What a beautiful RC car. If it wasn't for the mounting posts, it would honestly look like a model kit! I don't think I've seen a more tunable chassis, especially for this price, out there. FWD, RWD, and the wheelbases. Oh yeah, the motor lay down! You know there's gonna be "hop ups" galore! Thank you for the "to the point" review. It was PERFECT and all that's needed for an RC car review!

Finally! a Mb-01 video, been waiting a while for pre-poduction/review samples have hit the youtubers, fantastic review and it seems to drive fantastic. even with the friction shocks. I wasn't too big a fan of the Abarth at first. but it's growing on me and you did a fantastic job of the engine details. ill be picking one up when it hits the stores here in europe.

That little car looks so good, you've done a great job! The chassis is quite unusual, but it's also very interesting, something different, I like it! I've always liked the M chassis' cars, I did race an M07 indoors on carpet last year, and I was up against full size 1/10th touring cars, and I did reasonably well. But the best bit was the M07 was so much fun to drive, sadly I had to sell it a few months ago due to lack of money, I miss that little car....

@mikeupton5406 Жыл бұрын

WOW!! The engine detail is a surprise. The telephone pole body posts are an abomination I think along with a bearing set I would also get a magnetic body mount kit, one that could be mounted low and stick out horizontally to the front and sides to keep the C/G as low as possible. With that tub chassis and front bumper there should be plenty of options for mounting the body without the vampire slayer stakes sticking through it. I LOVE FIAT 500series cars. As a child of the 60's I remember these tiny cars. Volkswagens were a thing but these were around just not in the numbers that VW bugs were. I used to have to rent cars quite often and I was on the Enterprise concierge program. When Enterprise started offering the new Fiat 500 I was really wanting to rent one. They didn't want to rent one to me!! Finally my usual Enterprise told me that from my rental history and their impression of the Fiats, the agents behind the counters hated them, they didn't want to go through me bringing it back unhappy. So I explained I remembered the original rear engine 500s from the 60's and had always wanted to drive one. These rental agents had never heard of the old ones, didn't know about them and thought I was nuts. I showed them a picture on my phone of one I found on the web. They looked at the picture, looked at each other and looked at me like I wasn't right in the head. I kept that Fiat for five weeks. Named it Giseppie, could do a complete circle in the width of my driveway. Took the sliding glass door apart and wheeled Giseppie into the living room (previous owner brought Harleys in like that) put the door back in and went down the street to hide in neighbors garage and have beers and wait for a young lady friend of mine to show up to use the washer/dryer. My phone rings, epic howler of an afternoon 🤣 Pulled up at work, right in front of the big windows co-workers start snickering I have these big plastic clown shoes you get at Party City...... Mr Earl had to be helped up, fell over in his office chair. If the financing hadn't go through with the terms I wanted on my pickup, I showed up at the loan institution in that Fiat pointed out the window ranted about how I was in love with it and would just buy that instead with cash from Enterprise and not pursue buying a new pickup. Got my loan and my rate. Got my truck the following week. So it's a Tamiya model car to you, to my this model is an Icon of my youth and a reminder of one of the best times I had co-exsisting with a car. So yeah the Tamiya Fiat is a gimme. And all three of those stories I swear are true, good times!

@@dj4monie what i men is they dident had like 700hp and 1000mn of torque so to be fair it where a small engine compared to todays engines it where not so much HP but the cars were light and nimble instead. 100mph most tuned car of that era would be posible to reach that speed.

If Tamiya and a german automotive company did a collab, this is how it'd be lol. Good, but overengineered. Kind of weird to be seeing this still. Not entirely sure how to feel when compared to the rest of the M chassis line up.

@schuttrostig5729 Жыл бұрын

I dont like the rear end having these adjustable toe in, it has way to much play added. Otherwise glad you got one to show it off, your paintjob looks phantastic i guess you need to buy a second body to drive it now. I suspect the complicated drive system and the rear suspension make it perform worse than the m.07 and m.08, so its nothing i would buy but fun idea nevertheless.

Yeah I know. I think because they have so many bodies available with the holes already that can be used on so many chassis’s that they’re kinda forced to keep doing it.
