RE: ultimate M chassis thread
it depends on wether you want handling and performance, or a solid, longer lasting shell (lexan is lighter = better performance), (longer lasting = ABS)

RE: ultimate M chassis thread
All i have to do now is mount the axle of my choice and paint, edges are sealed, hitch is firmly attatched. so i just need to figure out which axle i can use, if i can get a good bracket i can use the rc18 wheel assemby. Not sure what would be the best alternate unless i use legos...

RE: ultimate M chassis thread
I just broke my 2nd clear blue shock cap on my M-03R, my mate hit my side, then pushed my into a wall at high speed, it had no chance 
it now looks like i'm gonna end up with TRF blue ones, they are very expensive though, for shocks

there's always the option of the cheap CVA dampers! the TRF's (hard blue coating) look cool though..

RE: ultimate M chassis thread
does anyone think that the M-03R will handle the MM7700, or would the MM5700 be better?

RE: ultimate M chassis thread
guessing the 5700 but i don't know how tough the drivetrain is.
Don't know if anyone got to read this but we had a 5.6 mag quake, lost my memory card, gettin another shipped out.
Got the lid today perfect fit, got the first two layers of blue on, top is white, bottom blue then up top have the red "VF-101 REAPERS" sticker.
