I just traded my Mini-Z for a M03l...

I plan on converting it to RWD... then making an MR2, Stratos, Datsun 510, R5 Turbo, 1000 Abarth, Alpine A110... or other. It seems like all the bodies I like are for the M-Chassis :P

cool, i just ordered shimizu F103 rubber tires for my group C. Group C tires are becoming extinct again, and I can wear out tires pretty darn quick, requiring me to lower the ride height as I drive.

maybe some track time soon!!

I just modified the wing again, two long screws holding the lower spoiler to the upper spoiler support making the whole assembly very very stiff.

I haven't driven the C car since I wore out the tires early last month, I love this car!

why not just get a M04 chassis... and swap the partsover, they are like only $10. Im planing to build one up with the ABC celica body

well got the F103 rubber tires and used the ABC body (will post pics, already bruised) I am amazed how well the tires work, soft in rear med up front, tons of grip in the rear, could use more up front, able to do controlled power-slides, the new body is a little more stable and predictable, painted black i nick-named it "the shadow car" it is FLAT like a pancake too.

maybe some track time soon it will be a force to be reckoned with. I'm looking into a F103 now, I will mount a Group-c body right away because it is unbelievable the difference in grip and stability vs a stock F1 body, its like a magnet compared to a ice cube.

flysky isn't bad, but I have killed a few REC already, they don't like water or really bad impacts.

Well I do neither- I just lose parts and strip gears often
