Hey all,

Need some help from the M05 V2 Gurus. I have a M05 V II R on black carpet. It rocks! no complaints, I am just about to do my final round of upgrades including the Alum TRF steering and front uprights. My question on the Alum front uprights are which part number should I use? The original is the #54177 but I see the RA #54253 which seems to be the updated unit. On the stock parts Tree in my kit it uses the RA #42168 so I feel like I will be fine just wanted to check before I dropped $30 on them.

Car started off as a M05 V2R #84424 (so motor mount, double jointed shafts big bore shocks, batt holder etc)

Hop ups so far

Tamiya options
-Sway bars
-Heat sink bars (10-15 degree heat after run actually functional)
-Pass side Motor counter weight
-Type S Radial tires up front and Med radials out back (glued outside of sidewall on front all the way to the top)
-Suzuki Swift body (about to change it for a miata which I know is quicker)
-Carbon Rear shock tower
-Upper chassis braces removed


3 Racing options
-Spool (was 18 or 19 grams lighter then stock as well)
-Alum 20T pinion
-Fan mount / Team powers fan

Electronics

-HW 60 Amp esc
-Trinity 24k 21.5
-Sanwa servo
-Orca 8500 120C Pack

I will post pics later, and share some more set up if anyone needs
