Tom's Supra 2004, mr02 RM -> MM conversion....

Like everyone else, I'm getting sick of the serious lack of mr02-MM bodies available. I bought a Tom's Supra 2004 autoscale and thought I'd hack it onto my mr02-MM chassis. It took a bit of sanding but in the end I'm quite happy with the conversion....







Current specs:

mr02 MM setup:
stock frontend, kingpins sanded down...
bearings, all round.
gandini racing foams, 8mm front & 11.5mm rear.
atomic MM motor mount with modified damper mount
atomic motor can, stock kyosho armature, plasma dash magnets, burnt in for 50 minutes in forward....
kyosho oil damper, spring removed.
thin Cf h-plate
GPM mr02 ball diff.
sanyo 800mah aaa's (japan)








So far she's still stock in the motor dept. Inside on my polished wooden flooarboards this chassis owns....

I have the Dynacity Supra as well. Pure SEX. Compared with the Motul Skyline which is just a pitbull waiting to take your lunch money.

me too

i also thought the RM's were the ones with sparse body selections. i want the endless 350z, but it's a RM, and that turns me off. i'm now waiting for the new ferrari ready set, that's the mini that'll get me into these racers finally (i've only got an OL now).

I know I had to dremel my chrome NSX body long ago when I converted it to a MM, which was when the Enzo was still the only MM body available.
