Class-Pro Stock
Date-7/31/2021
Location- Elkton MD
Race Time- 334.61
Fastest Lap- 4.02
Chassis-PNR 2.5, EVO board
Body- Jomurema with lexan roof
Wheelbase-98mm
Tires- MZW2-30 , Marka V1R10 rears
Motor- kyosho speed 5600kv BL
Batteries- Orion 900HV
Front Springs- PN Green (PN front end)
T-Plate- wolfram CF #3 (side springs = kyosho yellow, 1 spacer preload)
Motor Mount- MZW309
Dampener MZW310
Dampener Fluid N/A - though there is oil in the shock.
Gearing- 7/44 (stock gear diff and gearing)
Notes: I couldn’t get this car to drive right - then I realized my rear shock was rubbing against the lexan window. I fixed that and it got worlds better but still not great. The diff was gritty… I dropped in the old trusty stock gear diff and the car was ready for a timed run. While this time is a lot slower than my stock time, I’m thrilled that I have the car drivable now. I suspect in the coming months, I will have more to show for this setup.

1st - Traveler 344.6/4.22s
2nd - ChemNut - 358.3/4.43s
Stock Class
1st - ChemNut - 317.0/4.00s
2nd - Traveler - 321.4/4.09s

Some really close racing in Box Stock class, with 1st, 2nd and 3rd separated by 2 seconds each and 4th only 5 seconds back. And new guy ChemNut continues to dominate in most of the classes.
FTM goes to ChemNut and his Stock car with a smoking 4.00 fast lap.
Please check my tabulations and let me know if I made any mistakes.
Same layout for August, but running Counter Clockwise. Drive fast!

August Class-box Stock
Date-08/18/2021
Location- Elkton MD
Race Time- 338.42
Fastest Lap - 4.29
Chassis-MR-03
Body- Audi R8
Tires- PN KS firm front (22.5 mm), Marka V1R10 rears
Motor- box stock
Batteries- Orion 900HV
Front Springs- kyosho red
T-Plate- silver PN #4
Motor Mount- MM.
Dampener Box stock
Gearing- 7t
Notes: The only change for this month was the addition of a 1.7mm spacer between the T-plate and the motor pod to lower the chassis to a height of ~1.5-1.7 mm. This did seem to improve my lap times from July despite observing a stronger tendency towards traction roll in the CCW direction (hence the reason for lowering ride heights where possible).

August Class-Stock
Date-08/08/2021
Location- Elkton MD
Race Time- 317.50s
Fastest Lap- 3.93
Chassis-PNR 2.5, EVO board
Body- Jomurema with lexan roof
Wheelbase-98mm
Tires- PN KS firm trimmed to 22.5 mm front, Marka V1R10 rears
Motor- kyosho speed 4100kv BL
Batteries- Orion 900HV
Front Springs- PN Green (PN front end)
T-Plate- wolfram CF #5
Motor Mount- Kyosho MML
Dampener Kyosho CF disk damper.
Dampener Fluid N/A -
Gearing- 44/7 PN stock kyosho gear diff.
Notes: changed from the MZ309/310 LM rear pod with side springs to the kyosho aluminum MML pod with CF disk damper. This allowed me to have a lower rear ride height of ~1.5 mm and enabled the use of the more grippy PN firm tires (seemed more grippy than my old MZW2-30’s). The car felt faster and more responsive but the time was nearly identical to last month…

Class- August Porsche Cup
Date-08/15/2021
Location- Elkton MD
Race Time-349.26
Fastest Lap-4.33
Chassis-MR-03
Body- Porsche 911 GT3 RSR 2005 No136 Yokohama MZP126AD
Wheelbase-90mm, narrow front
Tires- MZW39-40 front (22.5mm), PN KS medium narrow +2 rears
Motor- PN70T BB
Batteries- Orion 900HV
Front Springs- kyosho purple
T-Plate- PN CF #3
Motor Mount- PN reconfigurable mount.
Dampener PN disk damper
Fluid - N/A
Gearing- 8/44 - stock gear diff.
Notes: I didn’t get a chance to log many full runs with the Porsche but I spent a lot of time tweaking. Traction roll is the big enemy here - and this older ASC body is more narrow than the newest 911 GT3 RS ASC bodies. This is most evident in the rear - where trying to lower ride height results in wheel rub even with 0 offset tires. Going to narrow rears with +2 offset allowed me to lower it a little but traction roll was still a constant battle - but this also encourages smoother driving practice…
