I'm in the final stages of completing the build and noticed something. Though I haven't mounted the wheels and tires yet, the front end seems to have a lot of positive camber. I put on the turnbuckle ends at 4;5 mm spacing in between as the manual says. Is this normal? The back end seems pretty flat.

Hi,
maybe you forgot to cut the frontball heads, each should be shortened 2 mm.
You can find it in the manual step17!
Best way is to check the actual camber in the end, and adjust it. Cutting is not so exact, so the 4,5mm gap isnīt either...

I bought my car used, so not sure what the manual has as its base settings.

Thank you. Totally missed that part in the instruction. Now it makes sense

I had it on my TB03 recently, claiming the steering.
Afterwards noticed to have switched the front uprights...

Sorry,
switched the C-hubs, not the uprights. No good idea with built in 4°Caster...

In Japan, most of the setup sheets I've seen, they use the M05 ball diff for the M06. So far I've run gear diff, will be trying the M05 ball diff this weekend.
None used the TA03 balldiff.
Oil seems to average around 200 - 300wt front, 400 - 500wt rear. Tires were mostly same front and rear. Either Tamiya type b, m, s.

That sounds interesting,
should control my actual camber again.
At themoment Iīm overthinking rear drive train on my car again,
Iīm still in doubts what is better: M03 balldiff, or my 3 Racing gear diff,
which I built very smooth for RWD.
Does anybody have some experience to share?

I heard that the M05 Ball diff has some week points (which can be solved with some 416 parts), so I went in the beginning to M03 Ball diff built with Anti wear grease instead of ball diff grease. This worked very well for many runs, and was a bit less understeer than my kit built diff with AW. (less stiff)
Nevertheless I damaged the thread somehow during adjusting, so I went to my meanwhile purchased 3R gear diff, as Iīm not fixed to a Tamiya regulations. I like the value for the price, you get blades against wear and good reliability.
Damper oil is always a secret, when you donīt know the used pistons and dampers. But just referring to the oil wt, I tried the same range f/r.
Thank You!

Visit the tamiya trf site. Though in Japanese, you can download the winning setups from various events. Usually 3 hole pistons.
Springs are hard to decipher. I'll get my Japanese friend to translate.

m05 diff main gear is narrower than ta03 diff main gear.
I like the Tamiyausa site for TCS racing classes description, http://www.tamiyausa.com/tcs/tcs_classes.php
My local track / club should allow more m chassis to race each other instead of front wheel drive only.

Time to blow away the M05s
Tamiya M06 - Build, tune, race

And youīre damn right, to get the best from the M06, time and testing trials are the key!
On your pic you try currently the neon springs, probably the long versions, as you need no additional spacers in rear? Do you get any advantage compared to the shorter black springs fromthe Pro kit?
And what shock length do you prefer to define the droop?
A lot more secrets to share.Your daughter is a real good driver by the way, saw one of your videos on youtube!
Keep on casing the M05īs !

On the Tamiya M06 build, race, tune web page it said that you are using 300wt front and 400wt rear oil. Is this correct? Those wt numbers are pretty thick for shocks. Do you mean 30 and 40?

I'd assume he's using the Tamiya oils... These use the numbering in the hundreds.
