Heads up M-class racers … Tamiya is reporting a brand new, ground up mini in the near future!
This new chassis, slated the M-07 Concept, was designed by the same engineer that sketched up the TA-07 Pro and will take some styling cues straight from that TC. It’s rumored to be a major change in both looks and performance – I’m super excited to see how this new ride is going to drive!
Features
• The M-07 Concept will be available in kit form with a length of 332mm and width of 164mm.
• Similar to that of the TA-07 Pro, the main chassis uses a 1-piece monocoque with integrated upper frame elements.
• The M-07 will be available with two different wheelbases, adjusted by flipping the rear suspension arms (M: 225mm, L: 239mm).
• A major upgrade; new,long suspension arms and steering linkage components for better handling. Rear toe can also be adjusted with included spacers.
• 4-wheel independent suspension with CVA oil-filled shocks.
• The M-07 comes with an oil-filled gear differential (from the TA-06) and uses universal driveshafts and a full set of ball bearings.
• FINALLY! The chassis will be compatible with standard IMFAR LiPo regulation square-shaped battery packs.
• The chassis will also accept Low-Profile servos – more selection, less weight.
• The body body mounts have been reinforced to make them more durable with less flexing.
I’ve always loved the M-chassis class and am very excited to see it coming back in a big way. We’ll have more info and photos when they become available.
