I will buy a couple of them for sure, even though Tony won't.

We'll still buy a few, just to see what they're like. They just gotta be an improvement over the M04.

If nothing else the rear mounted motor will slow down the end swapping enough so that you might be able to catch it in time before it steps right out.

And check out that battery compartment. To me, it doesn't look big enough for a 'normal' pack...

No prob dude.

"level playing field" being the keywords.
In a level playing all (and everything) will be equally competitive or non-competitive depending on your point of view.

I'll be getting an M06 as soon as I can. I can't see where the battery goes on that though.

In the middle, under that bar that has "Tamiya" written on it. Best place for it, really. Looks like it should be well balanced.

Don't forget, M05 beat Xevo at the TITC. Its all driver. And I'm not biased cause I love my Xevo

I really like the design. I like the placement of the servo, battery, and the motor. I just bought my m04m so I won't be getting a new car anytime soon. It would be nice to test drive and see the difference of the m04.

I'm wondering whether the battery has a removal slot on the bottom of the chassis like some of the Tamiya buggies?

Might be a bit hard to get it out around the steering arm etc.

What are the weird blocks just in front of the rear wheels? I thought they might be a CAD version of an ESC, but there is one on both sides!

I'm suffering a case of indifference with the 06 too. As much as I wanted the M04 to work - they are just not a nice car! Hopefully the 06 addresses some of the issues

Hello everybody, this is my first post. I'm from Spain and I own a M03, what a funny car!

Well, I'm very interested in a RWD M-chassis car but I'm afraid to buy a M04 because it's discontinued and not very popular, so it's very difficult to find parts for it. Then, the M06 is a great new for me.

I think that one of the most realistic bodies for this chassis is the Fiat Abarth TCR, because of its RR layout. However, I wonder if the electric motor leaves enough space for the plastic engine which is included with that body. It seems that both are located at the same place. What do you think?

Sorry for my english

Battery access will be from bottom.

M04: took me a long time to get it to drive the way I wanted.. In the end I put weight in the rear bumper to get it to handle to my taste. At present I defected to a cup racer, only non Tamiya car in my garage... Can't run it though at Tamiya track.. So if the M06 is balanced I'll switch back.

Your English is perfecto!

M04 is a fun car, but you should wait and get the M06, it will be more fun and more adjustable.

Classic Fiat Abarth TCR should only be on RWD chassis. You maybe right, the plastic engine may not fit because of the motor. We will have to wait and see!

I know that as soon as it arrive at my LHS, I'm gonna pick one up but I have to tell my sorry azz to wait for the M06R. The R version is so worth it...too bad I couldn't wait for the M05R so now I own two M05 with the 280Z bodies and one M05R. I will be adding to my stable a few M06's as it look like it's more tunable. Can a TRF201 gearbox swap be possible?

The M03/M04 cars are good but whatever Tamiya comes up new is better. If Tamiya goofs up on anything...it got to be good.

TRF201 gear box swap.. That's an interesting thought..

You sure about that? These pictures say otherwise. Note the typical posts with holes for body clips used to hold the battery bar in place.

I know it's unlikely that it'll be a direct swap for the TRF201 but for the love of Jesus Christ, can't we ghetto rig it somehow to accept the tranny. That would be a sweet deal.
