ben89 Posted August 18, 2011 Author Share Posted August 18, 2011 nice one cheers, cant see it being much stronger, the section where it has vents have been cut out on the silver one.... kind of annoying but oh well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe of loath Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Different versions of the same kit I believe, I think the silver one is the newer one, but they are identical otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Thats all baloney Silver one was the first one, the short wheelbase M03. The black one was the M03M or M03L depending on the bodyset you bought it with (M03M was Suzuki Swift, M03L was BMW Mini Cooper) but you could make any chassis any length (short, medium or long) with the right length spacers. Neither is better than the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe of loath Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 But they are identical, right? Just the black one came with spacers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 The black ones were supposed to be a bit stronger (the front ''shock tower'' area was common to go) but I've seen just as many as each break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben89 Posted August 21, 2011 Author Share Posted August 21, 2011 ive not got any spacers, does the mini shell fit with or without them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben89 Posted August 21, 2011 Author Share Posted August 21, 2011 can anyone help me? i have a complete m02 chassis, but all the m03 bits i bought the otherday will not make a complete car, i need to know if the gears will be a straight swap and i have all the arms but i dont have the pins so will the m02 ones fit??

Garry Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Nothing really carries over from the M01/M02 to the M03. All the wishbones, hubs, driveshafts, gears etc are different. The BMC/Rover Mini Cooper body is shortest wheelbase (210mm) so fits without any spacers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben89 Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 ahh bugger, i need gearing, diff, and dogbones as far as i know then hmmm... will have to check out what else i need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe of loath Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Might as well shop around for a cheap roller if you need that. I got a nearly RTR, reasonably hopped up mini (just missing a receiver) for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
