This is my first run with my ProStock with a 12C body, and it was pretty good. I have been running and tweaking in my new MRX ME, but just felt like driving my ProStock this morning. I've hit a 3.315 fast lap with my MRX ME, so the ProStock time was pretty close, but where I can run 3.4xx laps pretty easy with my MRX ME 3.5xx's is where the prostock is running.

I'm thinking a 4:20.xxx is going to be a GREAT CLEAN run for this layout, BUT i doubt it will be me to hit it!:pWith all the new fast guys and the Old Dogs getting time to run, I think we will have some close driving this month!!!

Have fun Yall, and drive fast! Drew

Dampener (If applicable)- Oil Shock

Gearing- 7T
Notes - This one was a handful to get a clean run. Tried some 0 offset Reflex wheels up front with discs and got way more responsive steering with only the occasional roll on an over correction. Just had to stay off of the apexes because bouncing off one would send me nose first into the wall on the other side of the track. New resin balls in the lower arms seemed to make turning smoother. Still thinking about trying my Evo (with 4100 motor) as my Porsche chassis, maybe next month.

Gearing-Stock Gear Diff/7T pinion
Notes-This, my regular Box Stock car ended up being the quickest of the 3 I tried, including a new MR-04 that was 5 seconds slower. Even though I tried the MR-04 MM mount on this MR-03, it was still quicker with the MR-03 MM mount. I did change the t-plate and went back to stock front springs to try to reduce the rear hopping and lifting the inside rear and found the PN KS Medium fronts were better than the KSK 40s I'd been running. This was the most consistent Box Stock run I had at 95.66%, so there is room for improvement. I just wasted too much time running other cars that have been sitting on the shelf and trying to get the MR-04 working, but failed. Pretty frustrating month overall, and I'm missing being retired so I have more time to Mini-Z.
