Y'know, I popped onto the thread here, saw those things and thought that they were just another excuse for being lazy and not building your shocks right in the first place.
It took about 10 seconds for me to say...COOOOOOOLLLLL!!!!!
I thought about having greasy, shock oil covered hands for about 9 seconds.
I want me some!

It appears there are only 2 shops carrying the new, nifty droop limiters. RC Mart carries a few items by Corsair. Corsair also sells under the name Novatech.
Anyhoo, I've emailed our best new friends in the world to see if one can buy direct.

Yet more new shells for our Minis!
First up is the Autobianchi A112 (best known to most people as the Fiat 127) A pretty cool little jigger for those who love the classic 70's hatchbacks
But the one I like is THIS one. A super-cool little hotted up Suzuki Carry Pickup. I SOOOO want one of these!
Both made by Team Atlas, and available now on their Beat 4WD Mini chassis. Not sure about just getting the shells by themselves yet...

I have been meaning to try this, but always seem to forget. The M03r comes with rear alum uprights, there are 2 holes, upper and lower, do they do anything? Currently I got mine on the upper hole.

i've always understood that using the lower hole in the upright - resulting in a higher inner pivot point - will generally increase the roll of the car at that end...and with other things in consideration, generally increases traction.

Lower outer pivot point will lower the roll center resulting in more roll and in theory gain more traction but makes car more snappy on intial turn in to the decreased camber gain and more initial roll and therefore take away traction mid corner because of decreased camber gain.

Thanks guys, I will try it on the lower hole during one of my practice packs to see if I see an advantage or disadvantage.
