I've just visited eagle-racing website but no pics.
I think it's an old product, listed under M03 parts

For better bumpers on the M03 chassis would the M04 bumper fit, using part # 50850 (E2, E3) for the bracket and part # 6275061 for the urethane bumper?
I know that the bumper for the TL01B does fit. Use part # 0005688 (C11, C20). It’s a “kick up” type buggy bumper/skid, but fits fine.
I also found M03 speed tune gears at Integy.

while looking for the bumper, which is not at integy.
If anybody tries the M04 bumper let us know if it works.

Which are better for them, the Medium or Medium-soft inserts?

We actually have a large shipment of RP mini tires and inserts coming in along with bodies, spare parts, hop-ups, and we are putting together titanium screw kits and ceramic bearing kits for the mini. Also, we're trying to get a couple more different kinds of bodies from Japan for the Mini into the states.

How much traction compound are you using on the tire? Just start using a thinner band toward the inside of the tire until you get the sweet spot between acceleration grip and minimal rollovers..
I put a layer of CA glue on the outer sidewall of sedan tires to reduce rolling for my TC, why not mini tires?

at my local track (Glen Burnie Hobbytown, MD.) Many people run the 30's. A few run the xpatterns, some run tamiya slicks. Me personally, i like the S grips with about half the tread worn down.

RB as corrected before by Adrian and Troy. I am running the 36 fornt which should help lessen bite a bit. I have the medium insert in the car and it could prolly use a bit stiffer insert like the Hpi. you can use CA on about a 1/16" stripe on the very outer edge to also reduce side bite a bit. You don;t need much and it will do the trick. Our bite is very similar to SoCal but our track is a bit more abrasive.
