Happy birthday, Bob!
I feel very much the same way. I may have gotten really sick a few years ago and I'm pretty messed up now, but I still get to play with toy cars! Life is good.

Seems to be a world wide shortage. Are these now NLA?

Nope. Still a current part. The last batch we saw were ultra sticky, too. Maybe they're between production runs?

Belated Happy Birthday Bob.
Is there any cake left, cause I didn't get my slice yet.

After some experimentation, using the conventional "tricks", they are a little better and we've managed to lessen the "mushy" handling. Of course, this makes them illegal for TCS racing. Hopefully, when the new #1016 premounts arrive, it will be with the old cpd rubber.
The problem seems to be the softer rubber cpd makes the sidewalls too soft. It makes for traction rolling and a "mushy" feel" to the car. We've tried various solutions like stiffer inserts, cyanoing the sidewalls, double stuffs, building up the wheel between the center ribs, etc, which helped, but the older premounts were still quicker. Most of the solutions tried are illegal for TCS racing.

"I could set the building on fire."
I was just going to post that. Happy belated, Gramps!

Thank you all, but the post was only to let you know that life is good. I do appreciate and enjoy each day more than before, take less for granted, appreciate each friend and kind word or act more than when i was younger.
Also, that careful construction and attention to detail in your set ups can keep you competitive. Don't win many races these days, but the lap times haven't slipped much if any. What's happened is that the guys are getting faster and their set ups are better. Hopefully, I had a bit to do with that cause I've shared much info over the years and have posted quite a bit.
Unfortunately, this has ruffled a few feathers, which is okay. A little controversy is good for the discussion. However, one must acknowledge that someone having a differing opinion, does not make him your mortal enemy. Really, there is more than one "good" way to build a diff, or shock length, or set up, or combination of spring and shock oil, etc. I will admit to getting irritated when someone pontificates. But that's a failing of mine and needs a bit of attention.

I'm looking to fit a foam front bumper to my m03.
Would an aftermarket m05 one fit.
I'm not sure if the mounting points etc are the same, they look pretty similar in the photos

Hello first time sorry for my bad english, I'm from Switzerland.
I want to ask her how the M05 Gear differential cone filled with oil without all this boils?
Thanks

If you are referring to the 3Racing differential, it uses a rubber seal and O rings to keep the oil in. While constructing the differential, some air space is left to allow for expansion.
