I vote for #2 first and then #1 for May and June. Either one looks fun since they are both new to me. I like that they use up the whole track pcs this time around. Higher lap times and more technical is always preferred for me.

Let's go!

I'm going with #1 . I actually like #2 better, but it's been a while since we've run a full layout, and with soo many joining us i figured a start on the "factory" layout would give everyone a long, but not overly complicated design.

Whatever we go with, they are both a blast!
Thanks for voting!!!

Notes- ESC in "Blinky" zero-timing mode. Definitely didn't give this one enough time this month and with medium low traction it was a handful to drive. Didn't get anywhere near desirable consistency hopefully do better with the open car next month.

I vote for number 1. I've never tried the standard layout (only the February one since I got the track, two weeks ago )

Notes-This is my brand new and first MR-04 chassis that I bought in late January because I thought my regular MR-03 was limiting my times. With minimal upgrades (t-plate, Kyosho alloy knuckles, front springs and tires) and tweaking, I was able to beat my January MR-03 time by over 5 seconds, and I know there is more potential in the car than I have yet to find. The MR-04 steering so so much better than the MR-03 its really no contest.

Notes-This car is super quick and fun, but a challenge to drive consistently. I only had a couple of tries this month and was 0.3 seconds shy of last month with 91.38% consistency. I used the left over bits from my MR-04 ReadySet to convert the front end of this car to the 04 suspension and the steering improved, but I never got a better time that with the 03 front end so this time is with the 03 suspension.

Notes-

This is my first time in this competition, and I won't deny that I really struggled to achieve this time and an almost clean run (I did more than 4000 laps on this layout ). I tried so many combinations of front/rear springs, even PN tires at the front.
I'm sure I can shave a little off the time, but I have no idea where.
I'm also not entirely sure that the batteries are competitive (including the charger I use), so maybe I should invest in something more professional.
In the next few days, I'll be getting the rims with flanged discs, so I won't have to glue the tires on, maybe!
If you have any suggestions, including on the setup, they are very welcome!

PS: I had a lot of fun!!

I vote for 2.
