Thanks for the info Calvin and enjoy building your new machine

Do they still give you the same parts as per the M05 pro so you have the option of S M L wheel base? I usually run L. As you said they give you the pro manual I would assume so.......

Agree with the shocks but for someone starting out they can at least hold off on the M chassis shocks and get through a couple of races....couldn't get round the first corner with the clear ones

So basically the same as the pro but with better option parts to get you going right out the box?

Would be interesting to hear your report after trying out the additional rear toe. I suppose this will help when running the BL systems you use is Aus. Unfortunately we are still on the Tamiya sport tuned so would think it would take away some topend! When we do go BL it will more than likely be the Tamiya 18T hence on par with the sport tuned.

As I have never used a plated frame before can you tell me if it is heavier than the standard plastic frame? Besides the look are there any other advantages?

They must have had many complaints about the ali front shock mount bending, hence the new carbon variant....mine however is still fine after many a bad bang
