I played with this a bit and ended up running mine loose enough where at full deflection of the pod the spring is about 1mm short of making contact with the spring seat and adjusting collar. With that said I am running hard bodies and blue springs where I see you running a lexan body and green springs so not sure how that translate but it might be worth playing with that.

Cheers,

I started with much softer side springs but was getting traction rolling. I went with the harder spring because that always seemed to help on the larger track. It did seem to make an improvement on the small track but maybe I've gone too far.

I'm running 0 deg camber in the front and may switch out to the 1.5. I would try 1deg but don't have any.

Headed downstairs now to put in my entry for this month.

Hello All,
Good to see some last minute times getting posted. It is also great to see some newbies joining us and just wanted to post some words of encouragement. Being competitive is hard work and can be super frustrating at times but keep at it and at some point you to will be able to place the car within MM's of where you want it and bang off super fast laps......

I will get results posted up tomorrow but I wanted to let you all know that April's circuit will be the same as March's but run counter clockwise.

Cheers,
Jim

Default March Results

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Hello All,
Sorry for the delay in getting the March results posted but here we go.

Not a lot of participation this month which I find surprising given everything that is going on right now and the fact that we should all be hunkered down to stop the spread. With that said we have two new players this month which is great to see. It seems like there are a number of new tracks being shown on FB and I have been trying to convert them to competitors. If any of you guys are involved with any of the Mini-Z groups on social networks please feel free to spread the word. The more participants we get the better the compitition.

With that said lets get to the results.

Box Stock-
3rd- Norcalhammer 471.2s Race Time
2nd-FastJew 465.4s Race Time/5.46s Fast Lap
1st- Traveler2 369.57 Race Time/4.5s Fast Lap

Stock-
2nd-LJH 349.4s Race Time/4.29s Fast Lap
1st- Traveler2 341.76 Race Time/4.22s Fast Lap

Pro-Stock-
1st- LJH 347.0s Race Time/ 4.08s Fast Lap

Open 2WD
2nd- Tomthegeek 382.22 Race Time/ 4.5s Last Lap
1st- LJH 345.4s Race Time/4.04s Fast Lap.

FTM - Traveler with a 341.76s using his Stock Car.


April's circuit is the same as March but running counterclockwise and still on the smooth side.

Let's see what kind of hot laps you folks can lay down.

Be safe all.

Cheers,
Jim

Has anyone tried the MR03Evo with the 4100 motor for Mini 96? Wondering how this compared to the same chassis with the 5600 motor.

You be safe out there. I keep in touch with some of the medical professionals that I met after my accident and I hear it is a very scary situation right now. Please be careful and thank you for what you do.

Cheers,
Jim
