Hi Guys, let me introduce myself. I'm new to RC and chose the M05 for two reasons.
1) my local club has a Mini series that runs any m05/m03 cars.
2) i have owned a 1965 Morris Mini for the past 11 years.

Ive had my M05 Mini Cooper built for about 2 weeks now and I'm getting ready to race it. My immediate plans are to add the following:
Alloy steering
Hobbywing 13t 35A combo (as per club rules)
Yeah racing shocks

I also want to change the tires and buy a few sets of wheels so that I can experiment with combos..
I am going to try both the medium and hard Shimizu Racing Mini Chassis 60 Slick Tire
I have a few questions that I thought you guys would be able to answer.
What wheels will fit my car? Are the monte carlo wheels the same size?
Will tamiya 50569 rims fit? I can only see them listed for the m03?

or are the M05 a different style?

Cheers
Filippimini
