I know you need your ball diff to be as stiff as possible on a M-03 to avoid wheelspin while cornering.. but how about the M-04? Does it need to be tight or loose?

I have a IB 3800 made the right way 1.917 492 run time I will sell for 30.00
ran it at the Novak race "that I won I may Add" if anyone is looking

My m03 diff is locked and the wheels still spin through the corners due to weight transfer everyone I run with uses pretty much the same setup and experiences the same thing

you mean hop? mine hops a bit thru the corners.

no the inside wheel literaly spins under power from the weight transfer during cornering

can you find those gears again???i need them so much to kick some ass those M04L in my track.

Im trying bro, Need to kick a lot of us here in our tracks!!!

For the M04, i would suggest building it as per the instructions. I made the mistake of using a stiff diff and was having lots of problems on carpet during the tamiya asia cup race last year. The tail swings and snaps during cornering and after i rebuild the diff flushing out the AW grease, the problem was solved. Have yet to test it on outdoor tracks but i guess it should work well too.

Anybody looking to sell a hopped up mini? I have been looking at them for a while, and just spent about 4 hours reading through this thread. Figured this would be the place to ask as well Thanks!

Go to Northwest For Sale, there are 2 that I have seen personally. They are both fully hopped up, and almost new.

You can try buy/sale tread at Manila Racer, Minis are in, and there are lots of hobbiest looking for a mini.(Tamiya Cup had just started there)

are the aluminum Tamiya mini cooper shocks different from there regular tc shocks?

Alloy shocks used in mini's are the same the tourers but with spacers inside to limit travel as per guide: http://www.tamiyausa.com/articles/fe...?article-id=12
