Manta Ray and TA03 are the same. There is also one that is made for the M05.

BumFacedGoat,
Yes but as I posted I'm questioning it as most setups I've seen (for the M03) are running heavier fluid. As I posted I'm looking for reassurance. Hey Tony, Yes I read through that but I'd probably rate SA as med - high grip and hence discarded it. Where as the track at Keilor I've heard would probably best describe the track here.... (low grip, hairpins x 4, sweeper x 1). Would you not change anything from SA to Keilor? thx.... :cool: |

Anyone tried foam tires on M chassis to run on ozite carpet track? The size is similar to 1/12 pan car tires, I think the inner diameter is pretty close.
I see Tamiya is re-releasing the old monte carlo mini cooper. Wish the local track starts running m-chassis as spec class. |
foams are available to suit mini chassis, they can be found on ebay(search Tamiya M03, i think theyre the first thing to come up) and in some melbourne hobby stores , havent tried them personally on carpet used a set years ago on an outdoor bitumen track and they gripped well but didnt last long , have been meaning to get another set to run on the carpet at radical rc when wednesday nights start up there again

Just a heads up on the M06 and keeping your motor alive. Run a fan on the thing! My motor temp after a 5 minute race (indoor, carpet, with a heatsink) was about 200° f. Having the motor hanging out back like that seems to hamper airflow quite a bit.
I hope I didn't kill this motor. It's the only good one I've got. |

Your motor ran really cool when I pinned you into the sweeper wall yesterday :D
Where can I get the 3* rear uprights for the M05? I filled the gear diff with 500K oil and I love how it handles now, but I need some more rear toe to plant the back end a bit more coming out of the turns. |

Airflow never really happens when you run this slow I guess. Jim |
were you using the aluminum motor plate?
