I just painted up a new one as well. Top half is light blue, bottom half is white... I can't bring myself to run it, looks too clean.. for now it will be used only for concours
I rarely run it myself. And if I do I make sure I'm alone on the track.

A lot more secrets to share.Your daughter is a real good driver by the way, saw one of your videos on youtube!
Keep on casing the M05īs !

In general, I believe everything short makes a car reactive/quick while long makes slower/smoother movements. Right now I just slapped on the softest tamiya springs I could legally use. Will test several tomorrow (long, short, red, yellow, etc). Front shock length is around 55mm (one black oring to limit length) and 57mm rear (no limiters). Uptravel 2mm front, around 4mm rear.
I don't have the pro black springs. Are they as soft as the neon or stiff as the newer thicker red/yellow springs?
Thanks for the kind words. My daughter is already running TC mod (4.5T).
I spent so much time tuning the M05 in 2010 that I'm so sick of it. The M06 is a breath of fresh air, a new challenge

Thanks, I meant 30wt and 40wt. Made the correction.
If you guys have tips, please let me know as well. Right now, I shimmed the slop out of the car, almost zero slop front and rear. But handling became very, how should I say, ugly.
