RallyX 3 Posted April 30, 2023 Does anyone know if the current reissue of the M05 Golk Mk1 has the V2 chassis that will accept rectangular LiPo batteries? Or is it using the original chassis with the oval cutout? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kowalski86 3034 Posted April 30, 2023 I'm fairly certain that all of the regular M05 kits use the V1 chassis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RallyX 3 Posted April 30, 2023 Dang, that sucks. Guess I'll have to buy a new battery then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

droidy 91 Posted May 3, 2023 Some instructions for the conversion from V1 to V2: https://www.thercracer.com/2017/07/tamiya-m05-v2-guide-mods-tuning-and.html?m=0 I can't tell if the V2 parts are optional with respect to each other and you only need them all to get the full effect, or if the V2 parts are all required and it won't work at all if one is missing.

Norco Kid 61 Posted May 3, 2023 I can confirm you only need 54605 if all you care about is the square battery fitment. Tamiya suggests tape to hold the battery in but you can use velcro straps or make some brackets pretty easily.
