I really like the car in all, but I guess I'll have to race my indestructible M03 for the championships.
Thanks for convincing me to buy the new Tamiya M05 chassis when it comes out.

Judging by the numerous posts in this thread of people having to...

shim this, cut that, droop this, change that screw out, smooth out that bearing seat, use F201 springs, degrease the kit's bearings, swap out the thrust assembly with a spare Tamiya one and shaving off suspension arms, among other fixes too numerous to mention...

...the Cup Racer sounds like too much trouble.
