Thanks for running this challenge. It's given me some good practice between my local races. I'm trying to at least run 2 classes for May and possible 3rd if I can get my short wheelbase settled. You guy must have so e stable hands. Good racing all!

My usual Stock class car is a 94mm Ferrari F-430GT with 0N/0W wheels and PN 70 turn motor. That wheelbase is usually quicker for me on the Mini-96 than the 98mm 3500 car. I usually run both each month and post results for the faster one in Stock. You can scroll through this thread to see the setup on each.

This month layout also does not fit my space... but this time I make it fit by cutting two tile to fit the post in ;) (lol ... looking at the picture right now I just saw that I cut 2 tiles for nothing... it will have fit if I rotate the track 180 degree.)

If someone already run this layout... what is good lap for Box Stock on this layout? Just to have a clue how far behind we are :lol: ... and also have a goal... ( actually run a few 5.0 best lap... but most of the time I hit a wall somewhere when trying to do this kind of lap :rolleyes: )
But honestly the 2 tiles wide fast portion is really hard for me to be consistent in this portion

Only ran box stock a few times but this is what I have so far.

This is my first 75 lap run on this layout. I had 11 5+ second laps, so there's lots of room for improvement. I expect a Box Stock fast lap to be sub 4 seconds and a good time to be closer to the 5:00 mark by the end of the month.

Thank's Poor_Boy for your answer... really appreciated.

:eek: Wow a fast lap of 4.25 and it's an average of 4.56 each lapt to achieve this total time... You need to be consistant as hell to do that... I'm really impressed... and also almost discourage at the same time :cry:

At least I know that I need to practice a lot before I could be competitive to run with you guy's... if ever I can... :lol:

Traveler2 ... Thank's for the input...
I was way more of than I anticipated I will be... will need to work a lot on driving first than on setup.
Or you guy's are just to fast :sweat:

CrazyRonny Poor_Boy and I are always fighting for 1st place, so we may not be the best to benchmark against when you're new. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Just keep practicing and working on your setups and it will come. We run thousands of laps every month with many cars.

CrazyRonny , it's hard to compare to Poor_Boy & Traveler2 , they are SUPER fast & consistent. Here's my slow-ass best times so far, I'm hoping for a LOT of self-improvement over the next couple of weeks, but I'll still not get close to those two speedsters.

Thank you for the input, I currently just have the stock kyosho motor in the 94 but i may be able to work out a pn 70 turn motor. I will check the rules and see if I can run a 3rd class along with the F1.

The stock Kyosho motor is legal in Stock class, although not quite as strong as the PN70T it might be easer to run the same motor in Box Stock and Stock since they will have the same powerband a more similar drive feel than Kyosho stock and PN70T, which are very different.

To give you an idea of how quickly I can usually learn a layout, below is my second Box Stock run. Same batteries as the 1st run, but 11 seconds faster and a quicker fast lap with only 7 5+ second laps. The more you practice every month, the quicker you can get a layout down. In the second half of the month, I'm usually looking to improve my best time by only a second or two. Keep at it!

Third Box Stock run. Fresh batteries, but no other changes. 9 seconds faster than second run, but should have been more if I hadn't clipped an inside corner on lap 72 and rolled the car up on its side. Luckily it rolled back onto its wheels and I kept going, but it was a 5.93 second lap, 1.5 seconds more than the average lap time of 4.43 seconds. Also only 4 5+ second laps.

That's a very helpful point and makes it easier for me to run an additional class. I'll look at the other details for that class
