Find attached my recent photos of my MO5L with the JCW body that I used on the weekend to win the last round of the Club Challenge at SMA in Sydney.
I qualified third and finished sixth, first and first, to take the overall win. I did not change anything on the car, just had better luck in the last two finals. The car was very stable and easy to drive.
I took a couple of photos with the body on and the rest without the body fitted. Car has a LRP 4600 Lipo, 13T BL system with 20 tooth pinion. Yes I am running 60mm front tyres and 55mm rears. This is legal here in Australia, unless we have a control tyre event. My car weighs in at 1353 gms with body attached and our weight limit is 1330 gms.
I run a 3Racing oil gear diff with 300 000 weight oil and found this had enough pull out of the corners and still maintain good turn in. I have found this weight oil to put less wear on the outdrives and maintain the blades longer. I always check the blades after every run as these are easily broken and will damage the outdives quickly, which means pulling out of the car and rebuilding. These are just my thoughts. The 13T BL system we use, (380 size can) have serious torque and wear the front universals and outdrives very quickly. This is about the only problem with the system.
Yes, I had not cleaned the car from the last final and it was reasonably dirty. My car is no show pony.
Enjoy.
