Next M Chassis Release ?

Recommended Posts

Make you look err?

What body do people look forward to as the next M chassis release after the VW Beetle?

I'd like to see some of the older bodies, including:

Karmann Ghia M04L

Fiat Abarth re-re

C'mon Tamiya, great bodies!

Or maybe a Ford Fiesta RS on an M03M chassis to compete against the Swift.

What other 'character cars' exist???

i personally would like to see old school cars, like fiesta amk1 and escort mk1 + mk2, but i very much doubt they would have a mass world market so i reckon it aint ever going to happen. it would be nice though :lol:

A 356 would be great, Im working on a replica of Vic Skirimts 356 using a Kawada 356 but if Tamiya made one im shure the detail would outstanding.

Heres a picture of what my 356 will be a copy of

I'd like to see a Karman ghia and a 356 coupe.

Also i think it would be great if Tamiya made a late 1275GT version (clubman front end) of the MO3 mini :lol::)

How about a

Bugeye Sprite with molded head lights for LEDS, Tamiya would be about the only company to pull it off.

I feel Escort Mk1 done right would be very popular. Would have me buy my first 'M' Chassis.

Not as a classic racer, done more as a retro modern street machine with forest flares. A quick google around of what people have done to their Mk1's shows you how to do it.

Cheers, Mark

Hi,

the Porsche 356 and the Lotus Europa are already made by "Kawada" for the M-chassis in short wheelbase.

I whould see:

- Vauxhall nova SRi / Opel Corsa A GSI on M03M

- VW golf 1 Gti on M-03M

- Renault R8 gordini on M-04M

- Citroen 2CV on M03L

- Porsche 911 2L on M04L

- Escort Mk2 on M-04L

- Simca Rally on M04M

-....

Cactus as the "M-chassis lover"

I think Kawada only made an Lotus Elan body, not an Lotus Europa.

And the Lotus Elan body cannot reach the quality of an Tamiya body.

ABC made a Europe Body,you can still find it if you look hard enough :D

Abc Also made a Esprit body for the 1/10th 4wd chassis they made about 6 years ago,but the body is really ugly.

I second that 300 SL Merc.

That way I could combine my two "toy" hobbies.

The SL is a little big for an M-chassis, but it would be sweet on a touring car.

Note: auction has ended, so this post complies with TC rules. He also does an Aston DB5 and 356 coupe.

Being that I had 3 of them, MK1 Esky. I'd love to see Tamiya do a MK1 Escort RS,(didn't own unfortunately) have to be a Tamiya body though, big flared gaurds, Driving lights, Driver/Co-Driver interior, all the rally bits 'n' bobs. Or another car I had, Mazda RX2 4door, although I like the 2door coupe more.

Just my two bobs worth

Cheers'

Fiat 500 is great!!! Kyosho made one some years ago.

I would like to see a Lancia stratos. There is one from abc hobby, but I can't find a seller for it.

Also like to see a Golf I, but....waiting was too long, so I made my own M-Chassis Golf (old Golf Racing Group 2 body) :D

Watch in my showroom
