M-four chassis #9

I expected it to take me a very long time to find one of these, to be honest. I was browsing a local FB market page, and this came up. Certainly wasn't expecting to get one over here in NZ, that's for sure.

The price was a fair amount (at the time) but since some stuff was missing, I offered $100 less than asking. It came with the m-chassis drift tyres on 11 spoke wheels, and had a stealth mount kit fitted. For it to be original, it was missing the original rear dampers, the small battery mount , and some front body posts with both front and rear cross braces. I chased the original rear dampers through 4 people (as they got sold and sold and sold with a job lot of spares) but gave up in the end, as it looked like they were all in bits, and not all there anyway. I bought a set of #54000's and fitted those, they are pretty much the same save for the black soft springs. I found a place in the States selling two of the M-four body posts trees that come with the braces. I bought a 380 sport tuned motor, and fitted that. It came with an Eagle racing TA06 Spur mount.

I chucked on a set of new m-chassis 11 spokes, and some new 55mm slicks, with hard foams, and some lightweight kingpins (M05).
Even though the previous owner slung this around as a drifter, it's in remarkable condition. He apparently had a chassis protector sheet on it, and all the arms etc are mint.
I haven't torn it completely down yet, but plan to once I get a few more bits, (battery case, and maybe titanium screw set). Really lucky to have this in my M-chassis collection, to go with the others.
