My M-05 Setup

Having ran my Tamiya M-05 for a couple of months now, I feel I'm beginning to learn how to drive the car. What I haven't done yet is to fully understand how setup changes have an affect on the car's handling. I'm getting there but slowly. Thankfully Dave Allen and Brad Portelli from RC-Mini have been extremely helpful in posting their setups (and their approach to setting up) and my car seems to be performing well at the moment - due to the fact I'm using Dave's and Brad's setups! Anyway, if it's any help to you (and so that I have record of my setup in case I forget) I'm going to publish my setup for your information.

Tamiya #54236 Front Aluminium Damper Stay

Having read a couple of guides by the 'successful' Tamiya M-05 drivers from the USA and Australia, I thought I'd try out the Tamiya Aluminium Front Damper Stay (#54236). This allows the front shocks to be fitted to the car in a much more upright configuration, which in turn allows a much stiffer front suspension.
