I think you can get a rear mount motor in the MR-02 as well. I believe its the suspension and possibly how the batterys are mounted...

There are several other differences as well, the chassis for example is an obvious one. I can show you mine next time we have the chance.

Hi there.

The deifference you point ou between the MR-01 and 02 is not quite accurate, Jim. The MR02 has both versions RM for Rear Motor and MM for Mid Motor. The RM seems to be the most popular and easiest for finding parts. MM is OK but body choices are realtively limited comparatively speaking. I have both versions and you can convert from one model to another quickly, too. Both have different handling and tuning characteristics. I hope this helps. Ciao.

So what are the differences between an 01 and 02?

The ESCs are quite different. I have an MR-01 and the ESC does not feature brakes. Rather, it gives you instant reverse which is not nearly as nice for racing purposes. The MR-02s I've borrowed have braking just as our regular R/C car ESCs. Then, if you really need reverse, you can access it by pressing forward on the trigger twice.

hey jody do yours have brakes, or direct reverse?

If Jody's are the same one's he bought a few years ago and ran at Barry's then they are MR-01's. MR-01 has two batteries mounted on each side, MR-02 has all four batteries across the bottom. MR-01's have a greater turning radius, MR-02 has less but is a smoother ride out of the box. Some MR-01's have reverse with no break and later ones have separate reverse and break like all the MR-02 models have.

I dont know for sure, no brakes likely, just reverse if I remember correctly. I dont really use brakes in 10th scale or 12th scale electric so I am the wrong guy to ask.

Or brakes in Nitro although he "claims" it was a runaway....

haddow · January 04, 2006, 01:07:33 PM

No I actually use brakes in nitro, except they are turned way down so they can not lock-up, even when the car is still turning a bit.

brakes are for wussies.

jarrodH · January 04, 2006, 06:21:54 PM
