Must say i prefer to use s/grip radials up from with A type slicks on the rear.
It under steers a bit but much more driveable.
Alternative we run for more performance is A type slicks up from and M01 HPI Xpattern radials in the rear. Works a charm when theres serious competition.
Not sure if that is allowed in TCS though.
We run Sport Tuned black motors though.

Saw a M05 run this past weekend and was pleasantly surprised how much more planted it looked compared to the M03 lwb.
The M03 lwb with the Swift body is THE package to have locally but that looks to be under threat with the M05.
