Race Time- 308.437 / 5:08.437
Fastest Lap- 3.709
Chassis- GL GLR
Body- White Lexan roof JOMU
Wheelbase- 98mm
Tires-F- KS1042 (regular height KS firm 42* sidewall glued) / R- Marka V1R10
Wheels- F- N+1mm 19mm PN Dish White / R- W+2mm 20mm PN Yellow BBS
Motor- NHX 2500Kv
Batteries- GNB 350mAh 2S LiPO
Front Springs-Blue
T-Plate-N/A
Motor Mount-GL 98mm
Dampener (If applicable)- Short Center Shock (Blue Spring) / Yellow side springs
Dampener Fluid (If applicable)- 25K Atomic grease- Center / 15K Atomic grease- Sides
Gearing-10/53 GL Ball Diff
Notes- LOVING the GLR!!! I was able to drive it better with the higher humidity compared to my Mini Z's. Still figuring out it's quirks, and setting the ESC to my liking, but I'm almost there. I'm trying paint layouts, so I can start laying some color at the beginning of the month. Also trying my hand at cutting with a swivel head razor knife, and cutting out numbers. The numbers are coming out ok, but still working on transferring them from the cut matt to the car. The red 94 is a try at them, all free hand on Tamiya 40mm masking tape drawn with red normal tip Sharpie, ok for my old eyes and shaky hands!
My time was pretty good, but if my hand wasn't going to sleep I think I could have broken the 5 minute mark!



I will try for a better time after running my last 3 classes.

It rolled close to me, so getting to it was quick! on all 3 SWB cars I ran today a 4.1 second lap was comfortable. Last week 3.8s were that way.

Dampener (If applicable)- PN DDS (NO top DISK/Green bottom spring), Nexx Racing dual spring top shock (yellow main spring)
Dampener Fluid (If applicable)-Dry
Gearing- 12/53 PN Ball Diff
Notes- Still a work in progress. Has TR problems when set up with the exact wheel/tire/body combo as when on my 90mm Nexx RM pod, when the RM Pod is glued to the track! Going to the WORN rear KSK 40*s solved most of the T/R problem, but I clipped the inside corner a few times and flipped on it's lid! Either coming off the straight or going onto it were my problem corners. Hopefully I'll have it straight next month!

Notes- Car was on edge but running AWESOME! Again I clipped a corner twice and flipped! The main issue I had is the car getting caught up on the wall from the front tires sticking when I would brush the wall coming out of a corner! They are +1 20mm Narrow PN BBS wheels, so I have some +.5mm in my shopping cart. I must have gotten stopped 20 times! It killed my times, so i will try some 0mm later to see how it helps,

It's good with me if you post your final times for the month in the same post, but you will get your post count up and be able to post pics quicker if you post individually.
Also I'm going to try to start posting my starting times for each class at the beginning of the month, and as I get faster I'll update the same post, like the guys did in the start of the challenge. It was good to see them progress, and what changes they made during the month to get faster. My back is going to be my biggest obstacle doing it, but I'm going to try! My mid back is causing a lot of pain and numbness in my shoulders, arms and hands. Hopefully it gets better soon!!!
chjosi, that is a SMOKIN FAST Box Stock time!!! Awesome driving!!
