RE: ultimate M chassis thread
I have plenty of M-chassis'!
Here is some of my collection - 2 M04's and an M03-R
I know all the insides and outsides of these chassis and I'm always happy to help out!

Sun in the UK - I had to be very quick!
I have never tun the M03R, I stole the shocks off it for my TA05 project, kept the aluminium uprights etc. I saw no advantages over the other M03 I have (no pics, sorry!) it has a ball diff, totally ballraced and all sorts of other hop-ups. I found it worked ok with a 19T, but I don't want to wreck the tires too quick! I have some slicks for it, haven't fitted them yet.

Here is mine - no mods other than the HPI wheels and tires. Mostly a shelf queen, bought it for the body.

For the Beetle it is a M-03L - long wheel base. I don't think it would fit, but you could try.

RE: ultimate M chassis thread
the beetle was an M-02L/M-04L so i dont know if it would line up with the M-03 body posts.
them wheels are here: http://www.hpieurope.com/gallery_dis...=tcwhl&lang=en
i have them in black, but remember you can only fit one special made (HPI) tyre to it.. so if you like a certain tyre its tough luck.

The new Civic is available from Team Atlas, who make an M-chassis-sized 4wd chassis. It fits perfectly on an M03 though; as you can see
I want that Ferrari now....

Do the Tamiya M chassis use standard 26mm touring car wheels?
