Cheers, I didn't think it did. The ebay ad states it fits the 05ms chassis, but they appear to be wrong.
What if any upgrade parts can you get for the ms ? I've seen carbon battery straps, bumper straps and titanium turnbuckles, but not much else.

1. i weigh all my electronics.
2. i weigh my lipo
i take the difference between the two, and put that much weight on the lipo.
once this is done.... i take the remaining weight that i still need to make legal weight...and distribute evenly around the chassis.

this is just HOW i do it.. so it might work for you.. it might not.

I measure each wheel's weight on a 500g limit scale. the position of the weight makes a huge difference when it is close to the center or far off the center, front or rear.

Well I've been running the TA05ms now for 3 rounds of our local indoor carpet racing and its been quite impressive out of the box. Easily competitive and the handling has been quite neutral. The main issue I'm having is back end grip, or lack of it. On power its fine but once the powers lifted the back end just slides around on the bends. I've tried reducing the rear end droop incase the weight transfer was picking up the back end, but still no real inprovements. I don't want to lose any of the steering as the tracks are quite twisty but this sliding is really killing my lap times.

Right I've made the adjustments to keep the rear end from sliding, fitted my lipo and cut off and hopefully should have some good racing next weekend. They really don't give you much chassis room !
