Frenky's car was fast......
I tried his car yesterday and here is my comments.

His car tend to unload after a certain speed because of the nature of the track (carpet). This limits the motor/car to exceed a certain speed and go faster. Also Frenky complained that there was not enough steering for his car. This is completely not true.... His car can turn a 180 due to the fact his back is less grippy. The feel of his car was nice. Also his chassis does not suffer from the traction roll from M-chassis. Therefore.... in conclusion, it is not fair....... for him to run with us. I would agree if he runs a mabuchi. His run times are also very short compared to us.

Thank you Pink for the detail analysis of the race last night. 1/10 touring car with 23T VS m-chassis with mabuchi motor is not so fair la.

Dear M Chassis Owners,

I recently was running my M04L completely stock (inclusive of the friction dampened shocks) in 1U. I have concluded the following characteristics. The M-Chassis for 04L (Long) tends to suffer greatly from traction roll. I have tried a few types of tires like Foam, Slicks, Radial but to no avail the problem persists. Can someone suggest to me how do I solve this problem.

The problem happens when the car is at the middle of the corner. I have noticed that the car actually side wheelie and turns over OR flip acrobatically if it is fast enough. So driving styles have to be changed (slow into corners) which is no fun.

I am thinking of using the Anti-roll bars (but no stock yet) is it helpful in this case?

I am also thinking of hardening the shocks to acheive less traction on both the front and the rear. The question is HOW HARD?

The Carpet festivals are about to begin and I have yet to solve this problem.

I have also tries other cars M03 and the 1/10 touring cars from tamiya and there are no such problems. Is it due to the fact that it is Rear-Wheel-Drive?

Please comment.

Lookey here buddy. Traction roll ? ...... simple solution.......dig deep into ur pocket / wallet and fish out RM100++ buy Tamiya CVA shocks+TRF shock pistons and ditch the friction damper.

Have not tried rear drive M chasis but if your tyres are too grippy, it would sometimes traction roll into corners especially if u r too aggresive. Try less traction tyres or different combinations.
