I still think that my m-chassis collection is still not complete due to the lack of an M01 chassis...

Back 15yrs ago when I first bought the house, I had a track down there which was almost taking up the ENTIRE basement for my MicroRS4.

But the AM/FM radios killed the fun because there was just too much interference and not enough places to race my TC cars; I just lost interest in RC all together. That's when I took a break...

I come back 15yrs later, what's this? 2.4GHz, binding, brushless motors, lipos ?! I love the non-interference of my 2.4GHz radios and that really brought back my interest into RC again.

I bought basically all the chassis in my signature last Fall into this year with the exception of a few that I had previously.

He's onto you Ax!!!
Watchout for those flying Monkeys!!!

Yeah, I'm able to do two things at once like pick my nose and scratch my butt or rub my belly and pat my head. With one I can switch hands, with the other not so much.

Just got my rims ordered. 9.97 tamiya mini cooper wheels s2006. Any good? Anyone heard of em. Thanks ebay

I understand there are heaps of combos for wheels etc but if you are running low/mid grip asphalt and are not limited to TCS regs give the ride mini wheels a crack. They are bigger so do change the look (and top speed) but they come pre glued and work really well with no prep. We run the mc38 on the front and sc32 on the rear. Really good balance and wear.

The Ride tire/wheel combos are still a 60mm outside diameter tire, same as Tamiya. The wheel is larger, but they reduced tire sidewall height to maintain the size.

Cool! Great info on alternatives. I like low profile tires while maintaining overall diameter.

Ahh, those are the R56 MINI wheels. Which body are you running again?

But that's what you want. Inch up's, just like real car wheels.

I'm running the mini racing body. M05. Just the one that came in the box. Hey side note: can I find another body to paint but just a clear one that's not 40 bucks. I want a mini and the older civic if possible. You know of any off hand that aren't too much money??

Oh and update. Unfortunately no pics because I don't know how on my phone....I got the 3 racing linkage kit and tamiya camber arm adjustment kit. The linkage for the toe needed to be replaced so I upgraded it to an easier adjustable option. The 3 racing kit is WAY better plastic and came with a wrench (spanner) to adjust toe nice and easy. Nice blue ball joints on there now and metal threads. Also refilled the shocks so the actually work now lol. Installed the new black tamiya gears and cleaned all the left over road and shrapnel out and if it wasn't 130 am right now I'd be testing and tuning. As soon as I figure out how to post pics I'll upload them. Sakadachi I want to drive it in your basement now lol

Simon, Have you ever tried 34's on the front. Would this help to increase steering? I'm finding that during winter when the track is cold I'm not getting the same grip up front when coming into a corner.

I'm thinking I might drop the oil weight in the diff as well. I liked the way your car was steering last weekend, but I probably won't go as low as yours.

Never tried them mate but yeah they would give a fraction more entry steering but also wear a little quicker. I'd be more inclined to drop the oil weight in the diff as a first try. Maybe down to 80-100k. I'm really happy with 30k

I've got some 100k I can bring to the track tomorrow.

Cool. The Rover Mini's bodies I buy are usually around $32-33 shipped, but I am in the USA. ABC Hobbies makes other M-chassis bodies if you want to run a quick search at their site.

hahaha! Yes, my track is basically open 24/7 rain or shine. Good job installing the replacement parts. Hope you get some run time today!!

To post pictures here, I first upload my pictures onto the Albums page, and copy/paste the image URL which looks like

I do however resize the image to 600 pixels width using a photo editor before I upload into the albums page though. I'm just using my phone camera so the images aren't that great to begin with.

Hey Simon, I see a lot of posts showing these huge values for the diff oil weight, where as the Associated diff oil I use in my M-Four are values like 3000 to 5000. Are the oil weight units the same or..
