Tamiya M05 Pro
#25
This new mini seems to suffer the ailment the real mini has. It's getting almost as big as a "normal" size car. Right now I think it's close if not already capable to take the battery lengthwise, which I think would be a good idea. Not sure why Tamiya didn't do it yet.

Pretty sure the new Tamiya is the same width/wheelbase as the older minis...

Perhaps the picture is distorted lengthwise, but if you look at the battery in the picture and take its length and turn it sideways it looks like it would fit hence my comment. The older minis did not allow this at all. Sure, everything else has to go out of the tub, not sure where but I think the battery would have the priority in the interest of weight balance.

and you my friend should get a life !!!!!!! If we wanted to talk about HOI cars we would go to that thread. Just as you should if you don't have something constructive to say about the M05.
