Just thought I'd post an update on those who may have been following my trials and tribulations with my M05M. Yesterday was Tamiya track day.The car no longer seems to "hate" me and is starting to come around. It's now almost decent. Sometimes, when you confer with one "group", your thinking can get a little "inbred". Thanx to rccartips, he got me thinking outside the box and made a couple of suggestions that made a big difference.

Did not spend much time on the 05 cause my M03M took up most of my attention. The car was pretty good but was not giving me as much steering as I like. Swifty had loaned me an Abarth body to try and this change gave me the steering I was looking for. Couple of little changes and this car is going to be a bullet. Too bad the driver won't be able to wring the best out of it. But I'll tell you what, it's gonna feel good taking a gun to a knife fight.
