[M06 Pro or HPI Cup Racer?]

I also spotted an HPI Lancia Stratos shell and bought it as well. I have heard that these are a tough fit on the M-chassis, but if I can't make it work I'll save it for something else. It was too cool to pass up.

I also bought the HPI Stratos, hoping it would fit the M06, but it didn't, so I had to buy the M05RA and fit it to that! Shucks!

Completed the build, with my son in one Sunday afternoon.

Just need to complete electrics, and take some pix.

[New M06 Pro]

Yes kit springs will fit.

You also have a wide range of other options too, 53163, 53333, 53630, 31, 32, 33 & 49382 (whew, I'm sure that's not all of them either)

The M06 Pro kit comes with 42168, the same spec as 53333, but black overall.

I really appreciate your info.

I'll research a bit more before deciding where to spend my money.

[New M06 Pro]

The 84118 set doesn't come with springs, but they are cheaper generally. If you already have springs then they will suit you fine.

And they're a lovely black Ltd. Ed. finish too

Black is good.

Would I be able to use the kit springs on these dampers?

[New M06 Pro]

+1 for the M chassis TRF's, they are superb.

Thanks for your steer.

Having looked around Ebay, it looks like either Tamiya 54000 or 84118 damper set then.

[New M06 Pro]

My M06 Pro is at the PO waiting for me to collect it tomorrow.

Can't wait!!

This my first M chassis.

I've built 2 DF03's and started a Hilift F350.

This will have the Renault body, but I'm yet to purchase it.

Can anyone please advise on what alternative Dampers can be fitted to replace the brittle see-thru ones?

[Df03 Diff Tightening]

GPM #DF3008: Alloy Front Gear Box Lower Mount With Screws (from asiatees.com). 2 of the screws are too long and need 1mm filed from them in this set. Stops the hinges breaking off the front gearbox mount. This will move the stresses of a crash to the tub however, breaking the tub where it mounts to the front diff.

I can support this theory. Having upgraded to Alloy front gearbox lower mount following break of the plastic one, my son's friend's lack of control caused this...........

Fortunately a spare chassis was quickly sourced from Time Tunnel, and I had the satisfaction of completing a quick rebuild.

[Df03 Bumber Upgrade?]

Does any1 know of a good larger sized bumper upgrade for the DF03?

I can recommend the T Bone Racing bumpers. Available for Front and rear of the Dark Impact (DF03).

Made and sold by T Bone Racing in USA.

Search on Ebay for Dark Impact Bumpers or seller - tbrbumpers

They currently have Front & rear set on Ebay. Made from Nylon. described as virtually indestructible, they will replace foc if you do manage to break it.

Supplied with countersunk screws.

I have this fitted to both of my son's Dark Impacts.

We have managed to break two, usually by full speed crash into the kerb, and have received replacements without question.

I can provide more pictures or if you want to email T Bone direct pm me for their email address.

[JET HOPPER???]

A fella called Nigel just e-mailed me with some great pictures of the Jet Hopper 2 ;-

That will be me.

Glad the pictures were of interest.

I've since moved on to DF03, Dark Impact, and have built two for my sons, who still want more speed.

I enjoy the build, and have now started a F350.

So does anyone have pictures of their Jet Hopper?
