[integra22t]

ive got my tamiya striker up for sale on kijiji and a guy message me about a trade for a tamiya m05 .. i gess its a 4wd mini ? i looked it up a little and it seams like a nice little car .. not much info on them on the site

is there anything i should look at for broken or damaged parts ..

if i do get it is there a eg (92-95) civic hb or ef ( 88-91) crx shell around that would fit it ..... or 94-01 integra ( fingers crossed )

thanks

going to strip it down and rebuild .. looks like a fun little car

M-05s are fun little cars. Especially cool when you run in races with M-01/03/05s. The zip around like little go karts.

Trying to think of what to look at but nothing major comes to mind.

Frewer made an EG Civic hatch and an Integra:





And I think HPI made an Integra and EG or EK hatch.

Ugh, all Tamiya plastic bushings? Or just beat up bearings?

Stock M05 doesn;t come with any bearings, just plastics and some bronze bushes.....

When you do the bearings, don't forget to do the steering bushings....

6 5x8

Yeah, what M5 said......

Going from the manual, there's six for the gearbox (2 x 1150 in holders in the chassis, and 1 x 1150 and 1 x 850 in each of the spur and counter gears), four in the steering (4 x 850), and eight bearings in the front and rear hubs (8 x 1150).

So, you're looking at a total of 12 x 1150 and 6 x 850 bearings. That's your 18 piece kit right there.... I would imagine the 14 piece kit does not include the steering. Not sure what the 16 piece would be!

Alex

Just the steering bearings you see? Lol

Possibly..... other thought I had was all the bearings except for the chassis side bearings that the front axles ride on. Seems a bit weird to provide an opening for a bearing, then change the size of it with a spacer..... must be some sort of option part that fits in place.
