I guess I am not the only one with a Tamiya RC Miata. I'll start with mine:

I have a couple here at my house. Need to dig them out and take a photo.

Also just recently acquired this Tamiya 1/10 scale Mazda 787b Mazda R/C car.

Thank you! Well, it is a RC kit. Quite easy to build and I added a few mods (better engine, ball bearings etc.). It's great fun to build it and much fun to drive (RWD).
Tamiya made this kit, it was sold out, they made a 2nd version (the one I have) which is sold out again but it usually pops up in ebay.

I don't have a video yet but will create one. :)

My R/C Miata, This one was built and then never used. I have another still MIB and some extra shells, just don't have much freetime though.

I've been looking at these, but keep thinking I want a bit more out of it than that chassis will do... I've got a few random ideas about buying a similar sized Nitro, or 4WD chassis and transplanting on a bodyshell?

I made two new pictures so that you actually can see the size compared to the real Miata:

As you can see the color does not really match... :|

I'm at last getting my act together and getting one of these, am buying (or hoping to buy!) a load of chassis, shells and bits off a guy on Ebay... in with the bits is an M 06 Pro chassis which should be about spot on for my project

OK, it looks like my local car club have gone collectively stir crazy sat at home in the snow the last few weeks... 4 of us have now bought RC MX5s and a couple more already had them... I'm getting my old ramps and cones from my dads garage and we'll have some races at the meets in the summer... pics will follow but only in a few months when we've worked out how to build them & when the weather is a lot better!!

Found this on CT Craig's List. Too rich for my blood, but a great deal. R/C Tamiya Eunos Roadster (unbuilt) - $600 *LINK* (http://nwct.craigslist.org/tag/4482876190.html)

Slightly more desirable than the M04 version, but they're not worth $600!

I love mine. Haven't used it in about a year though. Motor runs, but wheels don't turn. I gotta rebuild it sometime. Probably be hard since it is a very old chassis.

Convert to brushless and LiPo if you've got one. It'll be the quickest Miata you own then.

Cxmoney
06-03-2014, 03:45 PM
Haha. Sounds like Japanese to me. I have no idea what works with mine or what parts I need. I bought it already running. That's why it's been broke for so long. I don't know how to fix it. Lol. I just know the chassis is old and discontinued.

At Project-G we are a full HPI and Tamiya dealer... :winky:

TLDR version would brushless + LiPo = ludicrous speed (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygE01sOhzz0&feature=kp).

Worth noting: these appear identical to the Tamiya (I suspect they just duplicated the mold). No decals, but a little detailing with paint could solve that...

If anyone (like myself) is waiting for ND prices to drop... you can buy one new, soon, for only $140!

Tamiya M-05 ND Model coming soon to a Hobby Store near you! http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXFSHW&P=ML

I think I'll buy one of these, and hopefully can find some Minilite wheels to use my NA body on it...

In for group buy Tamiya!

Does anyone know the correct offset for the M-04 Miata/Eunos body wheels? There are a couple brands selling Watanabe type wheels in a variety of colors and offsets on eBay, and I'd like to get a set for when I eventually get a platform for my Eunos body/shell to go on...

Tamiya Eunos for sale on eBay as of late for $160. No instructions, but otherwise NIB, it seems. A solid buy for someone wanting to 1:10 their 1994-1997 NA!
