To be brutally honest, the car doesn't really excite me all that much.

It's fairly obviously just a 'quick fix' to enable the fitment of a wider range of bodyshells because the M03 still has severe limitations in that area as we all know.

And the lack of room for electronics is really bad and will be a huge pain in the ass. I'll be interested to do a corner weighting test on it too like I did on the M03. I suspect the balance will be significantly different, and not necessarily better either.

Don't be fooled by the 'Pro' tag. It's a fairly common trick Tamiya use to indicate a chassis sold as just that, a chassis. i.e. no body.

Yeah I'll still get one, no problem there at all. But given the opportunity I cant say I'm not disappointed that they didn't go in a different direction.
