Here are my M chassis cars. The first pic is of my M03M this is the blue plated version but I got a black chassis instead and I did not use the blue chassis on it. The blue chassis in its box. My M03M has the yellow Suzuki Swift Super 1600 body (not shown) the second photo is a M03 mini chassis this has the yellow Mini cooper body the third photo is my M03R chassis with the blue Suzuki WagonR body. All of my chassis have tons of upgrades like full ball bearing aluminum heat sinks aluminum dampers, front and rear stabilizers. In the M03M I use a black sport tuned tamiya motor, in the M03 I use a GT tuned Tamiya motor and in the M03R I use a lightly tuned Tamiya motor this is the slowest of the three. When I took these pics my M03 and M03R where still under construction so I didn't have all the electronics installed.

For racing: s grip radial or belted slicks from tamiya

for bashing: m compound radial or stock tires from tamiya, x star from hpi if they're still available - I recall they were belted.

If its hot outside I use super slicks they tend to grip better in hot weather on asphalt. If its not that hot just warn you can get away with 60D super grip tires also.

Hey guys, I need to know what part number to use to order a new diff gear for the M05 ball diff. Tried looking on Tamiya USA and all I could find was a diff gear with the same part number as the ball diff, but with a different item# 0440410.

So not quite sure what to use as a part#.

A little help would be appreciated.

Thx in advance

There's a reason Tony P and Tim are standing behind that big concrete pipe.
And yes, that red blur IS a mini (an M05 to be exact)





Check out the stupidity HERE
