The problem is that the MA015 and MR015 are two very different chassis, one AWD, one RWD. The wheels that come with the AWD Audi R8 will not fit on your MR015 no matter what motor mount you use. The body will fit, but not the wheels. You can always fit your own wheels to it (I suggest the Kyosho RE30 replicas if you can find them), but you will be on your own whenever you adapt an AWD Autoscale to a RWD Mini-Z chassis.

Btw I am working on a 3d model of a 2007 Lamborghini Gallardo Superlaggera (from forza(and yes it is legal)) I was wondering using Shapeways http://www.shapeways.com/search?q=mini-z (like this man did) if I could use my model for a mini-z? (yes after making it according to specs (mm)).

Sincerely,

Btw my favorate car in the whole world is the Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Superlaggera - http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/...r_1607707c.jpg

I know this is weird posting 4 times in a row but I think this is a needed question... The Aston Martin Racing DBR9 that I gave a link for earlier in a post, it lacks character. (if you know what I mean) the Subaru Impreza WRX and Ford Focus have charecter, but the Aston really... does'nt (in my mind) yes... it has astounding looks, but it's a bit like a Alpha Romeo 8C it looks great but it is horrible in the corners+strights. I guss what I am trying to say is.. is there a body besides the Subaru (not wide tire+MA10) the Focus (not wide tire) and Audi R8 LMS (MA10) that has Charecter and wide grip?Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure what you're getting at but the DBR9 has character, how would you know if you've yet to drive it? It is not a particularly fast body, that much is true though. Get a Mosler if you need grip, but keep in mind most come unpainted.

So I was out roaming around on the "Net" and I stumbled on a guy with a 2WD Miniz (ferarri 599xx shell) drifting http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bqmi1W_yMKA and I was amazed... My "first love" is drifting and the reason I got a mr015 was because a. I knew nothing about z's and b. they tend to be a bit too high priced for my budget xD! ( you all already know this) but you can attach a gyro to your car and it will Auto counter-steer to some degree. I was wondering if you all knew a. where to find one and how much it costs. and b. if it will attach to my MR015, because that would be just amazing! (im liking the a. and b. stuff xD!) anyway thanks in advance for all of the endless assistance

I was about to be seriously impressed, then I saw the word "gyro".

The TRP gyro is the better deal at $30-ish, should work the same as the $60 Kyosho gyro. But better yet, learn to drift the 03 without the gyro, it's stupid hard but when you get decent it's very rewarding.

After PNWC I will pull the M3 GTR back out to have another crack at it... best 2WD drifting body available for Mini-Z.

Good Luck with the PNWC hope you do well! (if you are racing)

I have a question... what makes a body good for drifting?
and is the Ferarri 599xx any good?

A gyro is unlikely to plug and play on a MR015 unless it has a 2.4GHz board.

The 599xx body is quite popular for its width/stability while still being agile...it has been surpassed by the Mosler and Audi.

But then you need the MR-03 board right?
And you need to modify the chassi tomake holes?

What are your thoughts on this shell... ( also could you tell me what the F-R wheel widths are?)

I hope you're not planning to race with that....

Black is the most difficult color for you and other racers to see.

Don't know much else about it.
