garthxv01 0 Posted December 22, 2019 New member here! Had a clodbuster back in the day and now getting back into RC - have a lunchbox and an xv01 (plus a rwd converted m chassis mini, but that doesn't work very well!) Based in Bournemouth, UK and will be picking everyone's brains shortly regarding lipo etc. Hi everyone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TurnipJF 9115 Posted December 22, 2019 Welcome! Tell us more about your M-chassis and the issues you are having with it. Perhaps we can help you to get it sorted! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Falcon#5 594 Posted December 23, 2019 Welcome. I'm also interested in your converted M-chassis. You aren't driving it in reverse with the body the other way around...? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Believe it or not, the M-03 works rather well like that, with a steering servo installed where the MSC servo would have been fitted originally. You can even set it up for 4-wheel steering by retaining the normal steering servo. That is exactly how my race-winning teapot racer is configured: 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mad Ax 9149 Posted December 24, 2019 Welcome @garthxv01 I'm based up in Wiltshire but I travel down to Bournemouth a lot. There's a fair bit goes on down your way - Bournemouth RC Trucker meet up one Saturday of every month on Castle Lane West, the Dorset Drift RC club meets every Friday eve in St. Leonards, and the South Hants Model Car Club have a permanent tarmac circuit near Hordle. There's a good community and some really friendly people in that part of the country Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tamiya is well represented and the OP's M-chassis would do well. Have a look for "splendid teapot racing" on YouTube. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
