Ive tried kit tires in front and s-grip at the rear... both with the hard inserts... worked fine although i think i could have used a little bit more steering for the low speed tight s-curves...
So am I correct in thinking that hard inserts will give the car less grip? |

My testing methods are pretty crude in comparison to yours. We just throw 2 cars down on the track and see which one goes faster. In every instance, the 21.5 was quicker down the straight than a TCS legal Silvercan. Lap times are also quicker with the 21.5...

17 flat was the fastest I went with your silver can Granpa, and that was hustling the mini on clean, tight, no scrub lines...the BL guys were doing that cruising middle of the track.

Hi all,
I won't be racing my M05 until next year so won't have time to experiment :cry: Has anyone tried kit tyres on the front of an M05 on carpet? I've heard some clubs are using kit tyres with additive on the front and M grips on the rear, this is to help with the twitchy feeling of the M05 on high grip carpet. Anyone tried this? |

Not necessarily imho... they're not that hard and minis dont go as fast as touring cars so the dynamics are a bit different. the harder inserts helps the tire retain its shape especially around corners... keeping a fuller, more usable contact patch. Softer inserts might fold "more" during corners giving the tendency for the car to "hook".
It's the 53255 ones right? (60D) Cheers! |
Hi guys,
I have in the packet an unused M03 mechanical speed control. Are they worth anything?? Cheers! |

Is there a hi-torque servo saver in there somewhere ? You'll need one.

Nope, that I still have to pick up along with some paint. I'm still undecided on the Tamiya or Kimbrough one...I guess whatever they have in stock.
I'd be interested to hear how the Kimbrough performs though..... |

Kimbrough! I've got several Tamiya heavy duty models and find they get bound up one way or another, even with mild contact. I use Kimbrough in my 03 as well. Usually L or XL, re drilled/shaved down for proper alignment.

Still selling my Mini Cooper with hop ups if anyone is interested. M05. Pm me.
