ok, so im glad it wasnt just me that has my smaller wheelbase traction roll often.I run it in another group since its not a miata nor porsche and dont see any other group it would fit. After looking at the rules, would anyone be able to confirm if a GLF1 would qualify for the 2wd open class? Ive tried to search the forum but had not seen an f1 entry yet

Just keep asking legit questions, then it's not spam & you up the post count. For practice, just drive every chance you can. The more you can drive, the faster you'll get. I made decent (for me) improvements by driving 3 to 4 nights a week for 2+ hours average each of those nights. Keep in mind, I'm one of the slowest racers of this bunch, I've only been in M96WC since January this year.
Now that outdoor season is here, I'm a bit distracted with 1/10 & 1/8 scale racing on Sunday's, so Mini-Z has suffered a bit for me this month.

What KV motor and battery type are you running in the GLF1?

Month got away from me. Had to do most of my run in one shot with no warm up laps or setup changes. Just start the timer and drive.

First Off Welcome to the Challenge! As to your question I find, with my short 2 year experience with Mini-z's, when I found a setup I liked I can be almost as fast and just as consistent with my 90mm RM cars as I can with my 98/102mm cars, though the short wheel base cars require SMOOTH inputs on the controls. That's where running - Expo with CPU radios is a huge help! For me it's a trade off between shooting through the tight corners with the 90mm's vs. the high speed cornering stability of the 98/102mm. I'm working on painting my 2 94mm bodies, as they tend to be a good mix of the 2. Also different bodies handle/drive quiet differently at the same wheel base length, so I try to have a few bodies at each wheel base to try when the layout changes. Though availability and cost prohibit that for me especially at 86mm!

PoorBoy, that blue paint is GREAT!

I tried a few runs yesterday, but my hand was numb most of the time so my times were in the mid 7 minute mark. So I didn't post any times, but I'm getting a injection in my shoulder this week and hopefully it will help so I can get some good runs after the layout changes!
Take Care and Drive Fast! Drew

Notes-One of the more fun cars to drive, and better after gluing sidewall, but still flips easily if I clip an inside turn because its so light with no ballast added. Only a couple of runs with it this month, but again faster than my 98mm Box Stock NSX.
