Well, another sleepless night here in Texas, and I got bored and wanted to test the repair on my Mazda 787B. So I swapped my Stock chassis from 98mm 12C to my 787B. I have the Multi Mount pod so the swap was easy, but I had to adjust the height of the body clips to lower the body height, as it was too high and causing T.R. problems. I also removed the rear wing, as it hangs up on the walls when I clip a wall or roll it, also it's a bit of weight up high too.

So now that the weight is as low as possible I went to tire/wheel selection. I went with +2mm N PN Dish wheels w/ KS-M Medium LP, which has been good on the 787. I started with 14mm Speed Dish wheels and KS-M Softs, but I didn't have enough steering, so I went to +2mm W PN BBS wheels and KS-M Soft Radials. Bam steering is back and T.R. is much better.

This is a new PN chassis and I only had the center pocket, in front of the power switch, filled with Tungsten putty. So I added 2g stick on weights to either side of the chassis, and it sticks and steers better. It was 130g before weights w/no batteries, 134g after. I ran it with SpeedHouse batteries that weigh 50g. These are a year old batteries, so they don't have alot of punch, but their speed is ok. With them I ran about 15 minutes and I'm happy to say the repair to the body with PLASTIC SURGERY is holding strong after some hard hits head on into the wall off the 90* on the main straight!!! Not even a hint of recracking, and all I did was put a drop in the crack and around the edge of the headlight lens, with no additional structure added. It slightly fogged the lens, but nothing like normal super glue. I'll add a pic later.

Anyway, I'm having fun on this layout even going CCW! It's a challenge to get the throttle control and steering just right going as fast as this track will run, but when you get it right it is awesome!

P.S. I also received a email today from Banzai saying my shipment has experienced "an Delivery Exception" and to call the carrier asap. It is in New York Customs. It looks as it is passing through, and I'm HAPPY as the number I have for Japan Parcel wouldn't work! Hope the C9 is here soon!
