Regulable? You drunk, Chuck?

Anyway...I went looking on RCMart...

It's a real word. Means "able to be regulated". Not sure if that's what he was aiming for.

Edit: Took me a while to spot what you were pointing out in that pic. I thought you were suggesting that Tamiya has their own version of the part. Now I've noticed the involuntary defecating.

LoL

They are VERY Regulable.


Yes, my smart phone thought I didn't mean to say rebuildable, which is actually not a word....stupid hyphens....

I like these ones, as they are $10 USD cheaper, which is like....$900 Canadian right now.

There was one weird handling characteristic I noticed with my M03 over the weekend. When using throttle or brakes, the car tracked nice and straight. The steering always returned back to dead straight after making a turn. But off power, while coasting, it always veered left a bit. It didn't seem to impact the race since I never coasted while trying to go straight. I've checked for binding in bearings etc and didn't find any.

Since I run the M06, I don't look for FWD bodies very often.. so this is why I just realised they discontinued the 50795 Mini Cooper body set.

This can only mean that in 2017, we will see them re-introduced under new numbers.. or senility has finally set in at Tamiya

That's if they ever manage to negotiate a new license with BMW.

Ferrari is the biggest nightmare for licensing. If they can manage that, BMW will be a cake walk

Same here, there must have been some sort of magnetic dragging my Mini towards that dome...

Clearly you zapped your rotor to be far too strong

Build weekends just about hear. While there is a big race series leg in town for the weekend think ill build up the new kit M05v2. Going SWB for now and set it up. Also found a old cooper body kicking around im excited to build. And found like 3 tonyscews kits for minis so im even happier 😁

Those are awesome! I didn't like my M05 for racing as it seemed to lose a driveshaft every 5th race. (it was used and abused, but I put it right).

It's really odd to me, when I was a kid, all toy RC cars were exotic cars and Corvettes/Porsches, now the toy aisle is filled with large-rimmed sedans and muscle cars. what sort of message are we sending to our kids? "shoot for the Camaro kid, you'll go far..."

And yeah it's weird that I can buy a toy RC McLaren P1, but not a hobby grade body. That said I could get a 918 or a Ferrari, The Ferrari.

Furthermore it's even weirder that sponsorship decals lose out on licensing... it's free advertising. (See Tamiya Taisan Porsche re-release as "road car").

I am looking to purchase a M05VIIr kit, ..but of course they are out of stock everywhere. Any word if this too is being discontinued OR if Tamiya is coming out w/ a new version of the "M05"???

I believe it was a limited edition run.

a limited run?
dang...

...well hopefully more come in stock... (Towers says end of December). W/ coupons I can get it for about $170. Whereas an M05pro would cost more than that to get the nicer shocks, aluminum and cardon joints. ...will wait and see.

..strike that, Tower just changed the status to "late Jan" (from "late December").
so yeah, not counting on this one.
