Man I'm glad to finally find somewhere that actually supports the m- chassis cars. I've had a m 01 mini cooper for a while... it was pretty beat and abused when I got it, but complete. I've been looking for parts and accessories for a while, and haven't found much of anything, except a HPI mini body, and a magazine that had parts and hop ups listed when they were brand new.

I've painted the body with a Union Jack in black, silver, and white, and mounted bigger wheels to it, because the mini ones were so hard to find.

Anyone using 1/12 scale parts or tires?

I found a General Lee body that would probably fit, but the thought of a Front wheel drive '69 Charger is pretty sick.

Now to search for info.

Hi mbartell

I love my series of M01 class. They really are way cool. They were such a big hit years ago. But all of my lder Mo series are display units now. I really got to post a my pictures here some time.

i run the older m01 chassis also. i use the m01-m front piece so i can use the 225 mm bodies. right now i ahve the hollowcarbon gear shafts, front universals, heatsink, ball bearings, aluminum steerting, quick release battery holder, tamiya aluminum kingpins, tamiya aluminum dampers, and stabilizer kit with hard in hte front softer in the rear. i run x patters in the frotn with less grippy tamiya stock wheels in the rear. this car is pretty nice, but im choosing to run my hpi mini pro right now. i also have a hopped up m02 chassis... i should really post pictures for it. but hopups on it as follows: tech racing RWD belt driven system, tech racing rear skid plate, hpi front and rear aluminum arms, i think kosei racing aluminum shocks, hpi carbon graphite chassis, kosei carbon graphite upper deck, tamiya aluminum steering, bearings, tech racing univerals.. and i think thats about it. its a sick looking car. running the mini cooper body with the jolly roger on top in black on white hood, black car.
