Well, if they continue to run a 24T pinion against 20T M03/5/6, of course the M07 will look good.

OVA and gigaplex like this.

Exactly, I would hope it would annihilate a M05 with a 20T! It certainly looks like it handles great. Maybe it was a somewhat weak motor?!

Where do you guys suggest to get Hop-Up parts for a MO-5V2? I am looking for a ball diff. TRF? shocks, and a few Alum. suspension bits. None of my local Hobby shops carry much in the way of Tamiya parts.

Would anyone here have use for this body?? Tamiya Alpine A110 fits the M05RA chassis. Maybe others? 210mm short wheelbase

Pinion question... Mod 06P different than some of the newer release pinions with just an 06 reference?

I don' t think they are different, but stick to tamiya pinions to be on the safe side of tcs....

no, not true - any pinion can be used, the spur and idler gear HAS to be Tamiya

6. Tamiya internal gears only. Aftermarket idler and spur gears are not legal.

Any suggestion's for a ball diff. for a Mo-5 V2? Tamiya has two I believe, which would work better on Asphalt? I have been looking thru a lot of posts and haven't really gotten a answer. Thanks for any info.

You'll get a bunch of opinions, but this setup made me a believer
