I race M03 in a club here in Mexico that only allows Tires(tamiya, hpi, ride rp), mostly there were 2 racers qualifying on a certain lap, about 8 of us one lap behind and 12 to 15 more racers a couple of laps behind then the rest of the field about 15 more racers, the races where very competitive and no boarder line illegal issues until now.
Since a couple of months one of the top guys has been qualifying (5min hits) 3 more laps than the rest of the field and wining the A main (20 min) by more than 5 laps.
I’ve noticed he lowered the ride height, but he sling shots out of the curves in a way no one of us has been able to emulate,
M03`s have a tendency to spin the tires on acceleration HOW DO I CURE THIS?? (tire incerts, diff, dogbones, ride height)
I run the stock gear diff and shim it tight with 5 shims 3 on 1 side and 2 on the other and it's allmost like a spool very little diff action the car ripps off the conner!!!
