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!
Take Care and Drive Fast! Drew
