I put a few runs with my Stock car on the clock, and I 4 SURE a Clock Wise dominate driver!!! I am almost a half second slower and mistake ridden! I had to turn the throttle end point from 75% to 50% to even get the car somewhat controllable turning CCW! I had to keep fighting my instincts when recovering from a mistake when needing to reverse, to not start going CW. Anyway here's a starting time to see how I improve through out the month.

This is with my PN2.5W 03EVO Stock chassis w/ Green Jomurema w/Lexan windows. Also I am trying to drive with a Soft Tx wheel, and I think I'm better with a firmer wheel. I tend to over correct going past center. Probably has a lot to do with the reduced feeling in my rt hand.

I also got some parts in from Wolfram for my Open Chassis (8500kv), and just in time too, as the HARD Reversing was destroying my 03 factory gear diff! Using the #6 motor plates in the 04 MM Pod, the PN Ball Diff geared 52/9, the car is SOOO MUCH better and controllable! It flat out RUNS with either a NSX or Camaro body using PN +1mm 19mm Dish Wheels up front, and the factory NSX +1 20mm rear wheels and PN KS Medium LH front and KSM Soft Rear Radials! Both bodies handle well but the NSX is a bit easier on the rails. I'll get some times tomorrow and post them up. The PN V4 motor mount should be hear Monday, so I will time with both pods ( PN V4 vs. Kyo MR04 MM) and see if there's a difference between the 2. I also got a PN 2.5W chassis to swap the Kyo 04 chassis, but it's dialed in as it is so I hate to change it!

Running both the NSX and the Camaro on the MR04 Open is a world of difference than on the 03! I shelved both the bodies after trying them on an MR03 as they had bad traction rolling problems no matter what I tried to solve it, but on the MR04 they show no signs of TR! Now the problem is I'm out of KS Medium LH fronts, and my normal go to stores are out of stock! Thinking of trying some Reflex tires, but I haven't seen anyone using them here yet. Anyone try them yet?

Anyway hope all is well! Drew
