Building A Replacement RWD M-08 Concept Chassis For The 2021 Tamiya Escort Mk2 Rally RC Car 58687
In this video, I get ready for the new Jan 2021 Tamiya, Escort Rally Mk2 Release by building a replacement higher-end, rear-wheel-drive M-08 Concept chassis that will replace the basic kits 4WD MF-01X chassis. As I'm sure you know, the Ford Escort Rally was a rear-wheel-drive car back in in the day, so I felt it could be worth swapping out the chassis for more tail-out gravel action.
Over the coming weeks, we will build and run the Escort Rally on the two chassis and find out if it's a worthwhile upgrade or should you spend your money upgrading the kit MF-01X chassis instead.

Is it just me or is the video quality (and editing) getting better and better each video.👌
Absolutely awesome video presentation with this project Gavin! Very detailed and informative. Please keep up the great work as it's genuinely appreciated. 👍
Those Allen keys on the bottoms of the arms are called your DROOP SETTINGS it’s for cornering and jumping
The best looking M-chassis so far!
This is a great kit. I race mine on carpet track. Drives very good.
Cant wait for it! Great videos, went on a binge when I found your channel!
Oh boy are you in trouble now! Not another box!!!!!
I thought the M08 was great quality and a fun build. It was a first to have to break out the drill bit. The TA07 was the first car for me that I had to cut away some plastics from a Tamiya. Great video!
excellent work with this vid
Cant wait to see what you make of the escort Mk II.
Nice Build & Upgrade Chassis
The Plastics on the m07/m09 are some on the best tamiya have produced. Strong yet flexible. Unlike the usual rigid shiny glass like material
Great channel! I'm around same age as you, had the Grasshopper when I was around 14 years old. Girlfriend got me the Hornet re-release for Christmas, currently building that. Love the music tracks as well...
Great video as always Gavin. I really enjoy watching your channel. Its good to know you also make mistakes! 😃
Looks a cool chassis that Gav. 👍
Nice Car 🥰
No Prep Drag racing is Taking Off here in America, I almost got sucked in but then decided it will be less pathetic to race alone on a closed circuit track, than in a straight line. So I have decided to build the M-08 Concept and get the Mk2 1800 Body when it becomes available, I would rather Rally about the countryside myself.
What A GREAT idea!💡
in australia we call M0 chassis as bricks on wheels very resilient
I really like the look of the M-08, I'm planning on getting one later this year. I'm going for an MX-5/Eunos bodyshell, my plan is to make it like a touring car a la Gran Turismo ;) And it'll be bright yellow too!!
