The car doesnt look too far down on traction in the video, but its hard to tell.

It's the X-power IMT 102mm. I have one of the new Marka 102mm that I need to paint. I had just about gotten adjusted to 102mm and the PN pan car body on the big Tracks Hobbies layout but then everything shutdown and the pan car doesn't work so well on the Mini96. I actually want to go back to 98mm for the smaller track but the Atomic motor I have doesn't fit in the smaller pod. It's not driving that bad actually. The rear doesn't stay hooked up when I really whip it around a corner. Could be all the drag brake this motor has. This months layout has exaggerated the behavior as it's mostly 180 hairpins. I need to try different front to rear balance, maybe go back to the 1.5 camber in front it is at 0 now. Basically I'm starting from scratch on this small layout and I just need to put in the laps to figure things out.

Front springs are GL green, sides are Kyosho green, Center is the GL long green.

Nice job Marco! Welcome to the challenge! Hope things in Milan are improving. I need to get my PNR2.5 3500kv car out...

Marwan

p.s. you'll be able to post pics soon. No problem.

MSAN 04-17-2020 05:25 AM

In Milan, a little better, but it will still be hard ...
I hope the situation is improving in the United States... As soon as I can I will do other tests, the car is going very well, but I know it can give me even more .. then I have to be able to turn to decent times, no more at night .. hahaha

Mini 96 track
 
Ordered my Mini 96 from Salt Lake Mini Z yesterday. Hope to be up and running in a week or so.

Today marks the 1 year anniversary of the Mini96 World Challenge. A year ago today The official rules were posted as well as the fist circuit that we ran. All in all I think the M96WC is maturing well, we have had a slow but steady growth with a major uptick once the FB Group page was set up. I hope all of you are enjoying the good natured competition that the M96WC brings. I, for one, have learned a lot about these little cars and while there are times of frustration there is also a feeling of satisfaction when you change something up, or nail a good run, and you improve your time. Thanks for running, without all of you it would not be nearly as fun.

I was just looking at some numbers and figured I would post a couple stats I thought were interesting:
-So far we have had right around 28 drivers post times in the first year.
-In the last year there have been roughly 170 times posted.
-Times have been posted in 7 different classes.
-Each 75 lap stint is roughly a mile in length.

With all this said lets see what kind of participation numbers we can get in year two. I do want to say that it seems like there are a number of folks who have shown interest but have not posted times. If you have a track and run please post your time no matter how competitive your time is. I ask you to do this for a couple reasons, the more people that post times the more likely other will post. While you may not be sitting on the podium you will get a sense of who you are close to in speed and can gauge your performance and progress off of them. Secondly it is cool looking back, this morning I was looking at my times from a year ago and realize how far I have come.....My first postings from my GLR had a fast lap of 5s and now I am turning 4s laps......So please, if you run post your times.

Cheers,
Jim

in my excitement, I didn't read the fine print. The track will be back in stock 5/12. No fault of theirs. Completely on me. That DOES give me time to build my new GL-R!

I have a mini 96. What configuration is used for the times that are being recorded? I have lap tracker app.

First entry for Mini96WC. Think I finally got the hang of the layout, but can't come anywhere close to a 5 minute run or 4 second lap, holy fast! This will have to do for now, maybe I'll get a faster run in before the end of the month.

good morning everyone, a kindness: the most used categories are: boxstock, stock and prostock? or is there a continuous comparison on all categories? last thing: is it possible to use brushless motors of any 5500kv brand for prostock? thank you very much.

Depends on the month, I will post times in Super Stock because I like driving my Super Stock car but we usually do not have to many participants in SS. In the Open Class we usually have a number of guys post up times.

Yes, you can use any 5100/5600kv motor in Super Stock.

Cheers,
Jim
