Tamiya M-08R - Full review of the mini-sized rear-wheel-drive RC racer! 

I own the regular one ("Concept"), and I can agree with most of your impressions. It's a pity the regular model is not for sale anymore, as it was near as 2/3 of the price, which made it a more compeling initial purchase.

Great Vid . I Really enjoyed that . great tips and honest opinion is smooch more valuable then a an unboxing video with a fat trap music in the background ahaha . been looking at these M-class chassis for a time this vid make me want to get one . Keep up the good work

Hi! Great video and great build. I have a question: Using that body (TAM51583), were the premarked post holes in exactly the right spot? I was just curious since the body came out for the m06 first and wasn't sure if the premarked holes are perfectly aligned for the m08 as well.

A dremel with a sanding drum goes a long way on those wheel arches**

I got the m08 and upgraded, carbon shock towers, the kit rear is like over cooked pasta, yeah racing ali bolt on hex”s, m07 rear ali suspension mounts, yr shocks, yr ali steering rack. I’m really happy with it and it performs well against mostly m07”s. I do agree with you and think it’s disgusting that you have to drill out holes and dremel bits off. I’ve been running 6000mah lcg packs but have ordered the kit to use a 4000 shorty to see which is better. Overall, i love it!

I have it, but I do not like it so much. What I agree with you is understeering. I begin to think that rear-motor-mount is not a good idea because the inertia mass in the front cannot carry the rear after braking for cornering. It's considerably cheaper than XV01 because M08R has got most official upgrades in the box. I agree with this kid (or this kit) is always understeering. I don't think high-grip wheels can solve the problem completely. It's better to add some weight in front of the car. On the other hand, though "TRF" damper sets are in the box, I think they are still too short for cornering.

Thank you I'll be getting the concept with a few hop-ups I think :)

Wonder why Tamiya made the spring adjuster black while all the other shock pieces are blue? Do they sell that part separately in blue and is it a different size since its big bore?

Hello . Grate video. I was wondering if you can show me your current setup sheet ?
