with PN updating rules will Box Stock allowing lexan windows/ roofs as long as the finished body meets the 24g minimum will this be allowed for M96 challenge as well or will we be sticking with the hard body stock window format?

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,

Yup, the Xspeed motor is a handful on the Mini96, but once ya get the gearing and radio/esc settings right, they are fun! And you are 100% correct on the power waking up the Toyota GT-One!!! I put a PN 50T in my Plastic LM pod with a GT-One, and WOW it drove soo much better! Tinkering is almost as fun as driving, to me! Thats one reason I have over 20 different bodies for 7 chassis. I tend to get bored, and have to change something! :p And the expansion pack is something I REALLY WANT for my setup, but unless I tare a wall down between 2 bedrooms, it won't fit inside my house, and my Garage is like a oven in the Texas heat so that's a no go. I really needed an expansion pack with my driving tonight! :blush:

Good Luck with the motor upgrade, and keep us posted!

It uses all the tiles, and is pretty fast, but FUN once ya get your rhythm down!
