It shows up when going through slow corners, and trying to rip back on the throttle. When on power in the sharp turns it chatters enough to throw off the car and put me into the wall. I guess I'll try T plates next.
Any Ideas?

Make sure the damper is moving free. I have found that most of my cars run best on the mini96 with no lube on the damper disks.

So far down to about 6:24 with a 4.589/fast lap. Need more consistency.

Mini96 is super challanging especially with AWD cars. I usually have the best luck turning the throttle end point way down till I really get the layout down then slowly turn the endpoint up.

Right now I have the esc dialed back to about 87% I think. Feels like a 1/10 stock sedan or so. Really enjoying it.

For my daughter's car I went with a 2500kv motor and kept the same gearing and I'm about .5 sec a lap slower +/-.

The damper is free, polished with 5K, and both disks and dual spring shock are dry. Will be trying a softer T plate first and then harder and will report back. The Super Soft rears helped and kept the rear end from whipping around the corners, but I will try some mediums if the T plates don't help with the chattering. Having fun with the SWB RM! Just hard to make time while keeping it planted. Probably my ham fistedness!

I could never get the RM to as predictable as other cars.

On the 90mm I tried to get the SuperSofts to work and while they are fast, the chattering was bad and would upset the car in the turns and the rear would come around, usually sending me into the wall. So I went to some PN KS Mediums(I'm pretty sure of the hardness), and they are fast and the chattering is just about gone! It is really hooking up, and mid 4 second laps are becoming pretty constant.
Went to my McLaren12C PN 2.5, and I still need to work on it's balance. It's not turning when I need it to. On and Off Power turning needs improvement.
I'm having a Love/Hate relationship with Bachmans Comm Drops. I really like how they free up the PN 70T, but half way through a run they wear off and the drag break affect totally changes the way the car drives. I'm only using 1 drop, as everything I've read says NOT to use more. Anyway I'll keep working with it as see.
Also got my 911 GT3 in! Cool body but has A LOT of slop in the side clips, and after warping a previous 12C in the oven I WON'T try that again. Going to start building an EVO for the Porsche class, SOON!
Take Care! Drew

I switched my 90mm chassis from the MX-5 to the 911, and man I really like the way it handles! I went to a W0 20mm wheel with PN KS soft radials and I can get around this layout with it better than any other setup I have. My laptop battery was dead so I didn't get any timed laps, but man does it get around this tight layout well!

Been testing the 911, and I found it handles best with no wing. The wing looks good, but caused it to traction roll too easy. Adding the windows made it a little bit more prone to traction rolling, but adding the wing had me slowing way down to keep it rubber side down. Also been working on the 12C's paint, so the Jomurema is on the PN 2.5, and it's running great. I had a awesome for me run going, but ZRound didn't record any laps even though it was calling out the lap times after running my first set of laps with the 911!:rolleyes: It was mostly 4.1-4.3 second laps with a fast lap of 3.99, so after restarting it I got the times listed here. I'm going to keep running with both cars, and hopefully improve my times, but Family stuff is crazy now, so I thought I'd post these incase I get busy.

I wasn't near as constant with this set of laps, as I had been driving for over 30 minutes and was a bit punchy. I know I have better times in me! Yall Take Care and Drive Fast! Drew

Wow! I missed the last several posts somehow. Nice Porsche BBDrew! That's the first GT3 RSR they released. Mine is the GT3 RS MZN180, which is a little wider in the front, but not sure about the rear. I have to run negative 1 W wheels in the back to avoid rubbing. This list of Whiebodies may be of interest to some of you all. Will be posting my September results now because I'm not going to have time to run for the rest of the month. White Body ? MINI-Z Info

Race Time-266.4
Fastest Lap-3.36
Chassis-PNR2.5W with EVO Board
Body-2010 R8

Motor Mount-PN 93-102 Multi Motor Mount
Dampener (If applicable)-PN DDS

Gearing-64p Ball Diff 9/53
Notes-This was a recent rebuild of an old car for a 50T class at one of the local tracks. Swapped out old ASF FETed board for an EVO board, but everything pretty much the same. Since I was track testing it, I got a couple of runs in for the M96WC, but couldn't come close to beating my best Stock time. It should be better on a larger track.
