This assembly kit creates the M-08 Concept high performance R/C chassis, which employs a midship motor, rear-wheel drive layout for superior rear traction, plus a main frame split into front and rear sections that allow 3 different wheelbases. Smooth 4-wheel double wishbone suspension utilizes CVA oil dampers and long suspension arms for a ground hugging drive, and the front caster with a pairing of 0-degree suspension mount and 2-degree hub carrier. An oil-filled gear differential provides smooth drive, while motor and gearbox are positioned to ensure powerful drive under acceleration.

The RC Racer
One of the coolest car kits of the year is undoubtedly the Tamiya M08. The M02 was one of the most fun to drive chassis of the nineties, even Marc Rheinard was addicted to driving it. Marc ran hundreds of laps in these cars around his dad’s racetrack in Andernach. The mid engine rear drive chassis probably helped him to hone his skills and made him the great R/C car racer he has become.

The M04 and M06 cars never captured the magic of the M02. They were not a good match for their FWD counter parts on the racetrack. I was hopeful that the M08 would recapture the magic, and when I saw the first cad pictures and then held the M08 prototype I instantly felt that the magic had returned. This chassis has all the makings of being a hit and putting rwd racing back on the map.
