Hi guys! At least I`ve got a M-03 chassis! After the experience with the M-05 I definitely love the M-03 much more! Thanks MAD-BEE (James) to inspire me!. The car is almost finished but I am waiting for some black wheels to complete it. More photos will follow soon.
Specs:
- Alloy motor mount
- Carbon rear shocks mount
- Tamiya GT motor 25T
- Tamiya TEU-104 esc
- 3 Racing arms set
- Foam front bumper
- Alloy knuckle set
- TL-01 bodyposts
- Oil filled shocks with TT-01 springs
- Fully ball raced

Thanks for the mention Stefano but must confess that it was Mallo (RACECRAFTERS) who opened the door for me and got me into the M03 mini originally! but thanks and pleased i inspired you buddy and to great effect looking at your new car! Nice job on this and loving the mods! red springs look wicked! These look great on display but most of all the M03s are ace to drive and don't forget they are good off road too!!
Well done and enjoy.
Cheers MAD-BEE James

Very nice, but what's wrong with a M-05?

Hi Max Power, not really something wrong but the steering system is too long winded and not precised in my opinion and doesn't look a great improvement of the M03 chassis. I would rate both the same but the M03 is cheaper! Thanks

Thank you James, just waiting for decent wheels and I shall run the car soon!

The Fiat 1000 Abarth was rear motor and rear wheel drive. Can you convert the chassis to RWD?

Hi kontemax, the Fiat 1000 (750cc. version) was my dad car, when I was in Iraly (talking about 40yrs ago!). Trust me you could feel all the engine vibration while sitting in the back but also the good push on the acceleration
In fact I don't understand why Tamiya did two cars RWD like Mini Cooper and Fiat 1000 using a FWD! why not the M04?? I built the car just because I love the Fiat 1000 body...you will forgive me if the motor is completely on the opposite direction

WOW! That is the meanest looking Fiat I've seen. Love the color scheme. Great job Stefano!

Thank you Steve! The bodyshell decals are all from scratch as hardly I do the 'box art'. Soon I shall update more photos of the car
just waiting for the wheel (from Hong Kong...)
