M-05 v2 Pro with a Honda city turbo body.

Recommended Posts

Hey all

Well after my build off my vintage NIB willy's wheeler, I have decided to order the following parts to build a more user friendly car that I don't mind crashing unlike the wheeler below,

Toykid told me about a polycarbonate honda city shell that was available on eBay and So I have ordered the following today:

58593 M05 v2 pro

54192 steering link set

54191 steering set

53267 TA03 ball diff

53217 TA03 hardened diff output shafts

53577 TRF damper bushes for diff cups

53390 carbon gearbox shafts

M-03/5 Honda city bodyshell.

I'm hoping this will all come next week as it's from eBay Germany/uk so no import duty either. I will just have to sort the tyres out now which I'm not sure what to get.

I will update when I start the build.

If anyone recommends getting anything else please say.

James.

You know it WON'T be box crap lol

I'm not sure yet. I will build the chassis and then decide on the colour. May just do it all gun metal but not sure.

Where abouts in Germany are you?

Iv got the m05 pro chassis coming from Dortmund.

Ok so even on a bank holiday in the UK I get parcels???? Lol I'm amazed!

Anyway, I have wheels and tyres and the ball diff so far. I was hoping it was the car itself but no sign yet. I managed to get the diff cheap, £7!! With the diff outputs. Old stock I was told lol, result.

I have built the tyres up. Firstly I turned them inside out and de greased them. I evo sticked the inner foam together and double sided the foam inside the tres to stop them from moving.

Next up is the TA03 ball differential. I was going to order the M05 ball diff but after reading the build instructions off the car online before hand, the instructions even say go for this ball diff. So after a quick look online I was also told to go with the TA03 diff as it is stronger and works better than the new design.

All the parts ready:

Ready now for the car to arrive........

No wider tires on the rear, what rims did you choose?

I haven't yet mate, the pro comes with wheels which I was going to look at using.

Are you thinking of anything i can use?

I'm intrigued lol.

Are you going scale or cartoonstyle like the Willy wheeler? slightly bigger wheels.

the Voltec fighter wheels might be a bit to big with 74mm OD but some Formula slicks (approx. 64mm) might look nice if you can find fitting rims

Ok so the kit turned up from Germany, the box is smaller than I thought it would be.

Shiny shrink wrap.

Inside pictures off the parts, I do like the shadow dark chrome effect on the plastic. It should look great with all the blue metal parts.

A bag full of shiny blue bits!!! 8-)

The shock body come in clear plastic.

But I am not going to use these as I have a set of TRF gold shocks from my old race car.

Ok so most off the parts arrived today,

Posted Image

So I can start the build.

First bag A!

Full of shiny parts.

Posted Image

Posted Image

The chassis is an amazing black chrome, looks soo nice with the blue parts.

The motor heat sink screws to the frame and gets sandwiched between the 2 halves.

Posted Image

Posted Image

Posted Image

Posted Image

Posted Image

Next stage is to build the back section of the chassis which holds the servo. I'm using a metal geared savox. A Bit OTT but there great fast servo's.

Posted Image

Posted Image

Screwed to the front half.

Posted Image

First upgrade!

Carbon hollow shafts. These are so light compared to the steel solid ones.

Posted Image

All the gears ready for the install.

Posted Image

The kit uses 11x5 bearings that then press into plastic housings for the diff outputs, a bit strange. All most an after thought on the design for larger bearings.

Posted Image

Posted Image

Posted Image

Posted Image

Posted Image

Gearbox assembled.

Posted Image

Posted Image

The kit uses anti-ware grease on the joints around the heat sink and diff. I think this helps to seal the box to stop plastic ware and dirt ingress into the sealed gearbox.

Posted Image

Posted Image

Gearbox assembled. The motor heat sink is designed very well. I like the way it pokes up through the chassis too cool the motor heat.

Posted Image

Posted Image

Posted Image

That's the first stage and bag A is empty.

More soon.

James.

A fine-looking build! The TRF shocks are a great choice, but I still think the clear-bodied types are novel. I guess that seeing when the oil needs changing would hardly work if the bodies were all scratched, though...

Yea agreed and there not as strong as the metal ones and the TRF shocks are coated internally I'm told also.

Didn't fancy going for a low profile servo? I bought one specifically for my M05 V2 to try and make the most of the changes to the chassis.

If you aren't racing it though I guess that's irrelevant :)

Well I had the servo left over from my clodbuster build.

What servo did you go for?
