't remember what it is.

Jim

As I said on the Aussie Mini thread, you CAN do that, but ours are specially marked, so I can tell if it's 1 of the 20.

And I can tell you now, I've got 2 of em! One to keep, and one to race.

mine came directly from someone who worked in tamiya factory..
it was the straight chrome, with fiat body, even the wheels are chrome i dont know how many spokes but lots of spokes on the wheels.

i changed the body and the wheels and tires, the uprites and steering block because im using it for racing.. but i still have all the stock chrome parts, even the extention on the middle part which makes it an m03m. when i read the rarity of it from rc mini.net. i now plan to just display it and buy an ordinary m-chassis to use for racing. hehehe!

Anybody know where I can find these discontinued hop-up parts for an M-01?
