Singapore_959 18 Posted February 28, 2010 has anybody ever fitted one the kamtec bodyshells to an m03 Well it depends on which shell. The VW splitty shell fits the short chassis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bugjammer 2 Posted February 28, 2010 I seem to remember Dazmeister fitted one to an M chassis oops sorry that was an m02 http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.a...29442&id=91 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hopperboy 0 Posted March 1, 2010 the 205 or the vw golf mk1 Yes, the VW Golf Mk1 will fit to an M05 but not sure about an M03. Be warned though, it looks very odd on the M-chassis as you have to trim some of the rear arch extension away. The version we've got is lexan and whilst it is OK for the money it has proved hopelessly inadequate at taking the punishment that racing in the lower heats dishes out ie, we don't hit anything but everybody else on track seems intent on hitting us!

TA-Mark 195 Posted March 1, 2010 The V12 bodies should fit. M01/02/03 can be assembled to 208mm wheelbase. The V12 Escort Mk1 body I have measures approx that wheelbase (202mm by my measurements). M04 is the only one you need to make up new chassis plates for to get it to this shorter wheelbase. I shortened my M04 to 202mm to fit neatly under a Lunchbox body and the Kamtec V12 Mk1 Escort in ABS (used the lexan body of the same as the window glass).

hotshot kid 1 Posted March 2, 2010 has anybody ever fitted one the kamtec bodyshells to an m03 yes, fitted a kamtec mk1 escort shell to my m03, had to shorten the chassis by 8mm for a decent fit, and changed it from fwd to rwd..it is a mk1 escort so it had to be done!!!!
