Title: New Tamiya MO5 Pro project! Post by: gokemidoro on January 02, 2011, 12:46:44 PM Hey, all!
Just finished this MO5 Pro, took a while, was waiting on a body, but everything's done, and it's a little screamer! First the pics: http://s974.photobucket.com/albums/ae229/KarlMatsunaga/tamiya%20mo5%20pro%20phase%202/ Here's a vid showing some really modded MO5's, and how they do at the track! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcX1PwrW-Y8&feature=related And here's a little girl who practiced for only one day, then raced, and WON! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-7cGhuqhxI&feature=related Title: Re: New Tamiya MO5 Pro project!

Title: Re: New Tamiya MO5 Pro project! Post by: gokemidoro on January 02, 2011, 11:59:45 PM Yes. Actually, it's not that new, because the MO6 is already out, but it is FWD, whereas the MO6 is rear-wheel. I put up this thread, because the MO5 is just so much fun, even if it isn't tire-shredding fast. As you saw in the vids, they won't go faster than 20-22 MPH, but they turn on a dime, and at full speed! :giggle:
They are a great diversion from the more serious aspects of RC, and can be run on drift courses, when you need a break!! They are a ton of laughs, because they look like cockroaches scattering when the lights are turned on!! ;D :giggle: :giggle: Title: Re: New Tamiya MO5 Pro project!

They really do Title: Re: New Tamiya MO5 Pro project! Post by: gokemidoro on January 04, 2011, 08:25:51 AM Hey, all!!
Just mounted a 15T motor and new ESC in the little blaster, and gained 15MPH, which, in the MO5, is a major gain!! :thumbsup: Might have to put a gyro in it, to keep the little cockroach :giggle: from spinning out at higher speeds! It'll do 35 easy, now!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: Title: Re: New Tamiya MO5 Pro project! Post by: Rocky_Balboa on January 07, 2011, 02:50:56 PM 35mph?! :thumbsup: man.
Does it really need a gyro to prevent spin man?! :o For someone who would never need gyro's for a drift, wanting for the MO5 is :giggle: :giggle: Title: Re: New Tamiya MO5 Pro project! Post by: gokemidoro on January 07, 2011, 03:56:41 PM I tried the gyro out in my garage, and it makes the MO5 act weird. I took it off, and it spins out really easy, if I'm not careful. Better tires will be the next mod!! ;D
