Tamiya mini cooper
Who has some setup tips and what mods you did. TCS mod tips which work or what setups are popular. More concerned on M03 or M04.

thanx

But there is a Jap company that made (or used to make) a speed-tuned (higher ratio) gearset for the M03. Can't remember who, one of the usual suspects.
How high do you want to gear your car anyway??

Sipa give me your e-mail address and I can send my set-up from TCS Nats last year. It is aggressive for M04 but for TA it was by far the fastest car about .5 a lap

For TCS you cannot change the counter gears but for local club etc. you would be able to

Hey guys! I have a Mini (M-03), I really like it.
Just onre thing though, it seems to really understeer, which is easy to drive but I like to have slight oversteer, is that possible with a front drive car?

FWD = Push, Understreer
RWD = Oversteer
Try using hard springs on the rear and lighter springs on the front as well as decient tyres. I've heard the hpi x patterns (for the hpi mini) work well.

Thanks for the tip Fatdoggy. The car works much better now, it's actually faster than my f201!!
It really flies with a 12 turn motor, and shreds tires like crasy, just one thing, I need a new diff. The spider gears in the stock one have disapeared and left behind a ton of metal flakes, anybody know where to find a ball diff?!?!

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I'm sure there were more M03's at the Tamiya TCS in Aliso.
