My I-Series MR-02 Conversion.
I thought I'd post the process in converting my I-Series to the MR-02 chassis. When I saw the PN MR-02/MR-015 Front Tower Bar Conversion Set I knew I wanted to try this for myself so here's how it went.
I prepared the MR-02 chassis by snipping off the king pin holders with a pair of diagonal cutters then, after protecting parts of the chassis that might be damaged with duct tape, I filed the remaining portion of the king pin brackets flush with the chassis. http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r...s/ismr02-1.jpg http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r...s/ismr02-2.jpg I pulled the I-Series PCB & servo from the original chassis and installed it in the MR-02 chassis. http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r...s/ismr02-3.jpg http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r...s/ismr02-4.jpg Time to start installing the PN parts to continue the conversion. http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r...s/ismr02-5.jpg http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r...s/ismr02-6.jpg A shot of the Front Tower Bar Conversion Set installed. http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r...s/ismr02-7.jpg I started with a 9 tooth pinion, this pic shows that there's a lot of clearance left between the T-post and the motor for installing larger pinion gears. http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r...s/ismr02-8.jpg A few pics of the completed chassis. http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r...s/ismr02-9.jpg http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r.../ismr02-10.jpg http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r.../ismr02-11.jpg http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r.../ismr02-12.jpg Finally the chassis with the #29 body. http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r.../ismr02-13.jpg http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r.../ismr02-14.jpg http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r.../ismr02-15.jpg I haven't had too much time to run it yet, but what little I have it seems very smooth and stable. Hopefully I'll have time to really give it a good hard run soon. :D For general information, here's a Parts List. ;) Kyosho: MZF203GM MR02 Chassis Set MZ202 MR02 Small Parts Set MZ203B MR02 Front Suspension Parts Set MZW207 Top Damper Set MZW50 MR015 Tie Rod Set MZW206 Ball Diff Set for MR02/MR015 PN Racing: MR2015 Front Tower Bar Set MR2010 MR02 Stainless Steel King Pin MR2052-15 Camber Steering Knuckle 1.5 Deg MR2056 Front Spring Cup (3 pair) MR2058 MR015/MR02 Front Racing Suspension Spring Set MR2099 Motor Mount MR2033 MR02 Graphite T-Bar Set 4-6mm (3 pieces) MR2061 Multi Length Graphite Disc Damper Set 400309 Racing Alloy Pinion Gear 9T shop.TinyRC.com: 16570 Mini-Z Racing Dry Bearing Set - 7 Pieces Miscellaneous: 2x4mm Button Head Stainless Steel Hex Screws 2x6mm Button Head Stainless Steel Hex Screws 2x6mm Countersink Stainless Steel Hex Screws 2mm Alloy Lock Nuts |
