Hey Rex, you can see that the Tamiya designers have really thought about this. The torque transfer on the rear end is a cool trick, and the longer arms makes a huge difference on the suspension. Lovely stuff in that box, quality stuff. Agreed, the higher end Tamiyas really show off what they can do in terms of engineering and performance. I really enjoyed this chatty video, my friend! 😎👍
Well it certainly sounds very zoom-zoom and seems to be fully of cool features. I love watching these as I don't know that much about on road cars and setup. Never done much first hand so watching this build series I will probably learn a good deal more. Congrats on the cool new kit!
It makes me feel very good to hear that, im super happy to try making people interested in touring cars. I was a early 90’s kid so touring cars were my life
@@rexrcs I've always loved to see the tech in them and watch them. So fast especially the carpet track ones. I drive the in my PC game so I bash all the walls without having to fix anything because I bash ALL the walls!!!
Yes on that first point with motor rotation I would say weight transfer what a great design 👌 👍 gotta love tamiya and caster hubs very cool 😎 looks great 👍 that's gonna be a fun build 😀 👍 😎
Drift will come ! I use to drift nitro rc before drifting was a thing back in 2003, ive got a few cars still but Im interested im getting my first rwd drift car soon
Hi Rex! The term you're looking for is "Ladder Bars" or "Traction Bars". A Tamiya Kit with BEARINGS!!!! 🙏😁😁👍👍 Yes, a big deal. And Sealed Gear Diffs! Something I always look for, or will purchase separately. ALL my M-Chassis Cars have it. I paused to say that. Back to the Video!
I'm excited! The rotation of the heavy Motor even provides some downward push on the Tires!! Droop adjustment IS nice to have. Chassis looks very tunable! 😎👌 And the Box should even provide a carrying case for the finished Car. I'm a better natural Front Wheel Drive Racer - on Road anyway. I'm HOPING to find the M07 Concept. Everything is hard to find these days, but it's GOT to get better after the COVID Debacle is finally over!! 🤬🤬 Going to your other Video now.
The instructions say not for off road, which I can see, its really not balanced for slippery surfaces, the motor being mod mounted it seems purposeful for high traction surfaces. I did see rckicks try to run one with escort body off road but from what I remember it looked terrible(couldve just been his running footage)
This should be intresting, it looks like a capable little kit there. :D I havent gotten round to the M07/08 yet, just got the m06, slowly been going from m01 upwards :D
@@gbraadnl im bad with instagram, and i JUST finally downloaded the tickytocky and its giving me anxiety lol why so many platforms?!? I just started a facebook called more_rc Email? I will start checking my insta every day also
@@rexrcs dislike for many services too. Never used Tiktok. Hate it. In China it is even worse. Email or WhatsApp in the worst case. Often post on Instagram as my brother is there too. No Facebook user. ;-)
looks like a really nice chassis kit, when did this come out? love watching these videos as I have not been into these road kits and its reall getting me to want to go racing
Nice I wanted to get one but I don't like the price tag attached to it and I don't Race, So for me I'm going to have to pass because it would just sit on the Shelf.
$209 CAD from pinnaclehobby as we speak 👀 I hear you though, Rally cars are the only thing allowed to sit on my shelves(after being run once to get real dirt on them), everything else gets run so I also cannot buy anything I dont run

You and me both!

@@AddamsPlayground hahahaha “i bash all the walls” thats a t shirt lololol
Those barrel gears are excellent if you CA glue the plastic bearings in them. Or the brass ones lol.
🤣
WOW REX, VERY NICE MY FRIEND!!!!!!!!!
Wait till you see it on track 😍
Yes on that first point with motor rotation I would say weight transfer what a great design 👌 👍 gotta love tamiya and caster hubs very cool 😎 looks great 👍 that's gonna be a fun build 😀 👍 😎
Just brought it to track last night and boy does it ever have good traction during acxeleration
nice kit and unboxing
Great presentation.👏👏👏👏 I'm still not in On-Road yet, but I am curious, and who knows...
Go on with this rig. I keep watching.
Thank you! I grew up late 80’s early 90’s so touring and on road were my life and rally
Now for the build vid. Need lots of detail in this one bud!
SWEET! I gtta build one for sure
Its a small kit but damn still took my several hours to do it
Hi Rex, awesome concept chassis. You’re going to enjoy the building of this great chassis with high end components and designs! Enjoy my friend. 😊😉😊
Just ran it on track last night, wow what a drive,!
At least Tamiya includes ball bearings - un-sealed ones. I recommend sealed bearings for the wheels to help prevent grit reducing the friction.
yes great advice! I chose unsealed for reduced friction although with my driving I will never notice haha
looks neat.. drift it!👍
Drift will come ! I use to drift nitro rc before drifting was a thing back in 2003, ive got a few cars still but Im interested im getting my first rwd drift car soon
perfect job mate...very helpful
keep going champ🏆
Thank you 🙏

Ohh I wonder if it can Rally? ( like next year lol)

Have you played with the different aluminum caster choices and M07 hubs yet?
No i have not

Very capable!
Cool vid! Thanks!
Missed seeing you in videos! totally missed notifications... must have been the name change
Missed you man! Missed your opinions.
I might have to change name again, somebody has “Rex rcs”
@@rexrcs Pretty much the same here. Would like to discuss and contact you outside of RUclips ;-)
