MINI CARS RAIL CORNERS!

[@terence79chan]

Sweet! These mini cars look really cool. 👍

[@rexrcs]

They are!

HAve you tried gluing the sidewalls on the m-tires on the front, might also help with the rolling(same with trucks). That camera on the body will also significantly raise the CoG, while its lovely to watch, could probably do the tuning laps without it ;D Fun to see on the m05 when you had it not roll for a few laps, an then as it picks up traction compound from the track, it starts to get more grip. Always fun to watch the track day videos :)

At my local track where they do a bunch of club racing with 88-91 Civic/CRXs, I've been watching and mocking their setup since 2016 and what they typically do right off the bat suspension wise is remove the front sway bar and replace the rear stock one with a thicker 24mm or so one, I've always wanted to run a FF RC, I wonder if removing your front sway bar would give it just enough traction in the front but also enough oversteer in the rear. It's worked magic in real life. I've oversteered coming down and even up off and on ramps repeatedly whether it was the rain or dry. It was fun but also the fastest way around the corners, buried in 2nd or well well into 3rd gear corner entries. Thats the beautify with FF, its like you need to color in between the lines even more careful

It was good seeing you back out on the track and very cool to see two new contenders out there! I love my little M05, I have not gotten an M06 yet. I can't imagine trying to run on the high bite carpet but it sure is fun throwing it around on the asphalt! I enjoyed hearing you talk through the runs, I have missed that!

[@RCWilderness]

Those cars look amazing.

[@rexrcs]

I think so too!

[@allanjohnsen1034]

Great vid ! this is really valuable info, both for what to buy and how to make the cars perform 🤓

[@rexrcs]

Glad it was helpful! 🙏 thank you for the feedback

[@rcrelatedstuff6092]

Man those are some really nice looking cars. Just bought myself a Beetle rally on the MF01X chassis but I am now also seriously considering the Alfa Romeo on the M0-6 chassis aswell. Kepp your great videos coming.

[@rexrcs]

Thanks for stopping in to chat and thanks for the feedback! The beetle rally is quite fun especially with upgraded taller shocks, I’d recommend a front shock tower because it will allow you to move the suspension points out and gain lots of front traction. Have fun with it! The M06 is a gem I think, I just took my brother to the track with three minis, m08,m05,and m06 and he preferred the m06, hes NEVER driven an rc before really. With the new release of the MB-01 i wonder if Tamiya will discontinue the M06 and m05

[@bluegroovemodelsports9650]

Very cool looking little racecars

[@sqweezzstr]

Sounds dumb but before I order one of the servos you've linked us too, they're obviously quick enough for us to be competitive enough / within the pack?

[@sqweezzstr]

My dads been trying to find something budget friendly. I had purchased a Futaba one a year back with metal internals and has been beautiful since then but he's trying to find something budget for TT02 races

[@rexrcs]

The 25kg is fast enough but if you want quicker, go for something with low transit time, the link i posted isnt what im using, i can no longer find a link to what im using, im using spt touring car servo, similar casing as what ive linked, except I sometimes use 9kg for quicker servo movement

[@Im_Bloody_Close_to_Being_a_God]

Something that I would 100% recommend to everyone is the budget savox servos. There a little more expensive than the futaba ones but there pretty bloody quick for the price.

[@bluegroovemodelsports9650]

Absolutely fun. And the track rash gives it racing character

[@RCBirds]

Great video. Thanks for showing all the details. And the FPVs. One little thing beside. Can you please check your editing software or microphone? In some videos the right audio channel turns down or shuts off completely.

[@UncleBobsRC]

Great run Rex... Love the back & forth take on the 2 Rex's, LOL.. It's gotta feel good to be back at the track.

[@rexrcs]

hahahah, thanks, just being silly. I am very happy to be able to track again, but now its warm outside....oh yeah baby

[@Im_Bloody_Close_to_Being_a_God]

The m06's are notoriously hard to drive and tune on asphalt. It's good to see how they do on carpet

[@MauzyrockRC]

Terrific track talk and tuning Rexs. I am learning something though I am unsure to ever get to a real track with any of my non tuned rigs :) Cheers!

[@FastFreddyRC]

Very cool!!

[@Im_Bloody_Close_to_Being_a_God]

M05s have such a distinctive sound 😂 I could tell it was an m05 without even looking at it. We run an m05 in a field full of m07s. Our car is slower obviously. But it's also a lot louder haha

[@tm5123]

Yeah, allowing M07/m08 into M-chassis races, has killed the whole M-class in my area. A "starter" friendly class where you can drive the 100€ M-class, but you cant compete unless you have the 200+ M07/m08, is why it died. I think Tamiya made a boo-boo, with the M08/07, and probably why the MB-01 is coming out, as a more standard chassis for M-class racing.

[@Im_Bloody_Close_to_Being_a_God]

@TM In NZ we had to change all the national rules to accompany them. Our local club ran the m07s for a while but we all changed. We all run hobbywing brushless motors to keep the speed equal. All the cars are now wayyy expensive! And that's considered to be a budget class. 300 nzd for the car and 150 for the esc motor combo. Am out the box m05 with an esc and silver can, that works fine, is 200 nzd.

[@RFVCXR200R]

For my Tamiya shocks, it's pogo or nogo.

[@eddiewong5120]

Rex lets bring it to the track monday, I really want to see how it handle on carpet.

[@acanwsi]

Amazing job ! Tank u for all the videos Where is this track? Can a beginner drive this track? When is it open for public?

[@rexrcs]

This track is in Vaughan Ontario Canada, open to public yes, its called Phoenix RC Raceway

[@JF-RC]

Hi there Rex, a great looking racetrack and some great rc’s. Take care best wishes 😊😊

[@rexrcs]

Thanks, you too!

[@bradkalman2353]

Now you want an mb01.

[@bradkalman2353]

The Alfa is rwd in real life

[@mtbsyd]

Great video. when you do your changes are you doing a change at a time or grouped for video purposes

[@rexrcs]

Great question! I usually try and do one change at a time, however in this video you are correct, I went with multiple changes to cause a drastic affect to keep the video shorter. A typical track session is about 3 hours plus, so I try to compress it as much as I can while still leaving information as much as possible

[@alantaylor353]

I wish I had a shop Rex & a track Rex.! 😂

[@rexrcs]

I wish I could have a place to run and help everybody who wanted to come play!

[@simonkubacki9823]

How do you like the rugged radio?

[@rexrcs]

The touch buttons are terrible and dont work when it rains and gets wet. Im only a spektrum user because I had so many to begin with, if I were to restart, Id go futaba or sanwa,

[@alantaylor353]

Hey Rex, what do you use to wipe your car body clean.? Was that brake cleaner.? Have you tried WD40.?

[@rexrcs]

I currently use brake clean to remove the black rubber marks off the body, wd40 i nice and works but not on the rubber that gets built on the bodies from hitting the barriers
