Thank you for explaining the ins and outs of this chassis. I was only aware of the rally version of this, and the new one coming out soon. Super stoked for the XM-01!
Just built an m-05l chassis with my daughter...now she's going to craft a scale interior, and we have the body to detail yet... fun little chassis to drive. Now I want an m-06 ...
Coincicdence! I just built my first M06! its awesome and I'll be trying to bring it to an indoor track soon. i didnt think I could like the minis even more but here I am still growing my obsession haha. nice job on teaching your daughter some STEM skills!
Great break down video of the Tamiya ‘M’ chassis family 👍 Like yourself and many other posters, I too own an M03…..well actually 2…both excellent deals, one a shelf queen and another which is a roller that I’m hoping to race in the future at my local track….only thing I hate is our club rules don’t allow chassis mods so I’m stuck with one rounded battery just for the M, when none of my other batteries will fit because they are all square….still worth it…but broke my heart to see what that previous owner did to the M chassis you bought….proper ham-fisted approach to dremelling (and I say this as a relative newbie lol)….here in the UK, some of these ‘old school’ untouched (so un modified) ‘M’ chassis stuff e.g. 1-3 still hold their value pretty well. Brilliant vid and I love how you tell a story with the ‘build’ in the background…..excellent technique 👍👏👏👏😎
H!, thank you for the chat, I too have been restricted to round batteries on many of the older models, Ive been lucky to be able to run the V2 chassis on mine. Im doing a series on different chassis on a carpet track, The M05 will be soon! Thank you letting me know you like this format, I will try this style again 🙏
Thanks! 👍 keep in mind there is now a new mini chassis, chassis models number is "MB-01" and it can be switched to go fwd or rwd, and somebody has already made a awd out of it
@@rexrcs First is M05 2cv Charleston. I just posted a little cinematic of it running if you want to check it out. I am currently attempting the Renault 5 Turbo... All so new, So awesome
Thanks for the video - I love Tamiya Kits, just finished a TA08 Pro and a TC-01, and now waiting for the M-08 Concept Chassis to be available from backorder.
NICE overview of my Favorite On-Road Chassis!! I would love to find a M01, just for the silly fun my Friend Mark tells me it is! Only had one M03, the classic Cooper.... but had to sell it. They are DRAMATICALLY expensive now. 😭😣 I mentioned my M06, Lowride Pumpkin. Silly donut machine, but not winning any Races with THAT Body. LOVE my M05s!! And starting to appreciate my newest, MF-01X. HOPEFULLY getting a M07R at some point, money depending... Happy New Years!!! 🎉🎊🍻🍻🙏🎉🎊
Hi. I'm not an RC person but a friend of mine persuaded my to buy his Mini `94 Monte Carlo Pro build shelf queen many years ago. I got all excited about having my first RC car, so I bought a brand new M-03R race chassis kit (blue one) and swapped that out to the mini (still have the original chassis that came with the Mini). That's as far as I ever got, no motor, never run, and back into a box it went and ended up in the attic. Its still there. Do these have some collector value ? Any info greatly appreciated. Regards.
Great little video, love the brief 'M' chassis history. I got myself an M-05L a couple of months ago, with a Toyota GR Yaris body, had a few hop-ups on it already but I've got a few more already, with some blue bling on the way. I've never had an M chassis before, but now I really see the appeal of them, the M-05L is fantastic to drive, so much fun, and handles really, really well. Mine cam with the 3Racing speed gear set, but I've taken it out, it sounds horrible and from what I've read does not last long. Sure, it's waaaaay faster than the standard Tamiya gearing, but in my opinion not worht bothering with, but your mileage may vary....
Hey!!! Great timing! I just brought the m chassis to an indoor track yesterday and yes its awesome!!! The speed gears seemed fine for me, make sure you use a different hole to mount the motor, its not the one you would think
My first m chassis was the tamiya m02 back in 2002, it had a tech racing belt drive conversion with a 2speed. But the m03/m03r is where I could my true love for this class/size. The m04 was impossible to get to handle correctly.. I now have the m08, and even though it’s an excellent chassis and easy to get it to handle with just springs and good tires, it’s an awfully ugly chassis 😅 Can’t wait for the next rear wheel drive m chassis and hopefully it looks cool.. because I have to like the way the chassis looks too, to actually invest money into it.. I know I’m weird
I'm a M chassis fan. Finishing up my MF01X build. After my M05, M08, and M07R, I just can't get enough of them and am STOKED to see what the N09 and M10 (maybe they'll call it the MX?) Will bring. Im hoping it'll retain the square lipo battery tray the 7 and 8 have, im sure thats why your chassis was mutilated (I bought special lipos to fit my m05).
The M02 (Beetle) was my second ever Tamiya ever and 3rd ever hobby RC ever.. and I still have it! It's an amazing car to drive and I absolutely love the monoshock design. It makes it body roll a lot but I feel that is more realistic for a Beetle. I've also owned 2 M-05s before (Mugen CRX and Mazda MX-5 ND). The Mugen was a gorgeous car but unfortunately it was destroyed by a mean old Slash at my college dorms freshman year :(. I made that one into a BMW Mini Cooper and sold it. The M05 chassis in general though I couldn't seem to fall in love with. I've had the MF01X as well and that is an amazing car (though getting to the servo is annoying). I'm surprised though being the MF"01"X that it wasn't a front motor design and rather a rear motor design like the even number M cars.
I Bought A Vintage 1/10 Scale KNIGHT RIDER Toy Car From Ebay, Because I Wanted To Turn It Into A Remote Control Car Too, But It's Too Short, It's Too Narrow And It's Too Low For My Tamiya TL - 01 Chassis. I Was Thinking, Would The Bodyshell Fit Perfectly On A Chassis From A Tamiya mini?, Those Wheel Part's Need To Be Shorter Too. And I Might Try And Make My Own Bodyshell Out Of Sheet Metal Piece By Piece By Building It Around The Smaller Bodyshell Itself If I Can Afford To Do This. 😃👍.
Very cool video dude, nice and informative for those that don't know. I love the M chassis stuff. I have all the chassis configurations except the M05-Ra and Pro/R versions.
That is a spray synthetic lubricant my friend, I use it to pinpoint exactly where I want lube without ending up with greasy hands, it’s a lube by “Wurth”, I recomment white lithium spray
Do you have any details on a M chassis 210mm wheelbase for drift? or which one do you recommend for a beginner for FWD? - want to use a Mini cooper shell. Thanks
hi there, for drift I think you can focus on rwd models such as M06 and M04, maybe m08, but you will need steering modifications. if you want 4wd drift mini you can get mf-01x. new fwd recommendation is m05 and m07. your beginner item will be your learning platform
That's really cool! Thank you for sharing I know a little bit more about the M chassis now! But you did mention that there are non Tamiya M chassis are they any good?
madthunder2 its from china so shipping is iffy at the moment, Im not trying ito advertise them, it’s just that they’ve got a lot listed on the website under “m chassis’” so it’s good to at least have a look at some variants. Hey I appreciate your feedback, it let’s me Know I can make another one!
It was made a very long time ago before lipo, and people (us) just wont let it die, there is already replacement here and another coming, but we too stubborn to let it die so tamiya was kind enough to make a new chassis shape for modern batteries. Im just making stuff up not sure how true it is
@@rexrcs I mean I understand why Tamiya made it (it was before release of M-07), but I don't understand why they reverted back to V1, so only way to get a V2 is to get extra A-parts.
@@rexrcs so I just bought a new M-05 and fount out that they did update the A-parts. But only the rear half of the chassis! So decision to sell A-parts for square packs as an option seems to be pure greed.
@@Papinak2 first off, congrats! In regards to the updated parts, it was an update to a V2 chassis that was sold as a limited item when square packs became popular. My guess is that to change a part of the production assembly line would be far too costly and make the end product more money. So to prevent that, they just offer an updated chassis. The original m-05 came out before square packs
Dear Rex, nice info on the vi on the M chassis, i have an M06 chassis that came with my midnight pumpkin. I want to fit a Karman Ghia top to this chassis so i need to lengthen the chassis. Is it easy to lenthen this chassis of mine? Are there any guides on how to do this ? Thanks brgds
Hello Boss Mitch! i think ampro had a lot of videos where he has modified the m chassis, and he has print files as well for the modifications he has done, check out Ampro engineering on youtube and shapeways and myminifactory, The karman ghia is such a gorgeous body! Let me know what you find and keep me updated with your project
Just picked up an m03 Mini in fantastic shape from a pawnshop for $36 bucks. Had a vintage dynamite charger and Futaba Magnum junior Rx/Tx. Fun little car
@@rexrcs It came with the original Mini Cooper body in medium green. I painted the grill chrome and removed a few stickers I didn’t like, but otherwise it’s in really good shape. I’ll eventuality get another just cause I love painting bodies! My favorite part is peeling off the overspray film
M08 is superior to the m06 in several ways! Easier access to diffs and much more adjustability from factory without hop ups, Id recommend the M08 if its a rwd you want
@@rexrcs M-07 doesn't have a 210mm option. There are rear uprights that can be used to shorten the wheelbase, but I'm not sure if the Mini shell fits over the rear overhang.
@@Papinak2 whoa! Just learned that now, thanks for telling me, didnt realize the m07 didnt have short wheelbase. Mb-01 is new suspension style like tt-02, i think it can fit the M07 arms kind of the way TT-02SRX fit trf arms. You can also use low friction balls from TT-02 on MB-01
@@rexrcs I'm afraid that M-07 suspension cannot be used, as inner hinges are very close together compared to MB-01. I think it's nice that MB-01 can use TT-02/XV-02 differential options. It's a bit disappointing that M-05/6 never got an oil filled gear diff.
@@Papinak2 are you getting mb-01? Im very interest to see it, i preordered it but recently canceled my preorder, i will wait for MB-01R or special version
They are quite different, I think the TT-02 is a general use type of vehicle but anything can be tuned to fit your driving style. The mf-01x can has a type of chassis that lends well to keeping clean as oppose to the TT-02’s tub design which catches a lot of debris. With that being said the mf-01x is a mini chassis and I find it has a harder time soaking up bumps due to the wheel size. However I have videos on my channel of mf-01x rally in both 4wd and rwd, see of you can find them I had great fun with it. As far as handling goes, the mf-01x has a very stable rear end and os much more forgiving when using power over techniques to slide the rear end around and steer with the rear wheels, as oppose to the TT-02 with its motor farther forward. For competition I can really say which is better as I have not yet tried to create a competition level TT-02 rally car. I feel that the TT-02 would be much more plush in the rough due to its wheel size, however you can also run larger “standard” wheels on the mf-01x. Being that youre specifically saying the beetle, which is the long wheelbase version of the chassis its very stable and forgiving but tends to have understeer unless you use power over technique to steer. At this moment in time I wouldnt be able to decide between the two… The tt-02 is much easier to work on and maintain. Check out my mf-01x rally videos, I show how i modifed the chassis to create more suspension travel. Also I have multiple TT-02 porsche videos where i show how i modified it to have more suspension travel and get it ready for the rough off road as well. Cheers! Let me know how you get on
