Meet the Tamiya 49417 M-03R: Tunable Touring Chassis

The Tamiya 49417 M-03R Chassis Kit is designed for hobbyists who prioritise setup flexibility and precise handling. It builds on Tamiya's M-chassis heritage and is commonly chosen for tight circuit layouts and controlled practice sessions.

Fine-Tune Handling with Multiple Wheelbases

Three selectable wheelbase positions are offered: M-03 (210mm), M-03M (225mm), and M-03L (239mm), allowing a balance between cornering agility and high-speed stability. Aluminium uprights front and rear contribute to a balanced chassis feel.

Quality Dampers and Aluminium Hardware

The kit includes clear blue CVA dampers and a range of TRF damper springs to suit different surfaces and driving styles. Blue anodized aluminium parts such as the motor heat sink and servo mounts give added resilience where heat and stress are concentrated.

Rolling Chassis Supplied, Electronics Not Included

High-grip 60D radial tyres on chrome wheels are part of the package, but the R/C system, ESC, battery, and motor must be selected separately to match driver preference. Classic bodies like the Mini Cooper remain a popular choice for this chassis.

The Tamiya 49417 M-03R Chassis Kit is a solid choice for experienced modellers seeking a tunable, lightweight platform for track work and competition preparation.

Shorter wheelbases can increase cornering loads and uneven tyre wear if alignment is off; longer wheelbases spread load more evenly, often improving tyre life on fast tracks.
Upgrading dampers, selecting correct spring rates, and using higher quality bearings usually yield noticeable improvements before heavier or exotic upgrades.
Many clubs and forums share setup sheets for M-03R variants. Start with neutral settings and adjust toe, camber and damping to suit grip levels at your track.
Yes, the wheel size supports alternative tyre compounds and profiles. Swapping to softer or harder compounds is a common way to tune grip and handling balance.
