Ha Ha!.....Thanks for the info guys. But; I know about all of that (I've posted my own set-up a few pages back. . . . .page 138 - post # 2068).

I just want to run this chassis more relaxed.

I think the Longest Wheelbase is the answer for Ending some Oversteer.

Hello guys!

Is there a Tamiya MChassi parts interchange chart somewhere?

That.. might be a fun thing to get defined. Sadly, I only own a M05 and a M07, so I can't do a stare and compare.

M05/M06... I believe the arms, hubs, uprights, diffs, axles, gears, bearings, wheels, shocks, all interchange.

My 2019 New Year resolution is this. To win the Tamiya Asia Cup (8 countries) with the M06. Have 7 months to get the speed.

One thing that I did with my M06 was place the ESC in the rear end of the battery tray and then place a shorty lipo in front of it. If you have chassis balance issues, put weight where you need it. Wheel base for this setup I think is mid, but could be long. The body I use is the mazda miata.

Fingers crossed...

Re-read posts from 2011... can't believe it's almost a decade since M06 was released. Anyways, while I read setups, one thing missing is build quality tips. So here I go


Build quality + setup = speed

I recently used a setup I found on rccartips... I think it was a setup for portia's car... Developed by yuichiro Tanaka... It was superb. Worked well with my s13 Silvia shell.
i did transfer the service and eac to the battery tray though.
Thanks for sharing!

So cool that you give the M06 a go again Joel!
I´m with Raman, if anyone can do it, it´s you and Porsha! Thank you very much for your tutorial, really informative! Seems I know know, why I Always ended up on the innermost holes on my M06.
All the best for your preparations!

Greets from Germany to you and all the old M06 guys here, Matthias

You're my kinda dude. Doing actual math, and doing good comparisons. This.. is incredibly uncommon.

Hi Matthias, Nice to here from you again. Is M06 still being raced in Germany? Porsha quit racing, so it's just me now. Yes, rear innermost gives most balanced movement with the stock front shock angle

So the headaches begin. First time out, was not even getting the car to go straight. Reasons 1) bad servo, not centering 2) front track wider than rear.
Because of that, hit something, destroyed the plastic steering linkage. Wanted to retire the M06 hahaha.
Fabricated a graphite steering plate from an old F103 fiberglass chassis. Now back to testing.

However the 8 year old plastics are disintegrating. Shock towers, steering linkage, servo holder, are just cracking to dust

At least you can buy the parts new still. And the car is still in new production.

.... I suspect we're going to hear about a M08 in febuary....

Interesting... My m06 uses 6mm hexes in front and 4mm hexes in the rear... Handles really well.

Won't having a wide rear track cause the rear to lose grip?

Did a lot of track width testing today. For my car, the end that is wider has more lateral grip. Which sounds good to me as it aligns with theory, wider has less lateral weight transfer = more grip from both tires.
Especially on-power from mid corner to exit. If rear is wider I can catch the slide. If narrower, sudden spinout.
Yours might work well depending on other areas (e.g. camber, toe, etc). Mine was at zero camber all around, 2deg toe rear, 0deg toe front. M-grip tires all around.
Maybe you used a front tire with less grip than the rear?
