What Tamiya bodies fit the long wheelbase M05 pro? 239mm. It's very hard to tell based on the tamiya webiste.
Also, should I be running the longest wheelbase? I race on a rather large parking lot track.

I've been searching this thread with words like "setup" and "asphalt". But haven't came across too many setups for the M05. There is a race comming up in two weeks and I would like get it as race ready as I can. The track is outdoor asphalt, with med to high bite traction. Two sweepers with a long front straight and a small technical area in the middle.
I'm running a M05 with a ball diff and TRF shocks. I have super grip radial tire(can only run radial tires). But the biggest factor is going to be shock setup. And that's where I'm at a lose.

If your going to use my setup I would drop down in oil to 40 as Tamiyas track is not so grippy. so higher grip lower oil. Hope that helps. Let me know if you need any help.

Hey guys & gals just looking for some good sites to order tamiya parts from (ex:metal steering links, different rims & tires)

I got my M05 there and most of my local stuff there.

Are there aluminum front C Hubs made by Tamiya available for M05 pro (All I could found was 3racing)?
