Thanks, Chris.

Is rcmarts mini body selection. And the Civic will fit. The Miata is the right length but the servo mount will foul the base of the windscreen.
And thats about it for M03M's I'm afraid.....

Indeed it will, problem is I think they're discontinued?
I remember someone else asking about them a few months back and Tamiya dont offer them as a spare any more. Officially listed as 'discontinued'
Maybe you'll find one somewhere sitting on a shelf? I checked all the major online stores and came up with nuthin there either. I think they're a pretty rare beast now.

The M04 is harder to drive as it can spin out if you pull the throttle too hard.

Since everything's so low, it also allows for more sportier bodies (Miata, for example) to be mounted.
