Tom,
It looks like you have a lot of pre-load on your side springs. I have found that the side springs work like a roll bar and in doing so the stiffer the spring your run or the more preload you have will increase the rotation of the rear end. 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,
Jim

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.

Not up to my time from last month but reasonably happy with this run. Need to work on the setup of course. Not pictured was my PB of 4.2sec. Getting there!

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

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.

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
