The unshielded bearings should last ok, particularly indoors.


For Tamiya shells, here are 2 good ones:

The seller is Rich who races at the club (drives the black/white Cougar). If you message him you should be able to pay/collect at the club.


Here are some other good ones:

For the shells that require an offet, you may need wheel hex extensions or offset wheels.

Cheers mate I'm loving the civic shell. 1 more thing rubber or metal shields on the bearings...

You have been most helpful thanks

[Chris56]

The Civic shell does look good.

I run metal shielded bearings and haven't had any problems, rubber might be better though

Me to, not so impressed with the price though

I want the porsche one

[Chris56]

I quite like the Porka - motor is in the right place on the m06. Think Dave can do one for £22, but you also need 6mm offset rear wheels

Yeah or you could use Tamiya tg10 axles and the large hexes that come with the m03 will do the trick. Have to dig mine out !
