Just getting into Mini racing - outdoors...Can someone explain what is meant by removing the rear braces? what chassis is this for?
I have a M03 short wheelbase...set-up is
- ball diff packed with tamiya antiwear grease
- TRF shocks short white/yellow springs, 60/40 oil
- Tamiya sway bars
- option alum steering knuckles
- silver can, 3200 Lipo
- KO VFS-1 speedo & servo
- Tamiya stock tires rear, s-grips front (used this combo in the main and way to much oversteer) After the main - purchased low profile Tamiya slicks
In the main, changed to the tire combo above...huge mistake...oversteer city. Had problems all day in qualifying with understeer and got desperate int he main...learning lesson.
Albeit oversteer issues in the main...Best fun I've had racing in a long
Asphalt set-ups appreciated. Dealing with a highly competitive group of Mini guys in the North East.
