This car started it all for me and won't be traded or sold. It was a present from my girlfriend at Christmas 2002, but I've never got around to adding it to the showroom. The incarnation you see here is the result of a rebuild using a stack of new and hop-up parts that I've been collecting for a while. The suspension is an Eagle 'M03 competition kit', the bumper is also Eagle. Wheels are the classis Tamiya M-chassis alloys and the car also has Q/R battery holder, carbon gear shafts, CVA super-mini shocks (might get some alloy ones), M03 heatsink, front universals (assembly type - man, are they fiddly!) and full ball bearings. Motor is a Tamiya sport-tuned.

There is a NIB body set waiting to be done when I can decide on a colour scheme, and then the decision on whether to run it or not...

I'm more of a m01 & m02 fan myself. /but now seeing this I think my Cooper might need a bit more spanking.

Where did you get your aluminum front suspension arms. I've been looking around for them with little success. Any help you could provide would be much apreciated.
Thanks!

All of the aluminium suspension parts were part of the Eagle M03 hopup kit which is now discontinued. You may be lucky on ebay - good luck!
