No worries Tony. I am a psychotic car nut, which is why I know this stuff. lol. I think you may be on to something as to why it may not affect M03s. It could also have something to do with the light weight of the vehicle. I think it would be fun to test it and find out why. Anyway, a couple of years ago I was monkeying with my TC3's diff setup and I noticed that when I tightened down the front diff as much as possible, the thing had horrible turn-in characteristics. I realized that setting up your diff is as much art as it is science. You need to work to find that happy medium....

On another note, does anyone know when the VW Bug version of the M04L is going to be released here in the US? I really want to get my hands on one of those. Tower Hobbies has it down as late June, but I wanted to know if anyone had a more concrete date. Thanks.
