I decided to take up Ivan’s M03 Stock Mini Challenge using an old car and spare parts from mine and Adam's parts collections. I was given an old, well used M03S to work with. It had:
-bearings
-M03 C-Hubs
-M05 Aluminum Steering Blocks
-CVD axels
-Aluminum Yeah Racing shocks (that were built wrong)
-half worn S-Grip fronts with CA edges and M-Grip rears
-used Poche 911 short wheel base body.
Everything else was stock.
Modifications:
-M05 plastic C-Hubs on the car to make the suspension work. I didn’t have M03 Steering Blocks so might as well use the aluminum parts.
-Rebuilt the shocks with 3 hole pistons, 35W red front, and 30 blue rear all 57mm. This was the shortest I could go with the misc spacers I had. Was going for 55mm overall length.
-Dropped the ride height as far as I could. Its around 5mm-ish.
-1205grams race ready
-I added 2 shims to the diff, MR Style.
-Added the WCICS Orca 2200kV and Hobbywing Justock ESC. Speed control got shoved in the tail section.
-Front toe is about 1 degree.
-4000mah round pack.
-Added a zip tie around the servo saver to tighten it up.
-Added heat shrink to the servo horn screws to make the links smooth.
-Replaced the worn ball cups at the steering blocks.
Now to race it this weekend and see how it goes. I'm betting its a solid car that will allow whoever drives it to get their best results. I'm looking forward to it.
