Mr.Pink

i think once i get my Mini in to racing shape iwill get the falcon running again . I have a few spares and every thing to makeit run . It was hardly used at all . the bottom of the chassis is not even scratched . It need a new body though and a wing . It even has the original tires and rims on it still , although the rears are bald . I post a pic soon . because right now it is in a box disasemballed . I may throw some better tires , a esc and better shocks on it and race it . I know that i will not come in last . but may not win . What can I do about those plastic dogbones in the rear ?

ok , just wondering because i bought this used and didn't know what it had to begin with . thanks

I am rebuilding my M03 and was wondering if this is a Ball diff or gear diff ? and what kind of matinece should I do to it ?

I didn't think it was worth anything , oh well back in the storage room it goes after I strip the silver can motor off it for a back up for my mini .

I am lookin for some cheap M03 shocks , not the flouine coated TRF ... ones . I just want some non friction based shocks that I can adjust ride hieght and change oils and springs . Cheap is the key here . So if you could tell me which ones work that would be great , they don't have to be Tamiya either .

So my first rc was a tamiya falcon with a MSC and no other upgrades , the body is trashed . Is this thing worth any $$$ ? If it is I will keep it , if it is not then I will keep it and rebuild it to running state and race it against modern electric buggies and trucks and see how I do . Since most of the races are won by skill not the kit . So what ya think ?

ah.. i see now , thank you

clamp on ? now i am not sure we are talking about the same thing anymore . could you give me further info ?

I found the mini cooper manual , it basically says that the part i am lookin for comes on a parts tree ( 50736) , so where could I order that from ? Or are there many models that use this part ? ie: any 1/10 tamiya model

thanks , I don't have the manual , so can anyone tell me what Part number i need ?

On my M03 cooper , there are they hexagon shaped nuts that go over the axles ( and pin ) . They are supposed to fit into coresponding hexagon holes on my rims . But They wont go in , 2 of them are cracked a tiny tiny bit . So if that makes them expand then my problem is solved , but if that don't matter , then what can I do to get them in ? and what is the part number I need to order new ones ? or the what equivalent will do ?

so i can't seem to fit a 3300mah pack into my mo3 cooper . Can I even do it ? and if so , how ? Secondly , why wont the hexagon things that go onto the axle ends with the pin , go into the hexagon hole on the inside of my rims ? they are the original mini cooper rims . they will go into the set of 1/10touring car rims and there the same size hole . but I could only get one hexagon nut into one rim , none of the others . am i missing sometin?

Does anyone have anymore info about how I would go about doing that ?

Umm... I don't know what they are because I bought the car used , and it came with it . They are good for newly paved ashfault , but are slippery on carpet tracks . BTW- those are Full size Touring Car rims ( 1/10 scale , not " mini " sized like the stockers )The body has been cut to allow suspension travel

sounds good , i already use deans ultra plugs .

I just bought a m03 Mini cooper , I was wondering what can be done as far as making the stock motor as good as it can be . ie: lubrication ? etc. Also , what else should I be cleaning or lubricating on the chassis or motor ? Thanks.

oh I see. thanks

hmmm... i thought i was a member . is there a different type of member ? any way , iam tryin to get pics of the chassis up too , just need to clean it and stop playin with it .

here are some pics . It has full ball bearings and a esc . TC tires aswell , the body is rough but it is just the runner , i hope to have a nice detailed body soon , and too add super cva's and a ball diff. http://www3.telus.net/public/a6a60430/PICT00033.JPG http://www3.telus.net/public/a6a60430/PICT00044.JPG How do I make a gallery ?

I only just found out about this site , it has lots of m03 Mini cooper infomation and is by far the best forum . But.... are there others that I may not be aware of ? I have googled for it but it is a odd topic to search for and does not return many hits . I just want to know all I can . Thanks , and don't take it as a offence to this site/forum .

Thanks but I see the pics but I think my computer is messed up this is the text I get - ‚ðƒxÂ[Æ’X‚Æ‚·‚郊ƒA‹ì“®‚Q‚v‚cÆ’~Æ’bÆ’hÆ’VÆ’bÆ’vÆ’cÂ[ƒŠƒ“ƒOÂ@‚q‚sÂ|‚O‚PÆ’Rƒ“ƒoÂ[Æ’Wƒ‡ƒ“ÂAÆ’Sƒ€ƒ^Æ’Cƒ„‚ÌÂi•à ‚ I wish there was one of those chassis for the m03's

Is that site in japanese ? because i can't read it , I just get a bunch or wierd symbols , not japanese text . How can I read / look at it ?

thanks , I wonder if there is such a chassis for the M03 ? I can't really read that site .But oh well . Maybe I will be succesful in making my own carbon fiber chassis .

Thanks , I just bought a M03 , not this one , I have pics up soon .

yeah i was not sure if it was a m03 chassis , but I knew it was a MiniCooper chassis of some sort . Would be nice to have . I may make one for a M03 and cut a chassis out of carbon fiber , anyone have a template ? or something
