Nerobro,

If you can run worn M grips up front and new on the rear.

M05 V2 likes more front toe out to be stable. Rear camber I have found the less the better and car likes less rear toe in. I run only 1 degree on my car. I use a front shock tower with the shock on the 2nd outer hole and on the rear 1 hole out from standard. I only fit my shocks to the standard positions.

I use a TOP racing oil gear diff with spacers to prevent side to side movement within the chassis and use 300k oil. I have found this diff to be better than the 3Racing product for me. Not TCS legal though.

On carpet you may want to dial out some of your steering and you need to be smooth with your inputs. Very easy to roll the car with quick steering input.

I build my shocks to be 56.5mm top to bottom and do not use the droop screws. Personal choice for me. I use Tamiya TRF shocks but again my choice. I use Tamiya hopups after the amount of issues I have seen with other aftermarket parts, that can be tweaked but you can not see. Although they have gotten better.

Just my thoughts.

50 Cal.

now to go hibernate for awhile.

I really miss Granpa in this thread.
