Speaking of,
has anyone driven an M06, how does it compare to the M05? I get its rear wheel, -does the rear want to spin out like an f1? I've seen some interesting vid's w/ M06's beating M05's on YouTube. I've always assumed the M05 was the better handling and performing car ...is that assumption still true?

I do think the M06 has an interesting looking design, which appears to have a lower center of gravity (than the M05)
I bought a mo6pro a few years ago. I did upgrade the shocks to the CVA/black ones, front and rear shock towers with the Tamiya carbon fiber ones and rear aluminum hubs.

I have the car set up as a LWB w/ beetle body on it. Running gear it has a Tekin 21.5 w/Hobbywing 60a ESC. The car handles very well. I am wanting to put a 13.5 in it. I think it handles better then my mo5proV2 with a 10.5.
