Fancy MR03 Front Suspension Setup

These front suspension parts from R246 may not be new, but I hadn't seen them before.

I see oil shock dampers and a sway bar, fancy stuff compared to the stock setup or even to the optional Reflex (long king pin) or PN (reverse king pin) setups.

I could not find any reviews yet though.

New Limited Series MR03 Chassis


Kyosho announced a new limited series MR03 chassis, with new electronics.

Apparently, the main new feature is the addition of a function called chase mode, which boosts the car performance for three seconds, to provide more power for overtaking others.

Not sure if we would ever use it, since the "boost" comes from actually limiting the car performance for the rest of the time, when not in chase mode.

<Update> The red chassis shown on the above link is in fact a limited series, the chase mode however is becoming standard on all MR03 boards, starting early next year.

20101124 Championship Results

These are the results for the November 24, 2010 Championship:

1. Fernando (24 points)
2. Fabio (21 points)

As you can see, there were only two drivers, so not a lot of traffic. Lap times were high though, no new records. We only ran three sets of four races.

20101116 LM Performance Curves

Same as previous post, now for drivers/cars running on LM configuration:

20101116 MM Performance Curves

These are the performance curves for last race night, November 16, 2010, for Drivers/Cars running on a MM configuration:
Note: (1) Data for JP03MM is from 20101020 (latest large data series). (2) Data series for CM03MM is rather short.

Indy Haagring Layout

For those who think our current layout is too technical, this is a minor change (just a few plates) that would create an Indy like "oval" layout.

I didn't remove the S at the end of the large straight though.

20101116 Championship Results

These are the results for the November 16, 2010 Championship:

1. Fabio (30 points)
1. Fernando (30 points)
3. Daniel (15 points)
4. Julio (11 points)
4. Clovis (10 points)

It was a very busy night, with 5 cars on the track for most of the time. Track records were broken both for laps and for fastest lap. Overall, consistency (with speed) seemed to have paid off more than just raw speed.
