the chassis is a quite a bit narrower than previous, but there shouldn't be any trouble with current speedos. i think you are overthinking it. electronics placement in a mini is never really 'ideal', but we always find a way. this car should be easier, imo.

More room the 07 may have, but this sucker wont fit, fan is too tall.
No biggie, it's not needed on a Mini anyway.

when oiling a silver can motor do you pick off the dust covers over the bushes or just drop oil on the ends and hope it migrates down?

One drop on the bushing on either end. Couldn't hurt to stand it on end and let gravity help. Anyway, dust covers?

Hey guys, i bought a brand new mini 17g servo for ki 1/18scale rc car, when i isntalled it normally the servo is buzzing and getting hot (sevo horn not attached) and is slow to the left turn right is ok.

My tx is sanwa mt-s and already set to analog servo

When i swap it (esc to channel 1 and servo to channel 2)
The servo worl perfecly fine..

What causing the buzz and slow turn to one side?

How is the fit on M07 for the different bodyshells?
Anyone know?
Like, do a Mazda MX-5 fit nice and low?

i've seen some youtube vids, and those guys used the mx5 shell

Heres the first attempt at my wiring.
It didn't go so bad and there is a convenient hole to locate the fan if required.

Latest StockSpec fits fine even with a bit of space between the fan and ESC. I'm assuming the recent posts are about an ESC that's bigger? Not the StockSpec? (I'm not familiar with all the HobbyWing variants)

Its our default system.

The stock spec has a very slightly smaller footprint than the ezrun or Justock - about 5mm. Not too much difference, but a nice bonus. My main problem is the upper reinforcing thing interferes with the wiring as I've got it running side to side. I'll just turn mine the way you've got yours.

The brushed Tekin ESC I mentioned has a footprint of 20x25mm, btw. The HW Stock Spec is about 30x25mm and the old Justock is about 30x30mm.

This morning at Tamiya, with the new M07, my second lap EVER, was a 16.7. Conditions were ideal for minis, and I was using Pit tires, but this is with a 74 year-old duffer at the helm! Unfortunately, every change I made thru the day from the book settings made things worse, and the temperature was going up quickly, which always raises lap times into the 17's. Except for clipping a mm off each steering cup which allowed some toe-out to keep it going straight down the straightaway, nothing else helped. So, just build it stock, and now everyone is going to have a competitive mini to race...

I know with the m07 out now m05 is so obsolete but has anyone got it to work on black CRC carpet.i run at 360 but we don't run them cause we can't get them to stop flipping no matter the corner and there is some fast guys running them and can't get it to stay rubber down. I tried kit tires but no luck so I'm guessing s type comound would be worse

Glue the sidewall and the first little bit of tread on the front tires. Run the car low back and front. Try yellow springs all around. Should help a bunch.

I just got my M-07 in, when I was reading the manual on the option shocks I got a little confused.
There are 5 part numbers listed for shocks, 42102, 42287 as kit regular size damper and 5400, 4291, 42273 as short type damper.
In the notes it states long rod should be used with short shocks.

If someone could take a few minuets and break down the differences between the 2 sets of part numbers and which shocks I should order.
If my M-chassis big bore shocks will not works, what is the recommended shock.

Thanks
