The red looks nice... the combo with blue I can live without! Fortunately my Mini is almost all black so a red chassis might look nice alongside my TOP tourers!

Re: locked diffs. I haven't had a great deal of track time with the M-05, but running on carpet, I cannot get the car to run straight with one, the steering is always fighting itself. I find the open diff loses too much momentum mid-corner. My favourite so far is a gear diff with very thick grease (Mugen super grease). It has the right balance between confident straight line running and corner momentum.
