I haven't set it up yet. I just saw it and thought, "that will suck for me."

ok, so im glad it wasnt just me that has my smaller wheelbase traction roll often.I run it in another group since its not a miata nor porsche and dont see any other group it would fit. After looking at the rules, would anyone be able to confirm if a GLF1 would qualify for the 2wd open class? Ive tried to search the forum but had not seen an f1 entry yet

Yes, the GL-F is fine in Open 2WD. What short wheelbase car do you have? What body, wheelbase, front track and wheel offsets?

It would be cool to see a GLF1 run the Mini96! IIRC someone ran one in the beginning of the Challenge, but had a hard time with the tight switchbacks on the small tile track. I think they are super cool, but with no access to a large tile track I haven't pulled the trigger on one yet. Run it, and let us know, as I would love to have one!

First Off Welcome to the Challenge! As to your question I find, with my short 2 year experience with Mini-z's, when I found a setup I liked I can be almost as fast and just as consistent with my 90mm RM cars as I can with my 98/102mm cars, though the short wheel base cars require SMOOTH inputs on the controls. That's where running - Expo with CPU radios is a huge help! For me it's a trade off between shooting through the tight corners with the 90mm's vs. the high speed cornering stability of the 98/102mm. I'm working on painting my 2 94mm bodies, as they tend to be a good mix of the 2. Also different bodies handle/drive quiet differently at the same wheel base length, so I try to have a few bodies at each wheel base to try when the layout changes. Though availability and cost prohibit that for me especially at 86mm!

PoorBoy, that blue paint is GREAT!

I tried a few runs yesterday, but my hand was numb most of the time so my times were in the mid 7 minute mark. So I didn't post any times, but I'm getting a injection in my shoulder this week and hopefully it will help so I can get some good runs after the layout changes!
Take Care and Drive Fast! Drew
