    Me new toy

    As my misses is so good she went and brought me the m03 chassis tamiya mini I was after I thought I would take a few pictures before I go and run it as this will be the only time its clean

    Full size deatiled piccy This is the first radio controlled car I have built in years!! Loads of hopups on this one too. I wanted something light and small and this is the smallest tamiya do. Wheel base is just 210mm!!

    Aluminum motor heatsink


    Blinging!! But not for long


    Rear Stabliser bar, Super grippy tamiya tyres


    Front end. Stabliser bar, Buildable universal shafts (inside gearbox, Ball diff, Carbon gear shafts)


    Aluminum uprights, Aluminum kingpins, Aluminum wheels, Aluminum wheel nuts, Fully ball raced through out, Aluminum oil filled shocks and tuned springs


    Quick release battery holder


    Not the tamiya shell but a HPI one I brought and did really quickly hence the messy finish. Just going to use this one the get used to the car and set it up right






    And the reason for such a little chassis???


    Lexan mk1 body


    Going to be the first fwd mk1

    looks nice! if your wisbones are the same both ends, you might be able to swop the steering, make your mk1 rear drive, if you reverse the motor wires.
