For outdoors or larger medium grip indoors tracks I would consider running the long wheelbase. So for indoors I would usually go for medium, and then opt for short if it is a very tight track. The medium one (225mm) is a good compromise for overall stability, nimbleness and cornering. The short length chassis (210mm) is very nimble, great for small tracks, the longest chassis layout (239mm) is superb for larger open tracks as it puts more weight over the front axle giving you more grip into the corners, however it can be slow to respond quick changes of direction on the infield. The M05 comes with the ability to have 3 different wheelbase settings.Īs you would expect the different length changes the way in which the chassis handles. This is a good purchase along with 5466 if you want to convert your base M-05 to a nicely hopped up V2. Tamiya also sells a set of key hop up aluminium parts for a M-05v2 (84407) which includes the aluminium v2 motor mount, servo mount, servo horn, steering posts, arms, rack, heat sink etc.
