These speed secrets I have been giving you guys are real, and done to my mini m03.... I learned about them reading an old mini thread where a fellow racer went to drastic measures to fix drivetrain noise in his m03, and ended up gaining alot more speed than everybody else, when using the same legal motors... With the advent of red dot motors, there is a big chance that doing all of this won't mean you'll be the fastest mini around though.... I am not winning Amain's yet because of my driving mostly, and accidents, but I've won Bmains, and I've discovered that my Car was fast only when I used someone else's silvercan throwaway motor. My laptimes, with motor and new setup concepts, went from 19.1sec to 14.8sec... Most of the Amain drivers do consistant 14.5sec to 15sec laps , so I am righy there, but I recently discovered that they were charging at 8.5volts the whole time, while I charged to 8.4volts(8.25volts at rest) with an old mrc charger... I am sure to pickup some speed when I start charging like everybody else, but the track has been closed since November 2012... Sorry if it looks like I'm picking your brains, but I am only sharing knowledge here....
