Mercedes-benz Slk M Chassis

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

I recently purchased the Mercedes-Benz SLK M Chassis (model #58202) off EBAY (for only $50 USD). I have never owned an on-road runner, let alone an M-02L chassis. I was wondering if anyone can help me out and tell me what kind of hop-ups I can get for this car? I'm looking for bearings (what size?) and shocks (what size?) as my first hop-ups, and then maybe a motor upgrade, and different wheels/tires.

Thanks in advance, much appreciated.

Hi, Welcome to the M-Chassis family. :(

At first you should add full ball bearings to the car.

You can find complete sets for the M02/02 based cars cheap on ebay.

Try WalawalaStore on ebay. His ebay name is joaquimassis . He sells High Quality Bearing Sets for all Tamiya cars at excellent prices. Search for M01/02.

Next step are oil dampers. You need one set of Super Mini Mini C.V.A. dampers No. 50746. They do a perfect job.

About the motor. I wouldnt go over a 23Turn motor. More than enough for a M02 based car. For the wheels and tires. You can choose from the big range of tires and wheels for the normal touring cars, because the M-Chassis Mercedes uses the same sizes.

For a complete list of Tamiya Hop Up options for the M01/02 Chassis click here:

Some of these Hop Ups like the Front and rear Stabilizer set arent easy to find nowadays.

But most of them pop up on ebay from time to time.

Cheers
