Would love to see an old Lotus Europa or Lotus Esprit turbo, based on the M04 chassis.

Hi, Welcome to the M-Chassis family.
At first you should add full ball bearings to the car.
You can find complete sets for the M02/02 based cars cheap on ebay.
Try WalawalaStore on ebay. His ebay name is joaquimassis . He sells High Quality Bearing Sets for all Tamiya cars at excellent prices. Search for M01/02.
Next step are oil dampers. You need one set of Super Mini Mini C.V.A. dampers No. 50746. They do a perfect job.
About the motor. I wouldnt go over a 23Turn motor. More than enough for a M02 based car. For the wheels and tires. You can choose from the big range of tires and wheels for the normal touring cars, because the M-Chassis Mercedes uses the same sizes.
For a complete list of Tamiya Hop Up options for the M01/02 Chassis click here:

Some of these Hop Ups like the Front and rear Stabilizer set arent easy to find nowadays.
But most of them pop up on ebay from time to time.

The best and fastest Tamiya buggy is for sure the new TRF 501X.
Its a pure competition machine. Designed to win the World Champion title for Tamiya.
If you want a fast and stable machine, go for the Tamiya DF-03 based buggies like the Dark Impact , Keen Hawk or the new Avante Mk.2.
Full ball bearings and ball diffs out of the box. Lots of Hop Up options available. And with the optional slipper clutch, it can handle even the fastest motors.
Cheers

The body of your driver is the original Marui Hunter one.
The Head comes definately from a Tamiya Scorcher/Monster Beetle/BlitzerBeetle
This is how the original one looks:

The Thunder Shot drive shafts will fit. [Y]
You can also use the Thunder Shot and Top Force universal shafts. They are the same.

Constructor: Then why dont they devote the time to designing new cars rather than re-reing?
That's how they built up the company in the first place - not by selling old stock.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Isn´t the TRF 501X new ?
and the DF-02 - DF-03 - TA-05 - TG10Mk2 - TRF touring chassis - TNX 5.2
They also do a lot of new Touring car bodies like Mazda RX-7 - BMW 320i. Only to name a few.
I can´t understand such a position. When i look to other manufacturers i can´t see so many new products every year.
Tamiya releases a alot of new cars and parts every year + the re releases ! [*]
-
Yes !!!!! Congratulations Bakaguyjean [Y]
You said the right words. Can only agree.
Tamiya produces great actual cars. No other manufacturer does more for the electric market.
And the re-releases are a nice addition for the "real" Tamiya enthusiast. [

Miramar is totally right ! [Y]
This Frog Ferrari is a wonderful creation. And very professional made too.
-
Wow ! Great work. A perfect example. [

Only two questions Dee. Why do you collect Tamiya models ? Why do you like Tamiya models ?
When i hear your to your words, it´s only to own a "highly collectable", highly priced "original" thing. [+o(]
I love the cars in my collection, original or re-release. I´m a real fan of this company and happy about every new and re-release.
And I like the Tamiya philosophy and look of their products.
Just my 2 cents
Cheers

Congrats Wyoming ! This picture really rocks. [H]

Glad you reminded me that the Eagle bumper doesn't work with the stabiliser. Anyone know how it works with the Tamiya bumper?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No problem here.[Y] Stabilizer fits perfect under the original bumper. As you can see on my pictures.
Cheers

The new "Cobalt Green" is the correct color. The old one wasn´t correct.
-
I´m blown away from the 934 Porsche ! [
]What a car. Tamiya is still the No. 1
I hope more classic supercars will follow.
-
Yes, this foam bumpers protects the body very well.[Y] And they look very cool too. [H]
But the bad point is, the M03 stabilizer doesn´t fit behind the Eagle foam bumper mount.[:S]

Hi OCD,
I would use Alloy front knuckle arms. The original Tamiya Alloy ones aren´t cheap,
I´ve the Xspede Alloy Front knuckle arms installed on my M03 Mini Cooper Racing. They are of very good quality and look the same
as the original plastic ones. You can get them for 16,90 USD on ebay. I think this is the cheaper way. And you have a cool looking alloy part.
Theo is right. Other alloy parts aren´t necessary. If you buy the knuckles from the Suzuki Swift M03M chassis + 1050 ball bearings, it´s
more expensive then the aftermarket alloy parts.
Cheers

Completely disagree ![:@]
For me, Tamiya is still the most innovative manufacturer in RC.
For example. I like the Mazda RX-7 very much. But never bought that body from HPI. Because it can´t compare
with the perfect look of a Tamiya body.
Cheers

Fantastic news !
Mr. Tamiya don´t stop making me happy. [

The Tamiya Super Stocks are great motors. I can only recommend them. [Y]
I own all motors of the series. The new Super Stock BZ is specially made for Off Road Racing. Great torque.
I use this one in my Mighty Bull.
-
Sorry to hear that Theo...[:'(]
Hope she has found a good place in Tamiya heaven now.
-
You are right, the Blackfoot Extreme is really slow with stock motor and pinion. [:S] I use the new Tamiya Super Stock BZ
motor in my Mighty Bull (same chassis as Blackfoot Xtreme) with the 20T pinion and full ball bearings. Works perfect. Great torque and top speed.[
]I´ve installed the standard TEU101 ESC in my car and never had any problem with overheating.
Cheers
-
I´ve seen the same on the decals of my M03M Suzuki Swift kit.[
]But I don´t think there will be a M-chassis Nitro version. [:S]
Cheers

Marui Galaxy and Hunter use standard Tamiya 1150 size bearings.

Next M Chassis Release ?

I think Kawada only made an Lotus Elan body, not an Lotus Europa.
And the Lotus Elan body cannot reach the quality of an Tamiya body.
