Hi y'all, I am going to be back next week to try again with the racing!
Last time I came I had a touring car and lots of steering problems! (mostly me, but a little bit the car too!) Well, I haven't given up at all, just been a bit too busy to come again. I am now going to try my hand at the minis and stick with that for a little while and see how I get on, I am sure anything will be an improvement over last time! Just a little question though, what tyres do the mini guys use? I am going to keep it as slow as possible, but I would like a bit of confidence with grip. Thanks in advance for any advice given

You can't go wrong with sweep premounts. 33deg all round with carpet additive on the rear. This should give you a nice predictable handling mini.

Hi, Thanks for the advice.
Planning on starting off with the M03M but will see how things go. I have built to up and it seems to steer nicely, which is very important to a bad driver such as myself! The other thing is I am struggling with the steer wheel transmitter. But I shall keep trying!

Its really important that you lower the ride height on the m03. Aim for 4mm ground clearance. This can be done a number of ways but the easiest is by shortening the shocks or using shorter shocks to begin with.
