Another Tamiyacup race last weekend this time on grippy ETS carpet. Huge, fast and technical track of 540m2.
I changed to thicker oil in the diff, now 7k, and added a rear swaybar. The bar did not work, the thicker oil in the diff was great. Lots of traction and good balance mid corner.
I run the M06 back to back with my M05 V2. Lap times almost equal. But again with the M05 very consistant laps and the M06 very fast followed by bad laps. Mostly because of having to move for competitors (M05) driving other lines and own mistakes (flip over dots) So finally the M05 was a faster choise while the M06 was more fun to drive.
Next race is on very high grip carpet with a long very fast corner where you make or kill your lap. We will see how the M06 performs there.
It is still very funny to see people reaction when they realize it is a RWD M-chassis that was running so smooth.
