Keith, you might want to consider adding a couple more M-chassis to the collection. The M-04 and the M-07 R or M-08 are awesome. The M-04 is one of my favorites and I loaded mine with tamiya hop-ups basically making it an R version. With some 52mm foams, AVC receiver, and a sport tuned motor, it’s so much fun. I recommend adding the 3racing spur gear upgrade to the M-04 because stock its super slow. The M-07 R is also top notch and is so easy to drive.

Just built the M05 golf… put some bearings and a TZ in it. Took it out in the car park over the weekend… such a nippy and responsive ride. Loved the build. Got some paints… will get it painted this week!

Cool video. I got an M05 second hand at Christmas although it was never finished. The chassis was built but he made it the wrong wheelbase for the NSU TT shell so I had to fix that. I had the same issue as you with the instructions, it took me a while to figure it out! Anyway I finally got round to spraying and decaling the shell yesterday and I love it! It's a great looking wee car! It was my first ever polycarbonate body and I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out! I love the Golf too. Can't wait to see yours finished !

It is so odd and cool that they are both the same wheelbase but two totally different scales and kits. I love my little NSU TT on the M05 chassis, it really drives awesome! I had no idea what to expect from a front wheel drive kit but man does it rip! I think you are going to have a big ol smile on your face when you get to run it! I would only run the other one indoors on a carpet track or like in a gym somewhere. Maybe a tennis court where it is super smooth. I could not take the little one out on the pavement though! Looking forward to the body sitting on one, it is going to look great!

Thanks Addam. I love the size of these bodies. Just epic scale.

I love the Tamiya M-chassis cars, they're awesome! So much fun to build and run, and they're pretty sturdy too, the gear diff in the M-05 is pretty much bulletproof. I bought a 2nd-hand M-05 almost 2 years ago, it had a few hop-ups with it including TRF dampers. I stripped it down and rebuilt it, replacing the JIS screws with hex-head screws, and I had to swap out a few parts due to the plastic being stripped by over-tightening screws. I only ran the M-05 in a local car park, but by god it was so much fun. Early last year O got an M-07, and that cars was possibly the most fun car I have ever driven. I actually raced it at my local club, I was up against full 1/10th touring cars, and I held my own, and I even won the odd race here and there. I did upgrade the spur gear, and at one point I ran a 13.5 turn brushless setup in the car, it was insanely quick, probably too quick to be honest! If I remember correctly the odd-numbered M-chassis' were FWD and the even-numbered ones were RWD, apart from the TA05 M-four and the MF-01X, which are 4WD. Awesome video, keep 'em coming mate!!

Great Video Keith. I got hooked on buying the different variant colours & all the hop ups of the M05 chassis.

Came out good? You know I have high standards lol can’t wait to see it!

The reason the rear axle stubs aren't put in until later, is so they don't fall out while you work on the car, or they'd have to put in an extra step where you lock down the axle stubs into the hub with something like a body clip etc. Generally its good to just follow tamiyas instructions, and see if it made sense in the end, which it usually does. I think the M-chassis cars are usually quite short on space at the rear, some bodies are really short, with minimal overhang, so bumpers at the rear are often not a thing. If race cars can be without rear bumpers, I'm pretty sure a slow M05 can too ;D I think its more a case that some cars use the rear bumper as structural rigidity (tt01/tt02) that people get used to having rear bumpers. Looked like a fun build, even with some of perceived oddities. ;D Should make for a nice little drive before you do the switchup. I guess if you wanted correct realism, you'd want to mount a tamiya Golf mk2 rally body on the M-four as its four wheel drive, not sure if the M-four stretches to 239mm wheelbase tho. ;D

hey Keith. 25:48 That correctionsheet says the A3 part has been redesigned. 😁 The lower drawing shows the extension. They're both cool chassis. The M05 i definately gonna add to my wishlist (yes, i know🤣🤣), just because it's a fwd. The one thing that throws me of the TA05 m-four is the battery. It's a good looking chassis, but it's sad that it needs the 6.6V LiFe battery. Could it be possible to modify it a little to take a shorty Lipo?

@rcicons4915

Жыл бұрын

Anything is possible now a days with the selection of lipo’s available.

I also found the M05 a little confusing with which screw went where when you joined the 2 halves together and also getting that rear end spacing correct. I built up the chassis with lots of hop ups then put it back in the box with the unpainted body set as that’s going to take time. Can’t wait to see you paint yours as that might be the inspiration I need.
