We race mostly on carpet and the main car racing at my local UK carpet tracks is M05 outside the M03 seems to be the fastest.
Still early days for M06 and once drivers learn to setup M06 better then maybe it could be better.
Still think a M05 racing a M06 on the infield the M05 would come off better if knocked from behind
( a good mate of mine calls them Love taps ).
This is just my view and a lot of RC drivers will shoot me down for saying this.
I think racing Tamiya M05,M03,M06, I know a lot slower than our RC Touring cars but more like full size British Touring Car,
Only front wheel or rear wheel drive, you can race bumper to bumper, side by side lap after lap.
And great fun.

+1 about the same experience I found. I still love my 05, but i do find it easier to drive than the 06, as im an agressive driver. But lately, ive raced the 06, all because its harder to drive, i find it more rewarding when you get it right. Rear tires I found were critical on the 06
