Here is my new Lid.

Hey, do you guys have issues with the tires rubbing the body?
I have two points that rub; In front of rear tire and just under the edge of the front bumper. I can fix the front by limiting the EPA (too much steering when racing is bad anyway) ; however the rear tire is an issue, I am thinking about using my dremel to cut down the lower arm and shim it backwards into the middle of the wheel well what do you guys do?

Do you put them on the front post of the rear? As you can see in the Pics above if a lift the rear of the body the angle would push the body closer to the wheel. Lifting the front up would help but the car looks like crap with a negative rake.

try this fan,

or this heat sink,

U can also try a can of compressed air. The ones to clean computers and electronics that usually come with a thin straw nozzle. Turn the can upside down and spray, it will shoot out the compressing gas which is freezing cold. I used it right in the cooling ports of the motors and on the heat sinks. Cools it right down fast!

You're using the stock heat sink already right?

Thanks for the advice. Actully i am not useing a heat sink right now but we are planning on putting one on for the race. How much compressed air would it take to cool the motor right down? Does it take a bottol just for one pit stop?

I'm going to be probably the 100th person to ask the same question, but here goes.
Why hasn't Tamiya updated their rules to either;
A: Allow brushless in the TCS series
B: At least use a more updated motor than the closed endbell Willy?
I ask this because I'm really interested in the M03 platform but the electronics restrictions are killing me
Is it because of the "value" price point?
Is it because the "heart" of the M03 is spec racing?
I ask this meaning no malice and disrespect, I'm still going to get one regardless of what the rule "are" or "change" to.
I was just kind of wondering, cause I am a fan of spec racing more than anything and the concept is awesome.

B. Not sure I understand what you mean.
The mini is set basically to be the true heart of spec racing. This is also because of the value as well I am assuming.
