Tamiya M-07 Concept chassis kit – Coming soon

Tamiya have officially announced the forthcoming release of the all-new M-07 M-chassis kit. Although there are still no images available, Tamiya USA have released information on all features of the kit that was designed by the same designer who brought the TA-07 Pro Touring Car Chassis to life. The chassis takes a number of design cues from Tamiya’s touring car models and features a largely changed design from its numeric predecessors. The goal set forth with this new platform; ease of maintenance and responsive drive characteristics, all of which were attained during its development. The kit is set for a release at the end of June and it will be accompanied by 13 hop-up parts that will become available at that time too.

Features:
– 1/10 scale R/C chassis assembly kit. Length: 332mm, width: 164mm.
– The core of the chassis is a 1-piece monocoque with integrated upper frame elements similar to the TA-07 Pro. It is designed to offer excellent rigidity with easy maintenance.
– Choose between 2 different wheelbases (M: 225mm, L: 239mm), simply by changing rear arm attachment direction.
– Newly designed front and rear suspension use long arms for ideal leverage ratio, in tandem with long steering linkage components. Rear toe can be adjusted simply using spacers.
– 4-wheel double wishbone suspension is fitted with CVA oil shocks.
– The TA06 oil-filled gear differential is used to drive the M-07. It is paired with universal drive shafts and full ball bearings.
– Compatible with standard IFMAR (LiPo cell-type) regulation square-shaped battery packs.
– Compatible with Low-Profile servos.
– The chassis was designed with easy access to the stabilizers (sold separately) for quick, precise adjustments vital at the racetrack.
– Body mounts have a new reinforced design for more secure body attachment.
– The chassis gives its driver excellent “feedback,” allowing you to judge with clarity how your setup changes have impact.
