Less than a week till the end of the month! Hope yall are getting this layout down ok! I was able to turn a 2.7xx with my GLR, but I'm having rx issues with it, so it's times probably wont reflect how good it is! I'm going to TRY to get all 7 classes run I have chassis for, but my shoulders and hands aren't cooperating right now, so I'm going to try my best!

Hope everyone is well! Drive Fast! Drew

AM03GT I really appreciate your non-flanged wheel setups.

I started running them to keep setups between large and small layouts the same, but wish everyone would go away from them.

Thanks i try to keep it simple ive been running long before flange/disks were a thing so i just keep to what i know... I have discs for my atomic wheels just in case on super high traction at races but ive yet to use them...

Trying to give this a whirl, but it sure is a challenge (hell, it's in the name!! lol). I'm never very consistent to begin with but on this narrow track I can't stay off the walls. I started with a Mini96 but expanded it so that I can run three tiles wide and adjusting down is taking a minute. I can hit a fast lap here or there but just can't go very long without some clunkers destroying my rhythm. Not ready to post a time yet but trying to get some laps in, maybe in the next two nights.

Turn down your steering dual rate and run in the middle. Make it a goal not to over drive/steer any corner, just enough to get setup for the next.

That helped!. Two 4:59 runs and feel quicker with the Box Stock MR04. Running the Jomurema body and it helps with the wall contact too. Started around 5:30 so it’s coming down a bit.

Today I got one of my MR03s switched to the new Porsche 911GT3RS body and that takes a steady hand to keep from sending it into a barrel roll. Going to have to figure that setup out. At least it is pretty good at landing on its wheels!

SMOKIN' RUN AM03GT!!! Looks like Traveler2 and Poor Boy have some serious competition!!!

ekim That's an AWESOME time too! Your quickly getting up to speed!

joelisenat, WELCOME!!! It is for sure a Challenge!!! Both fun and frustrating at the same time!
As others have said, turn down the steering and throttle d/r and add -expo if your radio has it, and focus on being consistent is the key. Speed will come! We're looking for the best overall time not the fastest lap. Often a car that is easy to control/drive will have a better overall time that a edgy car that will turn a fast lap. You may run 1 fast lap, but spend the next 3 in the wall trying to get your rhythm back! After 3 years I usually run 10-20laps very well, then my concentration lapses and I spend the next few gathering everything back up! Clean 75 lap runs are SUPER DIFFICULT to do! I really have to fight to keep from pushing the time limit during a run, as I start to get more wall hits as I push harder. So back everything down and work on staying in the middle of the track.

Yall keep up the great work and remember to have fun, BREATHE, and BLINK!!!
