Really... high rpm is what I don't have off my Sonic. It has torque, A LOT of torque, but gets pretty hot easily when timing is advanced. Bert recommended me to get a 12.3mm rotor.
It works fine on a 4WD m-chassis like my CupRacer. I thought about putting it in my 4WD truck...

A lot of these motors come in a couple variations. I was at the till last year, about to drop cash on a couple Trinity killshot motors, when the clerk pointed out to me that these were the rpm versions, not the torque versions I wanted.
If the powerband of a motor is fine, but there is too much torque off the line, your esc might be able to adjust the amount of punch.
I like that the TrackStar motors have a non-bend at the solder terminals. I had to straighten the Vulcan one when I installed it on my V2 and soldered the straightened area so that it would not break off. I was like really..? Geez, Tamiya
I will give the red can a try next time around.

You can use a ball diff from a TA03 (P/N: 53267) or the M05 ball diff (P/N: 54194)

As for the punch, I have it set at 'one' which is supposed to be the softest, plus EXPO on my radio. It still had too much abrupt throttle for my V2 to handle.
But honestly speaking, my V2 sucks, now that I had time to really compare them with my dialed in SabreFD Mini and latest rebuilt M03. I can't get the V2 to dial in very well. I need to stiffen the diff and work the suspension some more. I may even start using the monkeyracing diff in my V2.
I currently run the TA03 diff and it's too loose. I need to take out one of the bell washers for sure.
Also, any comments on the 3Racing gear diff? Any leaks?

This. Maybe it's my Hobbywing Juststock that's holding my car back. It's on my list of things to check.

The 3racing diff is a good standard diff. It has a gasket, which will prevent oil from spinning out. A good idea is to use green slime to coat the gasket and housing. Personally, I use 2.5 million to do this.
Like Jim and AJ, I switched out the aluminum outdrives for the steel ones.

This would be great for prototyping. This is probably the first and only time I'll ever want a 3D printer. The finished parts will be under a lot of stress, however, so a solid hunk of metal would be best.

yes
but i wouldn't necessarily call it a 'problem'..
i used the BigBore shocks on my Nats winning car... previous to that i used the 'plastic shock' pistons in the regular TRF dampers to dial in my setup.. When switching over to the BigBore i chose an oil combination that felt very similar... yes, a SOFT setup...

Anyone ever painted their Mini chassis? How were the results?

I have been waiting for Tamiya to release the M05 V2 chassis in fruity colors like they did w/ the M05.

When you order it, also order a set of the steal/hard outdrives as the stock ones are too soft.
