Per rcmini.net it seems to need some 'wearing in' and suddenly it works, lets stick to that until I have at least had 2 races with it!

Could it be tire related? Works best with Tamiya tires?


The pulling to the left/right I cannot understand as the drivetrain is unaltered from M03. That leaves tires, shocks, uprights, links and diff (but experienced racers would not all be 'forgetting' how to set diffs all together). So, shouldn't we be looking at these? (hopeful! )
i enjoyed the build

just the driving was arse

i will persist with it and see how it goes

i am going to use the standard diff and re do the shocks TRF ones

and remove the front Adjustable upper arms as i think they are only usable for the rears
