Looks like the little brother of the XV02. 

It definitely is. Good for tinkerers like me, for several reasons:

- Separated rear part of the chassis would make custom XV-02 chassis possible

- suspension arm mounts are same as XV-02 and XV-01 - which means that XV-01 can now be converted to M-chassis.

Citroën DS is a very beautiful car. But: If a DS is to fit on an m-chassi, it must be 1:12 scale? 

Yes, with 3114mm WB and 1791mm width, it should be on BT-01, not MB-01.. maybe it's a mistake?

EDIT: I noticed it on the photo with other m-chassis. It is a 1:12...

wonder if an XM-01 RS Pro on road version will follow? I hope so 😁

According to Kentech's post, the suspension should allow for 2 ride height settings

@Badcrumble XM-01 Looks fantastic! A more mature M chassis aligned with the M07/M08 in terms of quality.

Me too. Nothing there that tickles me fancy. Except for the Black Clod. I was really hoping for a new TD4 or something like that.... Seems very on road focussed this year. (Yes I know the Mini XV02 is off road, but it'll probably be like most rally m-chassis cars off road)

 

However, thinking again, a 4wd Opel Cadet would be nice as an on road car....

I'm just interested in the "Baja" Bronco, the Citreon and Opel look nice but I don't like the MB chassis. The 1998 NSX shell was a hot ticket for the super competitive TCS guys.

I'm waiting for the XM-01s price to be $250 or something crazy. Just $20 short of the recent "rally" Kyosho Fazer.

It will be much better than M05Ra/MF-01. Inner arm pivots are closer to the diff, outer ones are closer to the wheel, so the front arms are about twice as long. Plus, XV-02 has raised center of the chassis, so the ride height should be good as well. My only concern is battery position and resulting CG. And tires.

£390 has to be wrong, the Xv02 pro is less then £309. 

[Twinfan 1834]

They're RRPs remember. street price may well be lower and probably drop over time.

Jadlam has Manta Ray for £148.45 pre-order. That looks decent.

[Twinfan 1834]

Yep, good deal that I reckon

I am more than happy that this will be re-released. A good friend of mine growing up got one for his Birthday when the original was released and I was so jealous. Previous to this we just had one attached to a wire.

[BuggyDad 5394]

Yeah XM-01 looks fab but I'll have to find it at half of RRP to actually buy one!

Perhaps wait for a Tamico sale - it will likely still be over the minimum order value threshold

I did think of Tamico! 

I can't remember where I got my XV-02 kit from but that was reduced plenty, so it does happen. I think I will pick this up if I see one at a really good price. It is probably also the case that this would need no hop ups at all, so there's £50 of value right there. 

Mine would get my MKII escort shell. In white with a bit of blue I think, but in a privateer sort of way rather than a known livery. Or possibly Fiat 131 box art (if mine ever arrives). 

[PoD2k2 99]

Modelsport have just updated their website 

[Badcrumble 4417]

I like your ideas @BuggyDad. 

I have a Monster GoPro Super Swift body that has been destined for an MF-01X in the build queue (the Escort body is going on my M-08R) but I likely would upgrade it to the XM-01Pro.

and mine is shocked  I will get the TRF421 and will need to create a KR m-chassis to run these beautiful new bodies
