Tamiya Mini M-Chassis R/C Cars
One of the most popular r/c cars are the Tamiya minis, also called m-chassis. These models evolved from the M01, M02, M03, M04 and now the newest, the M05 chassis. These are 2 wheel drive mini r/c cars that are easy to build, have realistic r/c car bodies and are fun to race.
Every year Tamiya sponsors a World Championship event and minis are one of the most popular class. The newest fwd model. A lot of touring car drivers like this car. Easy to setup and very stable. Available in various wheelbase (short = 210mm, medium=225mm and long=237mm). Popular rc kit bodies are the Suzuki Swift, Fiat Arbart, Datsun 280ZX (i.e. Nissan Fairlady Z) and now the Honda S800. This is a rear wheel drive model that comes in medium and long wheelbase. Popular bodies such as the Mazda Miata and Mercedes Benz SLR. I love this r/c car and recently won the 2009 Futaba Cup against M03s and M05s. Being rwd has the advantage of less wheelspin when accelerating and smoother around corners. Below is a video of me racing my M04 in the Tamiya Asia Cup held in Hong Kong. Watched by thousands of people as the race was inside a popular Hong Kong mall. Tamiya M03 One of the most popular chassis. It is simple and clean in design. I recently used this chassis in the 2009 Tamiya Asia Cup held in Thailand. Below is a video of a mini exhibition race in TAC 2009. Racing next to me is 2009 European Champion Jilles Groskamp. Tamiya M02 Already discontinued, but a great collector's item. Here is a photo of my Tamiya M02 with a Mercedes Benz body.
