I'm also having a difficult time trying to find either this parts tree, or a spare tree on ebay.
Do you know anywhere I can find a tree from an R kit?
Thanks,

The M03R happened around the same time that Tamiya released the M03M, with updated C hubs and steering knuckles. It sounds like you were using the older, taller C hubs with spacers to accommodate the newer shorter knuckles?
Anyway, the newer C hubs as supplied on the M03M are part number 51238. They're pretty easy to find. Don't bother with the R part number, as it's just plated bling. 51238 will come with uprights and knuckles. (they'll probably need 5x11 bearings, btw)
