i wish they would rerelease this one, like they did with the sand scorcher. I had one as a kid and loved it. We got burglarized and I never saw it again! |
I think they will eventually. They have the molds for the parts. Hopefully they don't put that body on a modern version of that chassis though! |

Yes, is it a HPI bus body on the M-03?
I looked into getting a used M chassis, but after measuring the rear tires the M chassis was too wide.
The receiver is in the front, the esc is in the back, and the battery sits lengthwise. The diff & pinion gears are from the M-05 diff. , and a Integy 85T crawler motor. The front Fuchs are cut back on the inside, Sand Scorcher tires, the rear Fuchs are widened by making an aluminum inner wheel half. I bought the rear tires on ebay, not sure of the brand. |
OK, here is same bus body on M-02 chassis..........
fits fine no tyre rubbing.....fits fine on M chassis. 
& BODY front almost on the ground.......
but using tyre 2" fr. & 2 1/4 " rear.......
& offset all to inside......
but usin 3" scorcher , etc. > need to drag em IN.!
& pic of chassis.......

Like I said! Looks like it will have very few changes compared to the original.
