I've spent an hour mounting the 3racing high speed gears in my M05. I noticed that the gears are now very tight, and it makes alot more noice now, Should I be concerned?
Do I need to put in extra cooling and if so how do I go about doing it?
Or will it wear in and get better??

Last outing with my min i I noticed that is has started to bounce in the corners, high speed corners. The front wheels are now slicks (started there lives as kit included tires but are now worn down to slicks...).
Well my question: can this be fixed?

What spring set up are U running in the front and back. On asphalt I usually run a softer set of springs in the front and a little stiffer springs in the back.
The rear end is looser than the front end. The rear is higher off the ground than the front end.
The dampers are as they came in the package from 3Racing... I will test stiffening the rear some and see what happens.
thanks!

I took the gearbox apart and looked to see where the screws for the motor needed be then remembered it , when i used the gears i spray Teflon spray in there to make the mesh qiet and used a good amount of anti wear grease

Just wanted to let the Mini racers in So Cal know that we're having some good turn outs of Minis at West Coast Raceway. The usual suspects are racing there plus a few new recruits from the TC ranks.

what pinion are you running and in what holes is the motor mounted?
mine are soo smooth , smoother then the Tamiya ones
I also heard that you can boil them gears to make them softer but i dont like that idea
I have an stronger motor than the silver can supplied in the kit... maybe that is what I can feel?
I get beck with a newe report after next ouoting.....
Now if it could only stop raining!
Thanks!

It is the 3racing damper kit(3racing-m03m13lbv2, from RCMART) supplied ones, they are black, all around.
The rear end is looser than the front end. The rear is higher off the ground than the front end.
The dampers are as they came in the package from 3Racing... I will test stiffening the rear some and see what happens.
