Figured I would throw some hype in this thread it's been a minute. I have had 2 other M05's in the past first one being the base kit and the second a V II R kit. The M05 was my first M chassis and I have grown fond of it no matter the era we are in. I had a M07 after the first two M05's and that car was great no complaints but I ended up selling all of them as they were sitting more than being used.

Couple months back I decided once again to buy a M05 V2. Friend of mine had a V2 pro band new in box so I jumped on it. I applied all my Tc building tricks and shimmed everything on the arms, hubs, links etc. I wanted to bring this V2 Pro into the current Era with my voodoo & get a nice set up for Black carpet. Has the key hop ups but still missing a few which I plan to finish it off with (Alum steering, Arm pins, Alum hubs etc). Like duckman said a few of us locals have been ripping Mini for some fun & it's a good mix between M05,M07,M08's with our buddy bringing some older M03/M04's out for some laps. The M05 V2 can still rip & compete at the top! It's been fun bringing this dated chassis kit up to speed once more, & enjoying every lap these M-kits have to offer. Tamiya's never die they only get faster 😉
