I just checked Tamiya Japan web site. Sorry TomB couldn't find any Hyundai accent you wanted so bad
But they got these :Tamiya mini just look at pic, unless you can read jap.

unfotunately the 208 mm chassis must be the short wheelbase mini so the datto wont fit the mo3m
maybe i can get a short mini with bling wheels just to keep in the cabinet for display with the datto shell and of course some demo runs too
it sure looks fast just sitting there

I ran my M03M with the Alfa body at Boronia last night.
To get the body to fit nicely you have to rotate the rear body posts 180 degrees to match up with the holes already drilled in the body. You also need to cut a 10mm square hole on the right hand side cowl grille area (where the bonnet meets the windscreen), this allows the body to clear the screw on top of the servo mounting plate and sit lower at the front.

woohoo!
minis at ec whalan sunday!!
will we have 2 heats of minis or 15 car field???
bring it on

If the weather is ok tomorrow i will be out with my mini and my tourer, so you maybe add another mini or two to that list.

spewing. so the m chassis is what, 210mm? and the l must be maye 212mm?

bummer

the mo3m i believe is 225mm and the datto body is for the 208mm
chassis which is the rover mini cooper, but the suzuki swift looks good too and is more aerodynamic

So how did the minis go today at Whalan

2 heats in Mini so its all good.

Could someone tip me on what I need to get my mini competitive in relation to parts. I've brought the universals and the shocks could anybody give me the part numbers I need for the gearbox.
