My blue M05 is shelfqueen since the whole coating sucks static electricity like a condensator. The discharge happend through TX and it went wild for half a second when discharge. When i lift the car up and held my finger 10 cm from the motor the spark would fly. I belive it's a combination of many things like rideheight, coating and carpet. The strange thing is that the blue M03 chassi did not have this problem and with almost same running gear (ezrun, spektrum TX, lipo, foamtires and plastic gear servo) and same carpet.

And to think of it, i bought two kits of them along with extra red, black and blue frames. Also have two of the silver frame specials....
I guess it's like Alienware computers, who needs them? But my god they look and feel nice, eh?
