the set up to have an MO5 carry speed around the corner is different than the MO3, I have switched to the MO5, and I am still searching to get it just right to carry the coner the same as the MO3.

I do think the MO5 will be quicker once some more people get some set ups to work in various conditions. I run on very high bite asphalt, they key to have a fast MO3 was to have the car right at the point of wanting to traction ( grip ) roll.
I have the MO5 with a " safe " conservative setup, but it is 3/10ths off pace, when I switch to sticky tires ( S or A grips ) the car will go on 2 wheels in the corner.. I hope to try some other things Saturday.. going to try the adjustable camber, going to try 2 degree rear toe blocks, and I have a set of S grips with the outer tread glued with CA..

any one else want to share set up ideas for the MO5 ?
