The word concept is being used because it's exciting to nerds. It works. We're excited.
Can't wait for the M-08 Thingy.

I hope it is successful, but I remember the F-201 all too well.

looking at the manual,... what a nice refreshing design for a 'mini'.

It's definitely Tamiya, with some nice new features for a mini. I'm still mystified by the "stiffeners". Wondering why the chassis couldn't have been made stiffer on its own. Front suspension reminds me a little of a CC01. Glad to see upper links that will offer more adjustment options.
What I'm wondering about is ideal damper length. I suppose if the droop setup is better than the 05 V2, I'd just build them full length.

I'm relieved to see the 'clamshell' style chassis done away with.. also a 'normal' motor plate so you can really set your gearmesh is a nice change, all while still being limited on the range of gears.

The shock length issue looks weird. For the sake of 2mm, couldn't they just lower the shock tower slightly instead of require a longer shock? Seems weird that their premiere TC has smaller shocks than their mini. Also, the part number of the shock shaft for the M07 is the same as the M05 pro kits, so either the length isn't really any different or they used the wrong part number.
i am running a v2 R at the moment . i have some tamiya alloy front steering knuckles and rear hubs. are the steering knuckles compatible with the RA front uprights? also will there be any geometry change when adding them . the alloy rear hubs look a little different to the plastic ones

You could just get the standard F parts tree to use with the alloy parts you have to maintain the same width. Guys around here use them with the DCJ without any problems.
