We have the oportunity to get some Mini Van/Traveller body shells made up to suit Tamiya R/C Mini's. Cost will be $40ea if we get more than 20 pre orders.

These shells will be made up from an existing RARE shell that was brought into Aus from Germany. We don't know the origin of the shell, but no others have been found!

Will fit the Tamiya M03 chassis, which is the "classic Mini". Will also fit the M03L, which is the BMW Mini, but you will have to take out the chassis stretch piece.

Here is a pic of the original (obviously comes unpainted).

A tamiya 1/10 mini has a 210mm wheelbase. Any M-03 variant (tamiya BINI, swift, M3, S2000) will fit with a quick change to the chassis length, as Poeee said, remove the spacer. :D

I might be interested, the box my RC Mini came in says M03, so I assume it fits :) How hard would it be to post?

Shouldn't be too hard to post off.

Looks like we are getting some interest here and i'm sure we'll get interest from RC clubs as there is an M03/L only class. So hopefully this will go ahead!

OK My BINI has 210 wheel base that is 105 wide It is a Dickie brand
If that will fit I'll take one. What is the "spacer" the only thing I can see that looks removeable is about 1/2" under the front bumper

Doesn't apply to you, the spacer can be found in some Tamiya brand cars.
