Well the cramping is a bit better, so after driving all day to go with my son to by a new truck, I ran a set of Box Stock laps and started a Stock set and snapped the pin off the Rt Front Steering Knuckle (factory plastic), and my fingers started locking up, so I called it quits for the night. My laps were after midnight, so if they don't count, it's cool with me, as I didn't think I would be able to drive at all for this month anyway.

Notes- To start off I thought my board/motor was going bad because the car had no speed, so after 50 laps or so of trying to figure it out, I found the front clip mount screws had backed out and were dragging the track! SO quick check of all the screws and it was running well again. I also had PN KSK40* LH on the fronts, and even with the steering d/r at 70% it still had too much steering, so I went to some KS Med LH tires and bumped the steering d/r to 90% and it's sooo much better. The car is good but slow compared to my brushless cars. I'm still trying to decide weather to keep this as a BoxStock chassis, or bump it to Stock with a V3 PN 94/98mm Motor Pod and PN 70T. The switch between brushed and BL is a lot for MY mind to deal with.

This is my non-finished due to breakage of knuckle and hand malfunction. It is a 12C on a PN 2.5W chassis w/ Multi Mount pod and 3500kv. It was much too fast after driving the BoxStock, and I was in the wall way too much, thus the snapped knuckle!:p It also has Kyo +1.5mm wheels, so I think I'll go back to PN +1mm to protect the tire from grabbing the wall when rubbed! MOst of the turns into the first 90* off the straight I was on 2 wheels. An ok run, but sloppy

Track layout for September
 

Hey guys, where’s the track layout for September posted?

For September 2024 we will be going back to this layout that we last used June 2022 running clockwise. This one is a little more technical then last month but really fun when you get the hang of it.

https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rct...796bbe3340.jpg

Was struggling with the new layout until I turned my throttle endpoint to 90%. Got within 6 seconds of the winning June 2022 box stock time on first run with the end point adjusted down.

I just switched to the new layout, and I remember running it when I first started, and it was a HUGE challenge 2 years ago and it still isn't easy! I turned my Stock chassis D/R from 78% steering/90% throttle on last nights run on the old layout to 90% steering/74% throttle. I feel like I'm very "squirty" in the throttle and have a hard time being smooth! Anyway here's my times for a 25 lap test stent to get a benchmark for the beginning of the month. When I was able to run a smooth lap 4.1 was good! It's the last Dog Leg going into the straight that bones me still 2 years later!:(

This was after about 50 laps to learn the new layout.

the 12C is on Marka LH fronts (pretty new and still have the mould line mid tire) and PN KSM Soft Radials half worn on the rear.

I can’t wait for Saturday to try this :D

Hey Drew! Hope you're feeling better. I built the new layout yesterday, and had difficulty getting used to it too. Much slower corners than last month, and it was a challenge forcing myself to stay off the throttle more. Turning throttle down and steering up is definitely advisable. I also noticed that my steering input is never dead center. I'm almost always steering right or left, making the entire layout tight or wide turns. Try that approach ;) EDIT and weaker batteries can help because you can't do much with the extra punch of good AAAs on this layout. But definitely a lot more work and much more intense to drive.

We had very little participation in June and July 2022 when we last ran this layout, but I managed to beat my June time after a couple of runs. Not sure if my driving is that much better, or its my front tires providing more steering. Suspect its the latter, as I was on Kyosho fronts two years ago which don't have nearly the steering that the PNs I currently run do. Drive fast!
