Mark and Carl dusted of their Tamiya TT01’s to compete in the 1st round of the Winter iconic cup at ⁠Chippenham model car club. But it is the Tamiya M Chassis class which caught Carls eye....
It is wrenching time and time to get the M chassis cars ready for the track.

looking forward to using the Core RC TC spring sets for fine tuning the handling of the M07 and other 1/10 TC chassis
Which ESC is the best option for you, is it Hobbywing 1060, 1080 crawler or 1080G2. Soon we will feed back on what is best for RC car racing...

The HW1080 esc's are really fantastic little units. I've got them in all my current cars and ironically none of them are crawlers. 2 modern tamiya and a vintage rc10 and ultima. They are really great to set up and work so well. The programmers allow you to really set them to a specific car nicely. Puts everything we had in the old days to shame for sure. cheers.

Wow Yeah Racing parts are super expensive there. Here in Malaysia it's 170 quid for a full kit the arms drive shafts hubs, shocks and more rhe only thing it doesn't have is the C hubs and servo mount but for 35 quid you can pick them up. I think though to much aluminum parts adds weight and not enough give maybe better for all that on a drift car or as spares.

Yeah they are more expensive as they have to be shipped half way round the world

Hi Carl I can highly recommend swapping out the blue alloy ball stud for the steel or brass ones on the m07r as it has the hardened plastics and I found that in crashes the alloy studs tend to shear off quite easily

I found running xray progressive springs work well on a m05 ver 2

I'm thinking about picking up the NSU M-05. Got any tuning and set up tips on that one? It will be getting bearings and oil shocks immediately. Additionally, you make great and informative videos. I got back into RC about 3 yrs ago and started with bashers and 1/10 and 1/8 off road racing. Recently joined an on road group that runs TT01 Euro Truck, TT02 and TT01 touring cars. Last time I built a Tamiya was in the late 1990's. Your channel was one of the first ones that popped up when I was searching for Tamiya information and tips. I have since built and raced a TT-01E Euro Truck and that was a lot of fun. Props and keep up the good work.

Will hopefully have some tips soon …

Just looking at your m05 looks like you mounted the ESC on top of the chassis the side platforms which screw on keep the weight a lot lower an receiver goes on opposite platform

@PopalongRC 8 ай бұрын

I have the option to put them there … thought process is trying to get weight forward.

@Robert-gy4lv 8 ай бұрын

For getting the weight forward the front bumper is a great place for some weight as it's hollow.there is a great article on the rcracer on m05 set up found it a great help dialled in my car very quickly using it might be of help

On the 1080 the Sanwa issue can be resolved by upping the BEC to 6v as the receiver is a HV receiver. Not possible with the 1060, as it is not programmable. Just check your servo can take the higher voltage and you're good to go. 🤙

@Luke-en2tk 8 ай бұрын

Oh really I hadn't heard that but that makes sense I was pretty sure it's a receiver related issue. Unfortunately quite a few people race with the HW 1060

@MrFu75 8 ай бұрын

There's gold here in this there comment!, Last time out (and only 4th run) my inconsistent braking issue was much improved, i was running my bec on the higher voltage for the 1st time. (7.4 vs 6v) So a capacitor issue then Millhouse?

@davidorbell5803 8 ай бұрын

question your m05 has a rectangle hole for the battery and mine i used to run has the classic oval, did you modify or is there 2 versions of the m05 chassis ?

@PopalongRC 8 ай бұрын

I believe this is the version 2 M05

No man just No. Please just remove the price tags before filming. Wives and girlfriends might watch. They don't need to know that a couple of important springs cost nearly £20.
