Well, after doing some reading the past Mini-z thread about slowing down and concentrating on consistency not speed I had 2 good 75lap runs with my Pro Stock and 911 without having to use reverse once!!! It's the best runs I've had! Only once with my 911 I tipped it on it's side, and I had to jump up and go lay it over. Which caused a 10+ second lap. I ran my 911 first, then my Pro Stock, but I guess I didn't get a good charge on the SpeedHouse AAA's, as they dumped at around lap 35 in my 787B! You can see my times increase from the upper 4 second laps to mid 5's. I was holding full throttle most of the time during the last ten laps. Also I replaced all the bearings with Avid bearings, and they are very smooth while having tight tolerances! Wheels and axels roll forever!
I'll update my times when I get better runs, but I had to post my first runs with no reverse mistakes!

Notes- Car is running good, but between the high humidity and vacuuming the track the grip level was high and traction rolling at the first hair pin off the straight became a problem. So being smooth with the steering and throttle became a must! I have 5 grams of Tungsten putty in each battery notch under the chassis for a total of 10 grams.
