1. get the hard inserts.
2. get the ta03 diff. its smaller
3. run BMW for long chassis
4. I would get. Toe in (for tuning), Quick release battery holder (makes changing batteries much easier - no need for body clips), Spring set (tuning), Turnbuckle (tuning more easier), Hollow carbon fibre shafts (faster)
Also essential (if you want to go fast) is ball bearings if you dont already have

Upper arms
Hi, I too love racing these M-cars. I'm building another now and was wondering if the 53303 TL01 adustable arms will work on the M03. Has anybody tried this? If they work the car should still be TCS legal.
Also, does anybody know when the Suzuki Swift Super 1600 - M03M
will be released? I would like to get the chassis extender so I can use an HPI 225mm body.

I had seen a date of March 30th and also April. If you check the Tamiya USA website, they list the part number for the new suspension pieces including the body extender. Does anyone know the dimensions of the "1050" bearing that are used in the new suspension pieces?

The front wheels have 2 functions on the m03, the rear one....
Front: Wheel drive and steering
Rear: tracking only
On a tight track a well built ball diff is the only way to go.....
