The Abarth 1000tcr shell will fit on the M03 and M04, you can pick an M03 up for less than about £40 fully built nowadays

Hmmm, shame about the logistics for me as if there was enough interest from other members we could of held a Fiat Forum 1/10th Fiat challenge.
Seems to be an awesome amount of tuning accessories available for this chassis range too.
Still tempted though it's such a cool looking little thing. Seems to be some other retro shells available too, not all genuine Tamiya but nice never the less.
I'm sure with some decent wood working skills and a vacuum former a decent Cinq/Sei shell could be knocked up too.

Think the TT01 is the new model of the TL01, I have a TL01 Subaru impreza with a Richard Burns shell on it from early 2000s new imprezas are TT01s IIRC bet the body dimensions are pretty much interchangeable tbf.
Tbf other than my used and abused Scooby I like my micro helis these days, do have a massive radio control Lego bulldozer th

Not for the short wheelbase models though I don't think?
This chassis series is much shorter than normal 1/10th although I think from a bit of searching Kyosho do something sililar too.
Most 190mm body shells with happily fit the TT01.
Ive been through about 6/7 shells in various designs. Im planning of getting my TT01e running above about 70mph on full trott after chrismas!!! Brushless power ftw :devil:
And I think, next year at Brooklands, we should find some concrete and have a 1/10th scale Fiat Grand Prix

Well I dug the Monster Pirate out of the garage today:
Could do with a good clean but it's still a complete monster
Shame I can't get any fuel for it locally. :bang:

Very nice, but what's that Mini shell doing on it.
Ah of course you're saving the Fiat shell for the special blue shiny racy one.
So do you race this with a club? If so what are the rules and limitations for batterys/motors etc?

But surely you can drive to another shop and get some Ziggy?
I'm stuck on a rock in the middle of the sea, it's not legal to import it without a license.
The only way I can get some is to go to the mainland with my car, stock up and bring it back on the ferry. LOL
Doesn't make it a very cost effective hobby.

To be honest I can't remember, only ever upgraded one of the motors to a sports tuned ? one...
Gonna try get them all working for this weekend....., shouldn't be too difficult, used to be able to completely strip and rebuild in no time at all...
Have had a few nitro powered cars before, a skyline and an impreza, but electric is just so much easier to upkeep and run....

Ah the Blue shiny one, we need pics! You should have ordered a Fiat shell too though.
