I just ran my first pack through my M03. I was expecting it to be a slug with the silver can Johnson motor, but the little thing is pretty fast. The car is out of the box stock with bearings. Any idea how fast these little things are? Any prayer of keeping up with a 1/10 scale sedan on a tight track?
Seems like it would be a handful with a ROAR-type stock motor.
ive run mine in stock against 1/10 sedans before, lots of fun but you need to be real smooth to keep lots of corner speed because they get lots of wheelspin out of tight corners. they also get knocked around easily by sedans. usually get hacked of the track by some meathead who's pissed at being beat by a mini.
