Nope. I’m still hoping that the KT-531 receiver will become available before MiniZ season ends. Though I’m having doubts. There’s a real chance I won’t get to run my Evo till the fall. I expect it to be too much for the mini96 track. Supposedly it went on pre-order in Japan last month. But can’t find anything for it.

Will see what happens. Got 5 racedays left between now and May 10. Pretty much written off any chance for this month. Unless they suddenly become available.

i think you will be plesently surprised with the Evo on the MIni-96. Both my MR03’s are now running 48T motors which I believe is close in performance to the 5500KV brushless setup. My MR03’s are a hoot on the Mini-96 and not to much in the slightest.
Also, wait until you have your BZ built, I got about 4 hours of running my GLA on the mini-96 track this weekend and it is super fun. I really did not think I would be able to use all the power but it is no issue at all, my lap record has fallen to 4.76s.
Cheers,
Jim

have you considered using an LM height damper plate for more clearance? As long as you have the clearance using the more forward hole, you should be fine. But, you may need to adjust springs to dial in the rear. You will have a slight chance in the geometry of the damper.

I have designed my own to be 3d printed, loosely based on the 3racing model which I had to reference. If you plan to race under production class rules (PN), 3d printed parts are not permitted. I personally do not agree with this rule if the parts are available to be purchased in an online an such as shapeways, but I don't write the rules. The white models are the prototype, red/blue production sample. I am revising tonight to have both print in one part, adding a 102mm damper plate, and slotting the top shock mount for fine adjustment rather than using holes. I spaced the red arms further away from center than the 3racing LM adapter to give more space for the damper to move laterally. It also allows me to use the titanium atomic LM plate with my adapter (which was not planned).
