toyolien 4508 Posted January 24, 2022 I know. Been waiting to build an M08 so ordered one that's hopefully coming this week. Also ordered a few hop ups that will effectively make it and 'R' spec. But might have waited for the proper 'R' box etc if I'd have know this was coming... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
InsaneJim69 1583 Posted January 24, 2022 Sounds great. Just waiting for the £300 price tag 😂🤦♂️ I really hope not, I would love a M chassis. Believe it or not I have never had one. James. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Badcrumble 4181 Posted January 24, 2022 Ooooh! Then the sanity chip kicks in. My road cars get run a couple of times a year at best and I already have more than I can use. Looking forward to seeing some sweet builds on here though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raman36 1647 Posted January 24, 2022 Reading the M08R list, Makes my M08 an RR. 😂 On the bright side, they didn’t make an R specific part that you can’t buy separately. That would have made me crazy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That would have made me crazy. Indeed. I thought it would have the "hard" type chassis like the M-07. But, maybe the M-08 doesn't need it. I'm yet to find out.

Believe it or not I have never had one. James. I got the M08 a while back, just love the thing. It’s a quality bit of kit. I don’t race (except for the Postal racing if that counts!!) And it puts a smile on the dial every time I take it out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
