  1. My family life combined with an excessive number of various hobbies is rarely conducive to making the time to take picture and document anything RC related. But after a hard fall and a few annoying injuries in the 1:1 world I had to take it easy for a few weeks and stay put at home. The cardboard box containing my M05 came out of the cupboard and onto my desk. This will be my first ever build thread! I will probably end up rambling aimlessly about various details that only matter to me. Everyone be warned! Why the M05Ver.II? I have always been attracted to M chassis without quite knowing why. For one thing, I really struggle to appreciate the available bodies. At the same time the chassis' all have a lot of 'Tamiya-ness' to them, looking neither like toys nor like racing machines. And there is something about their small size that I really like. Their 'origin' also picks my curiosity... I would theorize that Tamiya invented the class from the reality of Japan where space is at a premium and smaller cars running on smaller surfaces made sense. Or perhaps it came from Tamiya's dedication to providing a chassis and wheels of accurate proportions the first time they set off to make a scale model of a Mini, with the M01. In any case, I ended up buying and selling a few M chassis without quite finding the love. Then one night I ended up clicking in spite of me on an eBay listing. It was a M05 Ver.II Pro that already had a few hop-ups in addition to being a Ver.II Pro... and all of that well below market price. Perhaps the fact that it did not come with a body compelled me to buy it So I ran the car for a little while, thinking I should someday do a full teardown and rebuild to correct the few strange things done by the original owner, as well as hop it up to R spec and beyond! On that topic, as of late I have been thinking that a good way to stop the hop-up arms race is to just go to the max all at once and then be done with it What I am starting with - M05Ver.II Pro hardly used chassis kit - Tamiya M chassis aluminum shocks (I believe they are from the 54000 set) with the white springs only - Tamiya racing steering set 54191 - A Ball diff, the older one from the TA-03 chassis (53267) What I am adding - Tiny little 3x10 turnbuckles for the steering and rear camber - M chassis DCJ's 42300 - Carbon fiber shock towers front and rear... sadly the Tamiya ones are no longer available (at least for someone who is NOT a fan of trying to source elusive discontinued parts) so I reluctantly went with YR ones - Stainless steel suspension shafts 54613 for that hobby grade feel! - Lightweight battery holders for their sleek looks compared to the cumbersome system included in the kit and that is not really compatible with square packs anyways. - Tamiya reinforced freewheel axles 54183 - I already had a set in my parts box and they just seem of higher a quality than the stock ones - Electronics will be from my stash, with an old but very nice Futaba brushless servo, a Tamiya 17.5 motor and an XR10 ESC - As with all my cars I will add a few custom made parts; not entirely certain which ones yet. I am thinking at least the part that holds the rear body posts - it is too much of a monstrosity for me :/ and needs to be redone. Also I would really like a custom ballast weight made from a plate of brass, to experiment with front weight bias.
  2. So I have bought on the end of 2019 a M05 chassis I have built here to M05ver2 spec. the pictures dont work any more... I am using a different hosting service now. anywas... that build above originally was a M05 Fiat 500 kit that got split to parts and I bought the chassis so cheap, I also bought the m05ver2 chassis parts and converted it to a m05ver2... that means I have a almost normal M05 in spares. this is it, the M05ver2 now on a M02 chassis, the m05ver2 has a Nissan Silvia S14 body So here it goes, after the m05ver2 was finished, I bought a parts lot on ebay as it had the original Tamiya steering its for the M05ver2 and normal M05 Yeah racing motor mount with big heat sink... I have also left over speed gears and RA uprughts... thats a direction I am going.. Also carbon reinforced front and rear lower suspension arms. a few pictures of the process by now: Chassis by now: on the Inside I am using the first gear next to the pinion, from 3 racing in 35T, with a 20T pinion mounted. Yeah racing motor mount aluminium for the stock M05 with oversized heatsink. so I dont forget I put up the other day a topic I am looking for a servo buckle for the m05, and some c, d and b chassis parts... I remebered I have the buckle somewhere as my M05ver2 has the hop up blue one. So lets fit the servo in with a blue alu horn as I dont have the correct 25T horn for this kind of servo. I decided to install this caron reinforced arms onto this M05, my M05ver2 dont needs them as it has the ver2 arms set. nice and stiff these are RA uprights and C hubs same as in the rear. The shocks are Tamiya OIL dampers, but the seem like a older model like a FF01 or so? on order I have Jaz riders flat diff cups, and drive shafts with outer joints. Tamiya B parts (steering parts) Tamiya D parts (rear damper mount, rear suspension plate, upper rails) The only thing I am missing for now are the rear body mounts. they fit of a M01, M02, M03, M04, M05 and TA04 from my expirience. PLEASE HELP
