Has anyone raced with one of these bodies? If so, how did the car drive? I have one but I haven't painted it yet.

You might look into a M03, M04, M02... something clearly FWD/RWD that uses wheelbase spacers (look at them, right ahead of the motor, under receiver).



note you can double up on spacers. there are also longer chassis spacers.

looks nice, but haven't seen it before...
unfortunately no window masks are included... that's why i will not give it a try ...

hi guys,

i had the chance to drive at the Hudy Arena ( Hudy HQ) and have to say, the Arena is really awesome...

highest standards everywhere... (Timing, racetracks, the facility itself)...

enclosed a little pic of the arena and a short vid of my m-06 driving

youtube:

+ YouTube Video

I have used another one of their bodies and I liked it. The windows are small so masking isn't a problem for me. Thanks for posting the video. Your car looked great. I've seen pictures of the track before, but it was neat to see a mini on it. Thanks for posting it.

You lucky guy,
thanks for the video! It looks like a great place to be!
Also, your driving looks very good as always!

Br,
Matthias

Thanks Matthias,

luckily Slovakia isn't that far away from austria, to cross the borders for a day
btw: i tried the M-Grips all around, but wasn't that happy as with the S-Grips
Maybe i will try them again next time , and find some other tricks to get it run faster...

It´s nearer to Austria, you´re right!
Regarding the S-grips: Not every carpet works the same (hard learned), maybe your´s suits the S-Grips better!
I had some nice driving 2 weeks ago with my M06, and learned some important things about improving my setup. I did rip some 4WD´s again, doing my best result so far and became 15th of 44 starters in our Rookie class. B-Final 5th!
It was great fun. I´m doing my write up on Sunday, and will let you know my settings for the beetle body...

Br,
Matthias

I got my M06R

can you give me some setup tipps for carpet?

maybe I will run it at the next tamiya cup.

great job matthias. next time you will reach the A-Main
also 44 entries are fantastic, wish we would have that much either

hi fritz,
i posted my carpet setup few pages earlier in this thread.
you can also write a pn for further informations if you will not find it...
i will help you with a basic setup. i guess this will work in general.
but you have to adapt this setup during tests , to find your special needs for your personal driving style

i will have a look.

thank you!

tomorrow I will start to build my M06.

in february I go for a testday with both M05 and M06 to find a good setup.

This is Aitukaki set up

Hy guys,

some update on my personal carpet setup.

last weekend , 1st carpet TCS was held in our local Series.
M-Chassis was the class with most entries

The Carpet had a very high grip level , and only non-oil additives were allowed. ( SXT 3.0, Mighty Gripper V3...)
After struggling the whole training day and the first two Qulifiying Heats for finding the right setup (i had so much understeering) , following setup made me smile

M-06R :
Front:
Type A (glued on the side)
SXT 3.0 Additive on the inner side of the Tire (for 20 minutes)
tires not heated
300 oil
blue springs
no sway bar

Rear:
Gear Diff
S-Grip (full Additive for 30 minutes)
400 oil
Red Springs
no sway bar
carbon Damper Stay - dampers on the outest position (straight up)
AND:
Red HUBS mounted reverse !!! Left on the right side and right on the left side- for nearly 0 degree on the rear.

And guys believe me, that was really awesome.
fastest lap times and fastest heat.

finally ended up in 2nd position, because i lost a tire in the finals *g* because it was not tightened strong enough -> i feel ashamed , because i was in first position with about 6-7 seconds ahead of the second one...

nevertheless i was that happy, because i knew the car is so fantastic , as long as the setup works fine...

maybe this may help one of you

does anyone know if you can use a "mini" size servo in the m06? specifically the spektrum 5010 servo?

Willie you might be able to get it to fit. I run the futaba 9650 in one of mine. I only use one of the mounting hole on each side. The servo mount space needs to be turn a bit to reach the ear of the servo. I can show you on Tuesday if you can make it to the track.
