That works for us and we run on grippy carpet, M's all round are going to give you issues you don't need yet. You're right the M03 is easier out of the box. M05s sometimes need a break in period to get to their best and sometimes they are never right my current 05 being a case in point.
Hi Spoolio,

Thanks for the reply.

Ive been experimenting with my mine since my original posts and now have a fairly well sorted car.

So you find the kit tyres better on the front?

I'm now running blue springs front with 450cst, yellow rear with 350cst, rear roll bar, M grips all around, almost no front toe, I have the new -1 degree front upper arms, wide shock mounts front and rear with the shocks in the outer most holes, and I've shed loads of weight from the car, it's around 1285gms inc the heavy NiMH cells (we can't use Lipo's) I've just installed a Futaba s9551 servo which is fast, I've dialled in some minus exponential to help against the twitchyness on the sweepers too.

I'm still chasing those pesky M03's.........
