Well I spent the end of the month helping my Parents, so I didn't get any times, but I wanted to run the track before switching it to the new layout. I got my Kyosho LM MR03 pod and gear diff in, and put it on my Ready set chassis with a PN 70T. It is my first time using Kyosho's plastic disk damper, and I like it better than the factory spring shock, but not as much as PN's carbon damper. The Kyosho isn't as smooth, so I added Ruby Lube, which helped alot.
While I LOVE the look of the Yota GT One, when you have the wing, top scoop, windshield, front and rear diffusers, and inner front body panels in it tops the scale at 44g and that's before any paint!!! When my 787B is 38g with paint, Green Jomu w/ Lexan window and wing is 29g, McLaren 12C w/Lexan window and factory wing is 26g and my no roof Jomu, stripped, sanded and ready for paint is 18.7g and the roof is 2.5g trimmed and ready to install, so 21.2g before paint.
Anyway the GT One might be better run on a ProStock Chassis, because even with the PN70T, it was slow a sluggish.
My time on last months layout with the GT One was 6:43.9 with a fast lap of 4.540 and longest streak of 5 laps at 56%. Then I switched to my 787B and ran 6:19.2 with a fast lap of 4.586 with a streak of 20laps at 80%! No other changes other than +2mm wheels from +3mm. The 787B is much more stable with no Traction Rolling! Next I ran my Green Jomu at 94mm and time was 6:21.3 with a fast lap of 4.548 and streak of 16 laps at 77%. My steering hand is having problems going numb from nerve damage so my times could be better as well as not driving much the last few weeks. I tried to run my 911 and it didn't go very well. 75 lap time was 7:06.6 w/ fast lap of 4.901 and longest streak of 14 laps at 63%. I didn't have the exact control needed with the SWB RM cars today. Oh well, off to setup the new layout!
We will get our new A/C tomorrow!!! YEA!!
GREAT to see all the new faces!!!
