Real shame they overlooked the 210 wheelbase for the 07. Maybe they will do an M07 V2?

The idea behind the M07/M08 was a chassis better suited for competing. So you are right, it's a Mini Concept and the M05/06 continued to be available and evolved into the MB01. If you still had your M08, I would have asked you to send it to me so I can look it over and set it up for you. I have had a lot of success competing with the M08, even M06. They're not for everyone though. A buddy of mine that won TCS nationals in Mini and was awarded a trip to Japan, had never driven an M08. He could not drive it. He kept complaining about brakes. I told him what brakes, its a RWD.. you need to drive it like an F1.. at best use drag brake but with the spec motor being so slow.. who needs brakes!

Now this is weird. At 12:48 pm today, I was texting a friend and said, "Tamiya needs to release another special edition M07/08"

I find unboxing videos completely useless. Ooo here is a plastic parts tree inside a plastic bag. Oh look, here is another one.

The RC community is very small and this is a shameful display on AE's behalf for ripping off Jeff Malar's design with ZERO acknowledgement. Malar discontinued his version since there was rumor for MIP to release theirs. Well it seems AE took this opportunity to step in and copy his design. I get that their parent company is TT but Roger Curtis could have contacted him and bounced around some ideas. Few of us asked Jeff if we could purchase his version instead to support him.. he is very humble and states that to product another batch would be costly and the return on investment isn't worth it.

Like all social platforms, I am sure he started out with being passionate about the content he was creating. Once the $ started rolling in and sponsors started to him with product, the passion went out the window and turned into a money grab. Like many I no longer watch his content and am no longer amused by his channel. The fact that he or his people are thin skinned and banned you makes it far worse. Time to cancel and move on.

This is a proper release. Of course after wards expect the Green goblin, gold, jay halsey replica for the milking

A month ago, I placed an order for delicious blue bling hop ups for my XM01 from Plaza Japan. After much delay they finally arrived. I installed them and then proceed to install 30mm DCJ axles from M05 Pro. Well that didn’t go so well. The axles are too long. Luckily my Tamiya obsessive compulsive disorder affords me to have lots of spare parts. I swapped out the axles with the 42218 from 418/419 and issue has been solved.

I wasn’t counting that era.. which to me was the best era.. real scale buggies versus what we have today.

The question is not if they could. Sure they could do it. The decision has to do with playing to their strength. Tamiya makes amazing TRF on road cars. It’s all I race. off-road however was a short live endeavour. For off-road they make buggies that are scale, or character. Kyosho on the other hand makes competitive off road, and doesn’t do well in competitive on road.. eg their TF series. High end Off-road is very competitive. AE, Schumacher and Xray dominate it. Mugen entered with the MSB1 and was immediately criticised for its out dated design. There is already a big fuss about RB7.5 not having quick access diff and adjustable diff height.

Apologies, I meant doesn’t have heritage in off-road.

Kyosho has racing heritage in 1/10 off-road whereas Tamiya doesn’t in off-road. There was a demand for an RB7.5 Tamiyas TRF venture was a short lived endeavour spearheaded by TamiyaUSA. It failed to take off. So I doubt we will ever see a new car or a rerelease.
