MF-01X Onroad
Here's a video of my MF-01X on the tail end of it's first battery being driven by a friend of mine. The chassis is fun and shows a bit of promise.

Are those mini wheels or standard TC wheels? I know the truck versions use the rally blocks (standard TC size).

Those are Sweep mini premounts. The tires on the car in the video are Tamiya 60D slicks.

Anybody race their MF01X on carpet?
So, does anybody? And what tyres/setup do you have to calm down the grip roll. Mine is great when it doesn't have too much grip with a fluid diff up front but the springs are probably way off (kit fronts and medium rears off a regular TC). But once the track rubbers up it falls over all the time. Tyres are Pit Shimizu treaded medium rears and hard fronts without glued sidewalls. Traditionally I've never glued the sidewalls, I know the hardcore M-racers often swear by this, so wonder if it's worth investigating?

MF01X or M06 for street bashing?
I already have a XV-01 (front mount motor 4wd) and a MST CMX for crawling/Trail driving ...
This chassis (after seeing that racing Utoobs video) has me thinking it would make a great track/street machine.
I know some people will never give up on the M05 (and variants) as the king of Mini chassis, but this one seems a little more versatile. Maybe not the lightest, but still competitive enough?

rtypec- Wow! Looks fantastic. Nice choice in color too.
Take a thin sharpie and draw the parting lines for even more detail!!
If you mess up, just use some motor spray. It will come off cleanly.

Selling an MF-01X that's practically a new built.

Throwing an HPI BMW the chassis did not come with original body. You can take it or leave it

The chassis high centre of gravity is probably the culprit on traction rolling. I never played with mine on carpet but see if you can get the ride height to about 4mm.
Front fluid diff, try 2.5 million to make it like a spool.
If you have a diff fluid rear diff, you also may want to go up to 5, 7 and maybe even 10k.
You're in unchartered waters so lots of trial and error
