Will this fit a M03/M05/M06?

Chris- I like the lower camber hole better, but it does traction roll in that position a little easier, and a lot more bump steer in the lower position. The upper position seems to work better later in the day at MMR...

Originally it was thought it would fit but apparently 3 Racing are now saying that it will not fit in the M chassis. If it did fit it would only fit the M05/06 as it needs 15x10 bearings for the diff outdrives

Default M05 Servo Saver

I got a regular M05, I was wondering which servo saver should I get? The Tamiya one or the Kimbrough? If Kimbrough, which size and do I need to do any mods to it (I know the M03 required a little mod).

Yes, was unsure about the bearings. But i think i would buy one for test in M05/M06 when they are released.

Merry christmas to all!

I was told to run the medium Kimbrough as the stock unit was not very good. No mods needed to use it in the MO5.

Try both.
The bottom hole wears the tires out much faster!

Looks really good Eddie, but it had better be really, really good. We may all be chasing Kevin Nino cause his 05 is as good or better than any Mini I've seen.

Have a Merry Christmas and hope Santa brings you a good radio.

Here is my M03 . I just unpacked it from storage . Found out there is a fairly local indoor carpet track that is running a mini class . I just need to get some electonics for it and it is good to go .
even found a brand new mini cooper body set to paint up .

in the pic , it is on touring car foams , I used these in for bashing around with the old body .

I have a order from Hobbyking coming next week . New Lipo charger and battery .

depending on how much i get charged for duty and stuff , i will hopefully be ordering a new 2.4ghz radio system and esc & motor .
