Sorry for the noob question, but I am a little confused by this rule in Box Stock "Any Kyosho plastic motor mount that does not incorporate a disc dampener can be used for 86-98MM Wheelbases." Can we run the LM motor mount with disc dampener on the Box Stock car with a 102mm wheelbase?

I broke my MM car's differential with a few too many excursions into the wall The good news is it has served as an excellent trainer and allowed me to get some major improvements in my race time!

After jacking up the differential in the Mclaren I was robbing one out of my shelf queen Audi LMS and decided could the foam track really hurt the body? So instead of swapping parts I just ran the Audi and after some adjustments to car and driving style I have been really happy with the results. Main thing is I noticed the Audi does not seam to slam to a stop if I just brush a wall on a straight section. This resulted in not much more of a faster lap, but a much more consistent run. I am thinking the little downforce generators that are on the front of the Mclaren do not play nice with the foams walls on the track.

I will post the Lap Tracker screen shot on the FB group.
