Tamiya Shizuoka News – M-05Ra Suzuki Swift Super 1600

RALLY READY!

Introducing the M-05Ra Chassis

Tamiya is proud to introduce a new addition to the very popular M Chassis range, the M-05Ra. Like the M-05, it shares the same chassis layout with the servo, receiver, and ESC positioned for improved weight distribution and a lower center of gravity. Furthermore, this chassis features new front and side bumpers for extra protection as well as different attachment positions for dampers and upper arms for a wider range of suspension settings. Newly designed 60D rally block tyres also feature their own unique tread pattern. Includes parts to allow you to make either a short, middle, or long wheelbase chassis car (Wheelbases: 210mm, 225mm, & 239mm.)
