As title, what you got?

Hi Kevin, what do you have in mind? Trade or sales? Chassis, body or parts?

I've got a few M04 bits I might be persuaded to sell to thin out my collection - can provide photos on request.

M04-L 58303 VW Beetle - NIB kit

M04-L 58303 VW Beetle Body - New built, never run bodyshell in PS-3 Light blue.

Cheers,

Tim.

I got an M04 BMW Roadster chassis for £40- needs shocks and a shell - PM me if you want pics etc.

Needs a strip down and clean, just right for staying in with

Started life here; http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.a...5396&id=169 - all hopups still there except the shocks

that could be ideal twinset - it's for a RWD conversion and i'll be making it wider with TL-01 arms to use an HPI 190mm shell.

cheers for the list of parts Tim, i'm not fussed about it being NIB and a complete or built set as long as it's a cheap basis for a project and almost everything i need is there.

No worries, keep us posted on the project build! Do you mean a 4WD conversion? The M04 is already RWD...

Cheers,

Tim

i got one from Andy (TWINSET)

i mean a conversion to a 257x190mm chassis while keeping it RWD, i can see this being a slow process

i'll definately put a thread up though

Making an M-04 chassis fit under a touring car size shell is actually not too tricky, as its a well designed chassis thats very modular, plus parts are interchangeable with the likes of the TL-01. I have done it a couple of times now and you don't need that many parts, plus the final chassis still performs quite well and is very light compared to an equivalent 4WD chassis.

I wish I had seen this earlier as I have a whole stack of complete and part complete NIP M-04 part sprues that I bought exactly for doing this kind of conversion that I will ebay shortly as I never got round to it!!!!! If you are short of any particular bits let me know.

Good luck with the conversion.

I don't have any parts for the conversion so I could be interested, the chassis should be with me by early next week, I still need the arms to widen it and some spacers to lengthen it. Let ne know what you've got
