Hi and welcome to my blog. This blog is about my experiences in RC racing, in particular the 2WD Mini Class where cars like the Tamiya M-03, M-05, and Xevo Triumph are the dominant chassis. From time to time, I’ll also feature some of the other RC interests I have.
Right now, I’ve just bought a Tamiya M-05 PRO, which is a FWD Mini chassis. I’m intending to build it so my wife and I can race it in the SPC-UK series and the CWIC series later this year.
I’ve already stripped the car down. I found when I stripped the car down that it had a ball diff, the M-05 Ball Diff (#54194) which is a hop-up option for the M-05. To ensure that the car is built correctly down to the last bolt, I’ve also stripped the diff down – my next post will go through the diff rebuild.
Over the next few weeks, I’ll cover the rest of the build. I’ve bought a few hop-up options for the M-05 that I’m going to fit and I’ll cover these too.
So what can you look forward to? Well amongst other things:
1. Tamiya M-05 Ball Diff (#54194) Rebuild
2. Building the Tamiya M-Chassis Shocks (#54000)
3. Chassis build
4.Aluminium steering rack build
5. Electrics install
6. Body
I hope you enjoy the blog and I also hope what I write is helpful to those of you who like me, are new to the Mini class. My blog is not intended to be a guide to building Minis, it’s purely a record of what I’ve done and what I think. Please feel free to comment on anything you don’t understand.
