V3 of my fan mount may include an ice cube with a mister that sprays chilled air at the motor. Just pop new ice cube in before each race.

..here is a side profile of my car. Sits really low.
Using the block method that Antlockyer mentioned, my car is about 5-5.5mm in front and 4.5mm in rear.

Thanks for that. My current setup is slightly higher at the rear, but I'm hoping that will be offset by much softer spring rate and a grippier tyre. Racing on Friday night for the first time at my local club so will report back.

I've added a pic side on in my album

Kind of like a Cry02 intercooler for real cars. Good to hear your mount is solid.

On my TBLE02 ESC where it has no factory option for a fan, I use 2 thin plastic pieces about 10mm in width (less than a mm thick) mounted on the sides of the ESC to place a fan over the ESC heat sink. I use a very soft VHB mounting tape to allow vibration to be damped within the mounts. It helps dampen the cheepo fan's imbalance too as one time without this setup, the fan was buzzing the entire chassis..

Huh, you have reverse rake on your V2. Interesting. My FWD's have considerable rake (front lower than rear).

Would love to see a photo of this so I can visualize.

Yeah, I found this way works really well for me.

Here's an example on my M-Rage. This is the 105BK, but you get the idea.

Oh yeah, I wasn't implying the setup was bad, I am sure different driving conditions, etc will dictate how the car should be set up.

Yeah, your car does sit a bit higher than mine. If you are having your first race w/ your mini, ...make adjustments per how it does. My first season, actually 2 seasons were all about getting my car right. I built my car w/ about 7mm of clearance, -level, also body was mounted kind of high. So many other things were off, but basically my car looked like an old stage coach going around the course. It just handled like crap. Between practicing and racing I made small tweaks and took notes. 3 or 4 years later I've come to the setup I have now.

I didn't take it that way.

Yeah, that is what makes the M05xx so fun, there are literally probably dozens if not hundreds of setups that work. Most guys run S-grips all the way around, I could never get that to work for me ...I run slicks + s-grips ...found it works great (for me).

This should work now

Ah, got it. Hey, how do you like that vented motor heat sink? I had one on my F1 it kept falling off ...I tried bending it slightly to make it tighter, etc... no luck. I couldn't get it to sit securely on my motor. Its like it needs high temp tape to keep it glued in place. -hey there is an idea, maybe I'll give it another go? My F1 currently has no fan and no heatsink ...but runs a 21.5 and timing is turned way down ...it doesn't need speed so temps are always low. ...

eR1c - Yep, completely agree that there are many different set ups for these cars.

Hey Antlockyer - how do you like those Sweeps? I bought the med and soft but neither was a good match for my track surface. I love the shape of those wheels though.

I currently only run Pit Shimizu, the classic 55mm. I like how they are actually radial tires inside the rubber.

Antolckyer -is that the same photo that was in your album? Or did you make an adjustment to your car and post a new photo?

Is your club running the stock silvercan only?
Also, eventually you may want to get shocks w/ adjustable collars ...you'll be able to really fine tune your ride height. Also, is that a lipo or NiMH your using? I used a rounded lipo w/ my silvercan a few years ago when we all had to run silvercans and the M05VII wasn't out. LIpo's are much much lighter than a NiMH, -that will really help you to shave a lot of weight. My car is at 1318 right now, 18 over the min weight. I am trying to shave an extra 10grams and keep it at 1305-1308 to keep the tech people happy and account for a gram or two in scale differences (between the scale I use and the tech people may use).
