Tamiya Escort M-08 VS MF-01X Handling Test Comparison 2WD Vs 4WD (RC Car Chassis Review) EuroRC
Test driving the eagerly anticipated Tamiya Ford Escort from Tamiya. Unfortunately, the kit comes with the 4WD MF-01X chassis and it might not have been the best choice. To rectify this, EuroRC has sent me the 2019 RWD M-08 Concept chassis kit to try out. In this video, we compare the MF-01X with the M-08 Concept Chassis by running them out in the real World. Let's find out if it's worth the chassis upgrade or should you just save the money and upgrade the kit MF-01X chassis instead.

I liked this video cause i got to see both cars performing in exact same conditions^^
That M-08 chassis makes it look like the real thing - I love it!
great video Gav! I have the rally beetle on the mf-01x chassis and when building it, i did put bearings in it then after the first drive, out went them god awful shocks and were replaced with oil ones. After that, i cut the wheel wells a bit bigger and went with wheels that were just a hair bigger and to my surprise, the car drives frickin awesome now!!! Totally blew me away on performance, i like driving it so much that i scraped the idea of shelving it and now just drive the crap out of it, don't even spend that much time cleaning it afterward..lol i love that little car!!
Well explanation of both chassis. Great job Gav
M08 looked far more realistic....with hop ups the mf01x will do well as it certainly bounces around a lot on those stock friction shocks.
So glad I got mini cva shocks for my MF01X Beetle. I didn't even bother building the stock pogo sticks lol. I just built it last week and only ran four packs through it and I love it so far.
Great question. Certainly found myself considering this. Thanks for sharing.
Great job Gavin. Both chassis look great in their own right. The 2wd definitely did better then I thought it wood.
The M08 moves in the way that Mk1/2 rally Escorts move... It looks right when driving. The MF-01 looks like a 4WD rally car. This is from someone whose been obsessively watching old rally videos during lockdown! If you're interested in some level of scale accuracy, RWD has to be the way forward.
Hah! That's my shell you showed in the first picture. There's more flaking too. Contacted EuroRc yesterday. 👍🏼
Great Video Gavin 👏 a very good comparison of what you can do.
Great choice on chassis, I've converted mine to rear wheel drive and handles much better
Love the sound effects on the intro!!!
Awesome Video 🤩 love the Action Shots
Personal I have a hard time axepting rear mounted motor in a front motor body, but that is just me. But another thing more important, is how much fun you get with the minimum amount of money. The original shassis runs good enough for bashing. Just add CVA's and traxxas rubber sealed bearings for the wet rally dirt. Great quality and much cheaper than tamiya sealed bearings.
Nice to see the Wimpole getting some action :D
Wimpole eh? With you and Kevin Talbot I really am living in amongst RC KZread royalty round here!
Nice comparison. Thanks!
Great comparison and review.
Gav, in the M08, trust me when I say... Throw in the Hobbywing justock 21.5 turn setup.. It's an absolute dream to drive. The car is absolutely built for it. I have a mess of different cars, and on the track or anything onroad the M08 is magnificent.. I think it's one of Tamiyas best offerings..
