Hey Guys, Just wanted to say hi and post up a few pics of my 6 year old M-03 with full bearings, a Castle Sidewinder/4600 combo on an Orion 4000mAh 2s LiPo, Tamiya TC oil filled shocks, Traxxas 2.4 Link radio and Futaba 3305 Servo, and M-05 C's and knuckles with Traxxas rod ends (with ANZA balls) , Kimbrough servo saver, and Associated Ti threaded rods. The wheels are still Tamiya, but the current tires and body are both HPI. It's been built as a basher, but may see track time at the HTU I work for this season.



BTW, the LED's are E-Flite, the buckets are RPM, and the paint is Pactra Galactic Purple 2 stage flip flop paint for the main color with Model Master AMC Sterling Silver lacquer (which is lexan compatable! ) for the rest.

And here's the M-05 C and Knuckle swap with Traxxas rod ends and Kimbourgh servo saver.






Steering seems way tighter this way and it will probably need 2.5° rear carriers if I put it on our track. As is it should be fantastic for gymkhana type driving
