You can get the micro receiver for it. I think I mentioned that in the GLR thread. GLR 1/27 Scale RWD Pan Chassis is the link, it will work with the 432 setups in fhs mode. I will try to find a gr3e rx and see if it will bind to this mode. Both the fhss mode will NOT work with my flysky this 2A RX even though they look very similar. Seems like Kyosho is really protective with their leathered up IT4S. The only known rxs thats goona bind to it are both sold by Kyosho, KR331 and KR431T. No one has test the radio with KR200 yet, so the compatibility is unknown. The good thing is if the gr3e works with the 432 and has a decent range, it will only cost you 5 bucks. But I need to test this after I get back to work.
But for the price point, 432 does fell short in performance when comparing it to the other two radios I have (Used m12 and ex6). It is not the latency but "resolution" from my experience. To me, the 432 seems to have a poor low-end throttle when compare to both Japanese radios and need extra attention when used with driving sensorless motor setup. However, it is the most comfortable out of the three thanks to its lightweight and adjustability. Also, the battery life is miles better than my ex6 thanks to the 432 takes AA instead of the tiny AAA cells.

And, that concludes the April running on the Mini 96 World Challenge. April saw a major increase in participation which resulted in 25 times in 5 classes being submitted for top billing, by far the most participation we have has as of yet. It is great to see this growth as it makes it more fun for all of us.

Other news for the month would be the addition of the Stock 90mm Narrow class. This class was new this month and is run using 90mm wheelbase cars set up in the narrow configuration and running 0* offset narrow wheels all around. The cars prove to be a lot faster then expected and super fun to drive. If you have a SWB chassis I highly recommend building a car to this class, I think these may be the most fun class to drive and the cars look great on track.

Before we get to the results I do want to touch on a couple administrative requests. As we gain participants it becomes even more important to follow the the formatting I have requested to make the posting of the results as fast and as efficient as possible. I know we had a bunch of new players so I was expecting some teething issues this month but if you could adhere to the following requests it will make my life easier and posting of the information faster.
  • Please only have one post per class. There were a couple of you who had more than one post for your class times. If you are updating your class time please edit your existing post with the fast time on top. Here is how I would ideally like to see the posts configured.
  • Please list all times in seconds. When times are listed in minute format I need to do the math, which I do in my head so there is a chance for a mistake, and it just takes more time for me to calculate the times.
  • Please do not combine times of different classes in one post.
  • Please make sure that the fast race information is always at the top of your post.
  • Please put commentary in the "Notes" section at the bottom of your race information or in a seperate post.
With that out of the way let's see who ended up where for April, the first number is the race time and the second number is the fast lap.

Nice work to everyone. Looking at the posted times there were some pretty hotly contested battles in a few classes and that is what makes for some great racing. Looking forward to seeing what you guys can do in May.

Drive fast and keep the shiny side up.

Cheers,

Here is the circuit for May.

Notes-I installed some helicoils in the screw holes for the T-Plate so I can not swap out T-Plates. I did some testing and got a little faster going to the stiffest Reflex G10 plate, I was on the softest, but I lost some consistency. I then went to the M6 Kyosho plate which is softer and I was a wee bit slower on ultimate pace but so consistent, in one 10 lap segments I went 7 laps at 4.12 and and the other three laps were within .05s of each other. I did park it up a couple times, one leading to a 9.5s lap. I should be able to get into the high 31Xs race time all said with a really clean run.

Started out with March's track with my first try at this, so April was an easy transition and had pretty good results with both directions. This track on the other hand is kicking my #$%! I am getting there with my LM car, but the Box Stock 98MM is not working well for me at all. It seems really twitchy and is hard for me to make smooth arcs into and out of the long straight. This radio is making me miss my expo! I have the dual rate setup where it barely makes the tighter turns as well. I went 1 step harder in tires all around witch seemed help dull the car down a bit. (K30 slick in front, K20 radial in rear).

Any suggestions for setup on this track with 98MM Box Stock?

i would go 40 front if u need to dull out the steering more. As for radio i really hate that thing after using my mt44. It feels like a Traxxas radio in comparison.

That tire combo is my favorite on most cars. Try stiffer t-plate, then stiffer front springs. If you are on #3 and red, those are both pretty soft. Just make one change at a time and test. Also try ditching the gyro. There is no radio limit in box stock, so if you have a better one, use it. Good luck and be sure to report back!
