M07 210mm?

[phiber_optik 86]

Quick question is there any easy way to make an M07 210mm?

Yeah racing make a rear upright that moves the back axle even further forward from 225mm to 210mm. Only problem is the rear chassis overhang it creates isn't suitable for short rear bodies like the Mini.

I had seen those but I want to throw a phatbody mini shell on to it, so maybe that'll not work. Might be stuck with a M05 when the time comes.

Is the phatbody not 225mm? One of the aftermarket mini bodies is mid length... 🤔

Actually, I dont think I should really offer advice on which m-chassis you should buy next 😬

Slidoligy do a 225mm Mini body

My Phat body Mini was 210mm (in reality was more like 208mm as I shimmed the rear arms as forward as I could to get it to sit right with the wheels). I used an M-08 as I like RWD and for the wheelbase.

Maybe it was L&L Models I was thinking of, they do a 225mm Mini body.

So tonight a choice was made it was neither the M07 or the M05 I was screwing through some local adds and I managed to get an M03 and 2 TL01 Chassis for £15 quid each lol. 

The M03 looks relatively complete except it's missing the servo saver and steering links. In the next few days it'll be stripped and cleaned.

Will do a slow build thread.
