well ive bin into Rc for quite a long time but just recently got back into it again, with bit char g and mini z and epoch, anyway i was looking in the M-chasis section and i had a look at a pic of sum guyz and i can swear that my porshe carrera tamiya car has the same chasis. am i right that there is a red porshee carrera. is there anywhere i can go to see a selection of these cars and car pick mine out from them. how much are these worth? thanx

i think the red porsche carerra chassis you have is the ff01 or something fwd chassis. it looks practically the same. slot surfer built a regular car using that piece. but im not sure. are you talking about the grey chassis like on pg's car? check the tamiya site if you wanna know what you have. and i dont think these cars are worth all that much.

ok i found out what it is

its a M-02L the red porsche. im happy ive found out its an m-chassis. i wanna no where to get some good stuff for it like bodies, wheels, tires and chassis parts. i need a few parts like the front parts of the chassis. any idea where i can find them?? i wanna do my car up a bit. thanx m8

m02L, thats practically the same as the m01 and m02. the L means you have the longer front end piece, you have a kinda weird wheel base so its hard to find bodies for it. what you probably should do is either convert your car to a regular m02 so you can use the 210 mm wheel base bodies, or the m02m so you can use the 225 mm wheel base. for wheels you can use either the hpi mini wheels or the tamiya wheels. for hop up parts, youd go with the ones labled "m-chassis" for instance, the heatsink and aluminum steering joints and universals. you can find most of this stuff online (ebay) because the older m-chassis is discontinued and parts are harder to come by. let me know exactly what you need and ill tell you the best places to get them.

OK M8 so how exacly wound i convert it?? what im looking fo are new wheels ( chromos

) tires and a new body or 2. im not sure if you can buy tihs piece but the front part of my chasis is damaged sligtly, where the bumper screws on it snapped a little. could i get a replacement for that? also last thing im looking for is a motor between around 28 and 18. thanx

.

one more thing , is there any websites were i can just read about ESC's and motors and turbo's and FETs and stuff and learning about modding them and that.i no that they also sell external turbo mods for my mini z, could i use the same thing for my ESC at the moment? thanx

to convert the car to an m02-m or m02, then you would just replace that piece of your car that is broken. you would look for the part titled m02-m a parts tree or m-chassis a parts tree. the m chassis a parts will be easier to come across. for chrome wheels, youd probably want to go with the hpi ones, or the minicooper plated wheel set. they should still sell these at any local hobby store. your motor choice is strange, its like any stock motor all the way to mod motors, i would go with a 19 turn. i run the reedy spec and its real nice. for standard cars, you dont really need turbo kits or whatever, just get a good esc and youll be fine. for with the novak esc's, youll be looking to spend around 100+

911 Carrera M02L uses standard "touring car" size wheels, although the rears have bigger (3mm?) offset - they are 'wider' away from the axle/nut.

Tamiya also has the Merc SLK and Porsche Boxster in the M02L, so these bodies will drop-fit. Should also be able to fit anything from the M04L eg Honda S2000, BMW M Roadster and the M03L Toyota bB and New Mini shells with minor mods.
