SERIOUSLY infected with this little car disease...thanks to you guys
Ball Diff is more critical than in an M03. My M03's I run gear diffs.
Universals are not a requirment, but I think it is a little smoother in the corner.
If you can the M03M susp parts makes the care more nimble. Only thing the heatsink is added weight, but it can be offsetting weight. I don't run it,though. Oil shocks are required.
