I knew I wasn't the only one that use's their current age or year of birth as a number choice on their RC cars. That little car looks like a lot of fun. I might look more into the M08 chassis. 👍

I always put 69 on my bodies, because I’m still immature at 31. lol

great job dude

Happy late Birthday! Glad you posted this. Very cool. Good job on the paint.

Hey Gavin, if you want to pay real homage to that MR2 driver, ABC Hobby does have the first and second generation MR2 bodies. I actually own a Mk1 (AW11), and I've got that body from them on my own M08, and it looks ACE!

That looks awesome

That is a good looking ride. Well done sir.

Looks Great 👍🏻

Nice paint job. 👍

Really nice that !

After sitting on the shelf for 2 years waiting on assembly, my M-08 Concept Escort project I finally just finished the chassis, and am putting the finishing touches on the Escort Body now.

Looks very smart , m-chassis are very cool, I just bought an unused m01 recently. At one of the clubs I race at a few of them use the fwd version m07 and there very nimble on track

I don't know how anybody could give this a thumbs down? That supposed to be what this hobby is based on! Building ir rig the way u see it! There's no wrong way to do it! And it's supposed to be supported as such! But I guess theirs haters in every group! At least it's only 4! LoL..

I've been racing this chassis for half the year. Its been hard work as I'm up against all the FWD cars. I love how you painted this body for it though

Yes! You finally have a car that you can bash lol!

Love how the body turned out. I race a M07r in the mini class at two different tracks I go to. I'm trying to find an M08 kit, but everyone is out of stock here in america. Finding the Tamiya RIDE tires and wheels has been a challenge too.

Good job! By the way👍

Thanks Brian! 😄

you need to use smaller panel line like the Kyosho micron tape. this stuff is gold

I had the same reverse problem with my fathers ff-01 (a chassis I really like) quite a while ago. I opened the gearbox and found out that between the pinion gear from the motor and the normal gear were too much space. I adjusted the motor position a bit tighter and it worked. Luckily gears weren’t damaged. I hope I explained everything correctly ‘cause I’m german and my english is not the best :)

My Kyosho Micron Tape always peels up, I end up using Prit-Stick on lines where it does and that works well enough.

I am waiting to get my m8 concept - back-ordered in all the online stores, except those who price gouge.

Fun chassis that’s nice to drive

Hey Gavin, nice M08 but i think before you put in a nice brushless set up in it you should get to a track and race it as it is. And if you want really sticky tyres try the pit shimuzu ones now owned by schumacher ;) Cheers

That' looks fast for a standard motor

Hi Gavin, niiiiiiice wee runner, looks really good 👍. Are you going to put a driver figure in it to finish it off. 😎👍👍👍🇬🇧

Hi! 2 questions for you. 1. Is this the TAM51583 body? 2.And if so, that body was originally for the m05/m06 - were the premarked body post holes in the correct location to fit the m08 too?

That does look nice! I wish Tamiya would have put out the “Pro” and "Concept" chassis as mid-grade kits with bodies and tires in place of the “bling”; the latter doesn’t do much for beginners and casuals in a sea of RTR. Ended up missing out on the M07; expected it to replace the M05 in kits. Running a stock M04 around a carpeted track was a lot of fun; wish I had a local indoor track. How far is the closest onroad track to you? Your M08 would shine on a technical course.

Like the custom paint scheme. Tamiya ps20 on white is a great colour however very from my experience it gradually fades to orange when exposed to UV.

Well good news, the M-08R kit is coming out with a bunch of hop-ups included so you will be able to grab one better than mine.

Youre bad man. I thought I was done buying Rc cars for a bit, but seeing the Mx5 has me searching for a mk3 version to join the 1:1 mk3 I've got parked in the garage. The only saving grace at the moment is that no-one seems to make a mk3 NC mx5 body. If anyone knows of one let me know!

That car moves for only having a silver can.

Yep I was surprised how nimble it is for a basic brushed motor.

You've done a great job on that MX5 bodyshell, looks awesome! I love the 'M' chassis, got an M05 and a 3Racing Mini MG Evo, and they both run really, really well, and handle brilliantly. I would definitely recommend the MG Evo, it's a great price, decent spec, and changing the pinion and spur gears is a doddle, and it uses standard 48DP gears so they're easy to get hold of. Great little video!!

How does braking work, is it only the rear wheels?

It can be 4WB or rear 2WB depending on if you have a one way front diff installed or not.

I have both and m08 is definitively the better chassis. I thought traction might be worse because of midship motor position but this is not the case. By the way, I have the same noise under braking and can confirm it's not the distance between spur and pinion. So probably gearbox or differential.

@@RCKickschannel Hi, took my time this evening and finally found the problem. It was an assembly mistake and as long, as you keep all the parts of the kit together (even if you think they are left over) the failure is easy to recap. Please have a look at page 6 in the instructions, sketch 6, partn° B14. If this part is still on the plastic molding, then you`ve obviously forgotten it like me. Leaving away B14, allows the counter gear moving in axial direction and reduces dramatically the overlapping to the spur gear. I'm curious, if your noise has the same origin. Best regards from Germany, Christoph

Is motor loose and when reversing pinion pushes away from spur just total guess no skill involved in it lol.Have great day
