Sometimes it is good to be wrong...

RWD M-chassis cars have a bit of a reputation, and rightly so IMO.
My first experiences with the M-04 showed me quite how difficult these little cars can be, and to be honest I never really got to grips with it as an on-road racer. I never even tried racing my M-06 on-road, setting it up as a rally chassis from the get-go. So it was with some doubt in my mind that I set about building Tamiya's latest RWD M-chassis offering as an on-road race car. I had already built and raced the M-07, finding it noticeably superior to previous FWD M-chassis, so I was hoping that the M-08 would show similar advancements.

As it turned out, I was wrong to have doubted the M-08. It is a brilliant little chassis, well-designed and easy to build featuring quality components and plenty of adjustability. And it handles! Although having more in common with the M-04 in terms of overall design, it feels almost F103-like in its ability to follow orders and go where I want it to. It is holding its own in the postal racing, and I look forward to trying it out at post-Coronapocalyptic race meets.
