I know the HW 13t seems to be the most popular set up, but has anybody ever tried the Tacon 12t 2950?

I have a feeling you would get quite a bit more bottom end out of the 540 tacon.

Do you still run a 20T pinion with the HW 13t?

I have seen a couple of vids with the 13T and they realy scoot

does the 35a HW esc get hot without a fan? not that there is not room to keep it on.

So I bought a used M05 and planned on making it look my real mini cooper s that I drive. However I did not realize the 2006 Mini Cooper S body is longer and I guess it is meant for the long M03L... http://www.tamiyausa.com/product/ite...oduct-id=58400 Has anyone used this body on a M05? If so, how did you mount it because it already has holes in the body and I really didn't want to add more... Is there any different body posts that I can use? Thanks for your help.

you just make the m05 into lwb by following the instruction manual. everything you need is already on the chassis, its not like the m03 where you need extra bits to do it.

Thank you very much! I didn't get a manual with the car so I will go to their website and download it now. I was starting to get bummed out I couldn't use that body! You made my day. - (this was the whole reason I got a M05... )

Quick question with hopefully a quick answer:

Are the M04 bodyposts the same position and an M05? ie: Will a body designed and drilled for an 04 fit an 05?

Cheers

M-04 posts are positioned differently. More like an M-06.

Yep - LWB

Why do you think they made a point of mentioning that it has a gear diff? New type of of gear diff or just taking advantage of the current hype? I'm hoping for new product.

Well thats why I bought a 240Z...not to sure of the response at the track yet. If we start an open class I think I might have to try one out.
