Agreed! Just set mine up, ran a few practice laps with Box Stock car and then got first 75 laps in for a baseline. Lots of steering, not much throttle. A serious wrist workout! LOL!

Please do not take this the wrong way.

I am thinking you just need more practice, I know you mentioned that you could not break a 5s lap with your Stock Class car on last months circuit so no, at that point you did not really have any flow on course yet. I find that once I start getting up to speed on a particular circuit you start linking the apex of two corners together and many of the turns start to flow together. On last months circuit I found that the first three left hand turns coming off the main straight were really one big corner and when you nailed it it was really satisfying and fast.

With that said can it be frustrating? For sure, I had a lot of issues with last month's course and for awhile there I was wondering if I had lost my touch and could no longer drive these little cars. It turns out I did not really lose my touch but I just needed more practice and by the end of the month I was turning some competitive laps and I personally found that pretty satisfying.

I'm lucky that I'm living in a 2 bedroom apartment in Tokyo, clearing out the second bedroom (used to be my workshop and virtual garage) for 4m/3m space for the track. Seem like space is not the problem, but I'm sure my neighbor wouldn't appreciate the sound when I'm doing Time Attacking lol. Anyway, I'm still waiting for 2 30 Kyosho track to ship my way, ETA unknown is pretty worrisome. I'll let you guys know when mine arrived, hopefully my apartment manager won't kick me out of the building lol.

Welcome, good to have you on board.

Have to figure out what class you will run in, maybe Open AWD? What motor are you running?

Traveler, do you have any experience on classification of MA030's from the racing you have done? I am not familiar with the performance potential of the Kyosho AWD offerings.

Cheers,

The AWDs usually have their own class, and as you mentioned he can run it in the Open AWD Mini-96 class. Maybe Titanmaru can get an MR-03 too?

So I bit the bullet and bought the kt432p radio. 2 questions
1. What is steering force
2. Where can i get a micro reciver for it this way when i get my glr i dont have to worry bout it

I'm waiting for my Mini 96 to arrive and have cleaned out a portion of the basement to run in. Is it advisable to run plastic sheeting under the track or simply set down onto the bare floor?
