R/C Tech Forums - Tamiya mini cooper

Dude, 0.34%. Less than 1/2 of 1%. Less paint will make a bigger difference. Farting at your car as it passes will have more of an effect. The confidence gained by a really good haircut will gain you more time than this.

Lol now I can't stop picturing fart blower minis. Can you hear it now.

That's about the only thing left working and I eat a lot of burritos. Game on.

Once again, I've said too much.

Also, I've ordered everything but the DJCs.

OMG now I can hear you over here. Burrito Monkey power!

Any ideas as to when Canadian Hobby Shops will see the M07? Wanting to try it on the asphalt track since I can gear it up to feel a little faster on a open asphalt track.

So after moving the ESC to the other side of the chassis, I was able to get the L/R balance pretty close. Still need to tinker with a couple of things but very encouraging thus far.

Thanks for the tips everyone.

Very nice that is almost 50/50 should help balance the steering out a lot. Let us know how it does. My esc is on top of the battery compartment im thinking i think it may be worth that little change.

must be either bearing or brass bushing. The hole is too big for step screw.

This kit will come with ball bearing for the steering.
