newbie question
newbie question.
I have M05pro and would like to know what would be the advantage of the aluminium steering rack?
On Saturday, I took my car to the track for the first time and it was "skipping" a lot in the corners.
Rear: M-grip and blue springs
Front S-grip and red springs.
Carpet track.
thanks for your help.

Firstly swap the springs around and give it a go! With the way you have it now you probably have lots of oversteer or you spin out on every corner.....is this what you mean by skipping?

There are many hop ups that are totally useless like the aluminum motor heat sink. The only useful purpose for that thing is to act as huge washer for the motor screws. The aluminum steering rack is absolutely required except for the highly skilled who never hit stuff or each other.
in the corners,the rear wheels are "hopping (jumping)" instead of staying "attached" to the track.
Sway bar set can help the rear end.

The point I was trying to make is 3 Racings set up is around $20 and is worth the money. Tamiya's stuff is about $60 and really is only for the TCS racer. Why clip a barrier or dot and have your car go crazy???? especially in the middle of a race.
Eliminating some of the up and down play in the arms may, and I repeat, may, improve the steering response, but only until you whack something. Then something will bend, unless you are lucky. It's usually the right arm and if you've shimmed out the slop, it'll just make it worse.

Does the M03 Sway bar set fit the M05? If not then what's the part # for the sway bar set for the M05?
