TurnipJF 9192 Posted July 1, 2020 I wonder why it isn't on the MF-01X? Motor stick out to far perhaps? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
martinjpayne 273 Posted July 1, 2020 More importantly, why an M class chassis (with a wheelbase of 239mm) when it should be an 180mm wide body on a 257mm touring car chassis? "The GR Yaris is 3995mm long and 1805mm wide, with a wheelbase of 2558mm. The front track is 1530mm and the rear track is 1560mm." https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/toyota-gr-yaris-hot-hatch-2020 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why would they put it on a FWD chassis? Tamiya make some strange chassis choices. I would have ordered this immediately if it was on a 4WD chassis (MF01X, TT02, etc). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fabia130vRS 2098 Posted July 2, 2020 Tamiya is tamiya. I will buy this body for sure, I had affinities to buy a Mazda 2 Body, but I am a fan of Toyota more. Especially the Yaris. For my M05ver2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fabia130vRS 2098 Posted July 2, 2020 After searching a little bit for this Yaris Model and seeing this picture. To my mind is coming that Tamiya did this on marketing purpose. Maybe the Yaris WRC body was a good sell, and now they have completed more or less the bigger picture. also the new Toyota Supra and AE86 Gazzoo themed bodies were maybe a good marketing for Toyota. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blista 1519 Posted July 3, 2020 I hope this means potentially more Toyota re-releases. ST185 Celica, and maybe even the ST205, would be fantastic. Toyota Hilux monster racer might be an outside shot but a TA02T PreRunner would be nice too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I reckon you know that Kyosho has a kit and bps of the "new" Alpine? I was tempted to buy, but the BPS is pretty expensive and as usual for Kyosho, not quite up to Tamiya standard. Also, I would have been more tempted if it had been the regular road version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MST are making an M-chassis sized Alpine for release in Q4 this year. I think it was going to be a 225mm wheelbase, can't quite remember- it will be somewhere on their Facebook page... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I need to start following MST more closely. I just have their Hilux body so far, which is really fantastic, even in direct comparison with the Tamiya Hilux (Monster/Prerunner) body. The new E92 is a bit of a letdown, but I feel pretty confident they'll get the Alpine right. I'm happy I didn't buy the not exactly brilliant Kyosho Alpine for 60-70 Euro. The MST Alpine goes straight onto my wishlist! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisRx718 4470 Posted July 4, 2020 The render looks really promising huh. 239mm wheelbase, I might finally have some use for my M06. Their Civic EG hatch shell looks fantastic, but is priced higher than the Tamiya one, which is a bit hard to swallow. In the end I couldn't find any stock of the Civic and ended up buying a Scirocco shell instead. Interesting what you say about the quality, just wish the price point was a bit more palatable. Tamico seem to be the nearest retailer selling MST stuff, and they're always a bit behind the Far Eastern shops. Do you know of any other sources in Europe @Mokei Kagaku?

Raman36 1656 Posted July 7, 2020 Interesting 🤔.. 1/24 static re-releases of Fiat 131 Abarth, Lotus Europa, Super 7...Lotus Europa would be a good M chassis candidates.. 131 could go along side Audi UR Quattro. MST is an impressive outfit, that’s for sure. Like what I’m seeing from them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
