Most curious @SlideWRX. Looking forward to seeing the full manual on this one and eventually getting my hands on one.

Yes VW’s are only the real ones that work. The M06 under a mk11 Escort body just looks wrong

And if you could find the old Boxster and Carrera bodies 👍 The Escort wouldn't bother me if it didn't have a lack of undercut/valance under the rear bumper, which with Tamiya doing 3 piece moulds, is not really an excuse for missing it out.

Are the 55mm tires new?  I have a GT-01 Lamboghini that runs 55mm tires, and the M-chassis 60mm are too big - they hit the bodywork a fair bit.  The normal GT-01 tires are impossible to come by these days, so I need a replacement.

No, not new - the original m-chassis tyres were/are 55mm.

Thanks!  Dug around, #50568 - Ordered a set.  I searched for 55mm or 54mm rc tires, but they don't come up easily.  Even Tamiya's own description only says "These tires feature a low profile, compared to Tamiya 60D diameter tires..."  which would not help if I'm searching for a specific size...
