That's right. The key to going fast is friction shocks and an FM radio.

I recommend channel 69.

It's only glitching because you're not using channel 69. If everyone just used channel 69 like they were told, we wouldn't have this issue.

Actually I heard that dental floss works great for that, even white bread!

Thought I'd give airbrushing a try.

Looks great. I'll never get the knack of doing complex paintwork

Thanks, I was inspired by the threads on here. Never used an airbrush before and this is only the 4th body I've painted in 30 years

Stuck some stickers on too



I've also gone Lipo which got the weight down to 1207g. 1200g is the class limit

Way too quiet around here. How about a picture of the legendary stealth mini?

Or...how about some pics of battle scars of the Blade Racing Wagon R shell on my M03 after my first Mini race since 2013 last weekend.
Heavily gooped track and TALLLLLL shell makes for much tipping over.

Just bored enough that building a drift M04 seems like a good idea. Figured out how to get more steering. Anyone know anything about drift suspension?

I thought i'd try the MX5 on my M05v2. Any suggestions on reducing the gap between the front bumper and body?
