Any suggestions on what ever whould be nice. I`m racing it on carpet and will be running the TSC Series.
Thanks
Welcome to the Canadian Mini scene!
I'm guessing you'll be at the Fastcats TCS races over the next few months?
The only thing you'll need in addition will be the batteries.. I'm not sure what charger you have, but the only choices are 2400mAh NiMH from Peak or Orion, or the Reedy 2400mAh LiPo pack. All depends on your budget.
I have a couple 8-month-old NiMH packs if you want to start out on the cheap, or you could just go all-out with the LiPos and be set for a few seasons and one pack.. just a matter of adding enough weight to keep your tires on the ground. That's one thing I certainly liked about the NiMH.. it's heavy enough to run as-is..
Have fun, and see you at the races. I'll be one of the few with M-04's.. Your M-03 should be very competitive, and there will be tons of M-03 racers out there, plenty of stuff to learn.
