M03 Swift
I think I got my M03 setup nicely now. It has stopped traction rolling and I feel more confident thru the corners now.
Things that I have done to make it handle better and faster:
1) universal joints - the car is much smoother and faster thru the corners
2) ball diff - felt more traction and acceleration exiting corner
3) heat sink - thanks my Adrian bro who CNC-ed a anodized blue heat sink! Well, I dont think it helps much in heat dissipation. But, hell yeah it does looks cooler!
4) TRF shocks - good shock travel length thanks to Ben
5) Weights - tonnes of it! Car stopped traction rolling mainly due to added weights.
However, Swift still rolls a lot thru corners due to a lot of droop. Next hop up will be short springs which I tried and it works to great effect of reducing droop and roll.

Hacker Motor update
Geared that bugger at 5.3 FDR with temp max at 140F after 8mins run. Still not up to speed as my buddy on Speedpassion. All this was done with 0 timing on the Tekin RS Pro. I just had the Hotwire hooked up and set the timing at 100%. Will see how it goes this weekend...
Lexma 2.4G Nano Laser Mouse Review
My reliable and faithful Logitech optical mouse has decided to be unreliable and unfaithful one day giving me non-stop glitches which irritates the crap hell of me. So I have thrown it aside since then until I finally decided to forked out some dough from my RC trust fund to purchase Lexma 2.4G Nano Laser mouse. Due to the RC trust fund is a negative ROI fund, I decided not to buy Logitech since it is more expensive for the same spec I get with the Lexma.
Quick run down on the Lexma mouse. It is 2.4G wireless, laser, DPI settings from 1000 to 2000dpi and nanoguard technology which supposedly anti bacteria up to 99.9% efficiency. Maybe it is good for people who dont wash their hands after using the toilet. All marketing cock and bull to me.
The overall ergo or feel of the mouse is not too bad for its price. Connectivity and binding between the USB receiver to the mouse is straightforward. The receiver 'stores' itself by sliding onto the mouse externally. The mouse uses 2 AA batteries so it does not have any more room to fit the receiver inside as opposed to
some Logitech models.
The mouse wheel is 4-way. The wheel scroll can be wacky at times where it is not that sensitive. I do not use much of the left and right scroll but it would be nice to have them programable to be Back and Forward buttons when surfing the web.
The mouse glitches sometimes which puzzled me since it is using 2.4G band. Perhaps it is not using Futaba FASST or Spektrum DSM! Lol! I hate it when the bloody thing glitces!
I have yet to verify the battery consumption of the mouse as I have been using it for less than a month. The mouse goes into standby mode after a few minutes to save battery.
Overall, if you can live with the occasional insensitivity or glitch then this may be ok for you. If you have the extra dough get a better mouse such a Logitech. Well, I guess it sums up you pay what you get.
