M05 Mini Cooper Racing
Hi all,
This is my M05 Mini Cooper Racing runner. I have added a few upgrades such as alu steering kit (huge improvement), alu knuckles and of course bearings, alu dampers and a high torque servo saver for the Savox servo.
The M05 is a bit heavier (approx 130 gr) than the good old M03, but I think this make it more stabile and not so nervous. Yet, in the chase of more speed, I will remove some of the unneccesary chassis parts to save weight.
I'm very pleased with the Sweep tire combo, running with 33 deg in front and 25 deg rear on our outdoor track. I have also ordered myself the new 3racing sealed gear diff which I will fill with diff oil 300.000. I sealed the original diff on my M03 with the same oil and it really works great.
Thanks for looking, all comments are welcome!

Ive installed a yeah racing solid diff and light weight gear shafts plus the 3 racing high speed gear set combined with a sport tuned motor and its just about uncontrolable as it torque steers all over the place. Heaps of fun but trying to keep it in a straight line is like trying to suck concrete down a straw. Do you have this problem?

@eriknyg: LMBK (Lørenskog) @Zequell: I haven't tried the solid diff, but I have installed the rear stabilizer kit, and this helps alot. If you have problems with keeping a straight line, look at your toe-in/toe-out. With too much toe out, it's a nightmare to keep a straigh line. And if you have alu dampers you can also lower the ride height which makes it more stabile.

Classy colour scheme. These shells can be a little tricky to paint, I didn't appreciate peoples efforts until I had a go at one myself. Very nice job.
