Shimmed correctly=AW grease packed in the diff to slow diff action and does not drip out like most silicone based fluids. Along with adding an extra shim to the diff to put more pressure on the diff gears also slowing breakaway. The gear diff comes with 2 shims(1 for each side) pick up another to add depending on the diff you might need to add other shims to tighten or loosen also base it on your track conditions. Set too tight the car will hop through the sweeper or feel pointy as it really becomes a spool.
Hope that helps.
A few posts ago someone also asked about the 03, 03L, 03M comparos. It looks like the M is the best of all worlds turns in harder, more stable on the sweepers. of course your mileage may vary......

I put a .1x3mm shim under or over (your choice) the front uprights when you bolt them into the C-hub, takes some of the slop away without binding..
Not that I have the swift kit, but I bought the suspension parts for my M-04

What the minimum amount of torque needed for the steering servo of the M03 when powered by the stock silver can motors? Since we race spec, non-rebuildable motors, weight becomes of paramount importance. I know the Futaba 9602 will work fine but will the 9601 with less torque and nylon gears be okay? How about the 9650? I have both of these servos and they are lighter than the 9602 because of their nylon gears. Thanks.

Dont mean to interupt, but for all the mini cooper enthusiast's out there I am selling a 94 monte carlo edition mini, the kit from 1995 that came with only 2 shocks (laydown) and it includes the box/manual/ old school futaba esc-receiver-servo, ect. Most of the orig. decals included (the important ones), orig silver can motor (never used)... pm if interested, otherwise thanx for letting me jump in for a moment . Pm me if you would like to more.

My M-03 Outlaw class
Hi all,
Just want to share some pics of my M-03 Outlaw class...
This time is the body shots ...
It fits the M03 chassis (not M or L version) and can use std 1/10 size touring tires (foam or rubber). I use Kawaharas on these pics.
It's Skyline GT R-34 model
Enjoy...
