Well after 2 seasons of racing now my M03 is so tweaked the left and right toe in at the rear are different from each other and the car drives sideways down the straights (Still one of the fast ones oddly enough). Anyway the car is pretty much in need of a complete rebuild which I'm just not wanting to do so I'm thinking on replacing it. I'd prefer not to get a 4wd just to stay within the spirit of the class...but I do want a CF chassis instead of plastic. The only Mini I know of that even comes close to fitting the bill is the Tech Racing one based on a pan car but the base car on that I feel is over priced as I would have to pay quite a bit more to get the ball diff and CF chassis for it. Are there any other Minis out there that meet what I'm looking for? Also I dislike having the battery pack down one side of the car. I would prefer crosswise, centered, or saddle pack car. I don't want to give up on Mini yet as I have so much fun with the class...I just can't find the car that I want. Any suggestions?
