I have a confession to make, I like most M chassis.
Most of them are very much borderline toy-grade, save for the M07/M08 you're looking at cheap plastic, bushings, friction shocks, etc.
I always felt that they made for fun, if expensive "novelty" on-roaders. Just something fun to run around...
To preface this, I did not buy any of these as kits, I often buy my Tamiyas used at a decent discount (and because I don't like applying 100+ stickers).
I've owned a ridiculously hopped up TT02B, a Type S, R, Ds, and vanilla models, all used, and all were just a bit...eh?
The S just comes with...
Hi
My tamiya grease is empty and I am about to start on my Tamiya Midnight pumpkin build. I have some hudy graphite grease that I use on my track racer (Xray XB2 and XB4)
Is this safe to use on the plastic differential gears?
My Tamiya TGX Mk1 has served its time, it’s been an eventful and fruitfull 2yrs but I decided that I want to try out nitro buggies instead of touring. Due to my decision I’m actioning on eBay considering the price of these other tgx’s on eBay it should sell for 200 or so cheaper than the rest...

I'm wondering what motor I should use for a drift/touring build with a Tamiya TT02 Type SR?
Brushed? Brushless?
Also I'm thinking of getting a hex screw kit for building the car, is it worth it?
Hey,

Hi,
I recently bought and installed the quicrun 880 into my Bullhead from 1991. The operation was smooth and programming easy as usual...but one thing keeps giving me headache. The ESC is cutting out from time to time, for example when accelerating full throttle directly from reversing (I've...
Hello everyone
I have a Tamiya Mercedes C11 Group C car. It’s now so old the tyres have all split, and also due to it being so old I cannot find replacement tyres/wheels. Does anyone have any tips for where I could get replacements or if any other wheels are compatible??
Any help is much...
So this is probably a very noob question. But every time I see anyone with Tamiya buggies, they are always brushed. Why is this? Are Tamiya buggies unsuited for the power of a powerful brushless system? Also, I don't do organised racing, because another thought I had could be that they are...
Introducing some of my fleet. I try to take good care of my stuff because I was a destructive kid. It didn't work out well. Now I can race and bash and repair like a pro, to keep my rides tight. And make the next owner wanna pay $$ for your rig.??✌?
