Claude just remember to try one thing at a time this way incase you screw up and make the handling worse you can go back one step and go from there!

Hey, I am trying to get a fan mount for my M05VII that directs the air towards the endbell of the motor. I think it will be more efficient/better cooling than how I have the fan now mounted on the steering rack and only directed towards a small portion of the motor (that sticks out of the chassis).
I found this:

Anyone know if this will work w/ our M05's? Is there enough motor sticking out of the chassis for this to grab onto? Also, is this TCS legal?? -Rules seem vague to me in regards to fan use and fan mounting ...

Active Powersports is a scam Eric.

Apologies for the poor pic. Made mine out of thin sheet aluminum, angles slightly towards the end bell but can be made at any angle and/or length.

The stiff front springs will cause severe tration roll issues. Softer Yellow springs worked great for me, and I even had red springs in the front at one point, but they caused slow laptimes. I always ran blue springs in the rear with great results...
Also, your chassis rake is wrong. You should have your front rideheight slightly higher than the rear: 4.2mm front and 3.6mm rear...

@KA2AEV I'm running white blue front and white yellow rear with 3 hole piston an 45wt oil in the shocks.
On the front I've got the option shocktower most outer hole and on the rear on the kit position.
mouving the front shocks upper mounting hole from inside to the ouside helped a lot but not totaly solved the flipping problem.
Tirewall is already glued all the way up on the front tires.
Would mounting the bottom of the shock's on the suspension pins help?

Just got back from a big event in Canada,where the carpet track was just a little tight. I finished 3rd, and the 2 guys in front of me essentially had identical setup to mine.
- soft front springs, hard rear springs
- thick diff oil
- CA outer edge of tire
It is essentially based on the HPRT setup that he posted about 30 pages back.

New Spec-R 4WD mini coming soon. I like it (even though I have a Top Sabre 4WD mini right now).

That conversation "went south" pretty quickly. I was hoping for some giggles, and I wasn't disappointed!

Your welcome Howard hahaha
Back onto mini talk, one of these days I will finally find the droop screws and use them on my V2. I wanted to make a droop adjustment last time out, but realized I have been too slack to find them. Anyone know how long they are supposed to be?
