Notes- Car is WICKID QUICK!!! I had 2 Traction Rolls, but it landed on it wheels both times, but I LOVE the disk wheels!!! NO more Super glue on the sidewalls, and TR is all but eliminated! This car is probably most fun to rip around the track! it's soo narrow it feels like you are on a much bigger track! And when you do hit a wall it reminds me of a Bomber crankbait hitting a log, give it a little slack and it pops right back off the log like it's in reverse! The Yaris acts the same way! I'm going to paint it like my all time favorite Crank Bait color "Fire Tiger"! Maybe the paint scheme will bring me luck racing the way it did when I first found the color pattern as a kid fishing!

Notes- Same notes on ProStock as Stock, I sucked tonight! I was actually 3 seconds faster with my ProStock as a 98mm and the Pink Jomu, but I don't have the setup notes from that run, so I'll just stick with this time. Besides I LOVE the Endurance Cars! I have .5mm shim behind the front wheels to take up slack and add track width.

Notes- Put back in the Flysky GMR rx that was glitching (briefly loosing Tx signal, usually on the long sweeping turns) , as the MXO rx was bad out of the pkg, but it's being replaced. I then went to the 20mm 3D Disk wheels from 19mm wheels and a 3D front bumper and clip from a carbon fiber one and after that I drove over 3 hours with NO GLITCH!!! Only thing I can think of was a static issue causing problems??? Anyway it works, and I'M HAPPY!!! Going to soft rears made the rear end much more planted in the turns and on power! I will try soft fronts, when I receive them, to see if it will calm down the front end a bit! My steering D/R is in the 50% range with 30%+ -Expo! FREAKIN fun car to drive!

Update after run: DAMN thing glitched again twice tonight!!! First time it lost signal completely, needing me to shut it off and back on, killed that run. Next run it briefly glitched and went back to working, both times was in turn 5. The 3rd run went pretty smooth, besides not having any confidence in the car, and made me nervous and not near as smooth as I usually am with the GLR! Looks like i'll be trying another RX, since warranty work is going to take a month or more to get the 2 repaired/replaced I have! Maybe a DasMikro next! This is starting to get aggravating!
OH WELL, next month has to be better! It easily had a 2.9 second lap in it, I just couldn't pull it off tonight. It was a ping pong fest when I tried to up the throttle anymore!

I had ordered a brushed XSpeed motor to try and found it a handful swapped into my Stock car on the challenge track. I had disassembled the track to go back to a faster three tile wide setup and decided to try the XSpeed motor again and got the setup changed up a bit but was running out of rear grip. Decided to swap it into my LM mount and get the Toyota GT-One body going again and it drove so well with the extra power, that is how that car should have came from Kyosho! Might have to try that one, even if it requires some swapping to try another class. Kind of fun to stretch cars into different classes/configurations with some tinkering,

I had the same issue with the Xspeed being too much motor for the smaller M96 track. What I did that helped was turn down the Throttle DR to 70% and made driving so much easier. When you feel comfortable you can increase it back to 100% when ready or just leave it and run a clean 75 lapper. I found with faster classes, slower is faster bc I overshoot everything on this tight layout.
