Traveler2 I tried running what you run on the Jomurema with new PN KS-M medium fronts and soft radial rears. This is the first time I tried the KS-M formula, and they have much more grip, and while it's great in the rear it is too much in the front! They are causing me to traction roll very bad in the first corner off the straight! I have to back out of the throttle and feather it or over I go! I reread most of the last 300 pages of the Mini-z thread to get some help, so with that I went to the hardest front spring and it helped quite a bit, but while looking over the front end I noticed the arms weren't level above the springs. So I pulled the upper arms and after quite a bit of looking I found that a few of the plastic shims from Kyosho were off. I had 4 shims at 0.49mm, but the 2 that were supposed to be 0.8mm were actually 0.59 and 0.72. So I've replaced the 2 bad shims with the PN metal shims for now, but I have some PN plastic shims on order, and some more 19mm wheels, as well as some more tires.
I've also weighed my cars, batteries, and bodies, and wow does it add up fast! My 98mm chassis is at 84 grams and my 94mm is 88g with a PN top shock. My Eneloop batteries come in at 47.5 &47.6g for each set of 4, while my 2 sets of Speed House's come in at 49.65 & 49.4g. The factory painted Ferrari 575 M is 41.41g and my rattle can Jomurema is 40.89g. So that puts the 98mm at 172.39g and the 94mm at 176.91g, and you have to add 2 more grams if use the SpeedHouse batteries! From what I remember reading that's close to 10g heavier than what Yall are running for your sanctioned races. Hopefully my airbrushed bodies will shed some weight, because I don't see where I can loose 10g.
Anyway almost done with my 12C, but the rain is slowing the painting process. Also been struggling with kind of a weird dizziness after running 50+ laps when going threw the switchbacks before the straight! It's like my mind is seeing everything a millisecond behind what is going on! Almost like I'm blinking as the car goes threw the turns, but I'm not. So I don't know. It's much worse with the Orange Jomurema, so maybe it's the orange of the body, and the sequence of the red corners, the way the slightly different colors of the RCP tiles laid out in this setup, or...? I have been driving a lot more each day, so maybe that is it.
Anyway Thanks for all the help! I'd given up on this scale RC a long time ago if it wasn't for Yall!
Take Care and Drive Fast!
