M01 To M02 Conversion

[blackdogbro]

Hi all,

I have got a M01 chassis and would like to convert it to become a M02.

Can this be done with no extra parts?

Thanks in advance.

Think the steering servo rod is a different length - can't remember if it is longer or shorter on the M02,

Apart from that it is simply a case of assembling or switching the front and back parts round and putting the steering parts on the front, non steering parts on the back.

You will need to reverse the motor connections otherwise forwards will be backwards etc...

Check the manuals on TC for full details.

The only difference is the length of the steering rod, just take the suspension off one end and fit it on the other, remembering to swap the driveshafts over before you assemble it again You will need to make up a shorter steering link between the steering arms and the servo, a lot easier than trying to find the proper Tamiya part.

Then swap the body mounts over, unless you want to run with the body on backwards

I also make such a conversion from M01 to M02.

I found that M02 is more fun to drive.

Due to the play in various suspension components, the FWD is less precise in terms of steering.

Ofcourse I can hopup and reduce that but using the same component and make M02, the whole chassis is more drivable and precise.

That's good! Thanks for all the inputs!
