Thank you, that is what I needed to see. I remember most of it but forgot he vented the body at the rear end of the roofline.
I may leave a bit more of the rear end than color01 did.

I spent some time getting acquainted with my new truck mount adapter parts, thanks Byebye. The quality of the parts is top notch. The fit is excellent on everything and it all goes together so well. I will have to do some significant chopping and fabricating to get the body parts I have to fit my Z. Wish me luck...

Flipside was so user friendly in the way you simply ran thru to setup a race, although they don't offer race management for qualifiers, mains, etc. so it really was not suited to properly formatted race events. I suspect Next Level operates similarly to Flipside. I'll have to download and test it out this weekend but unless it has race management, not well suited to our formatted racing. It says they do management but no real instructions, tutorials or real documentation showing how this is done. Perhaps someone familiar with it can create a 'how to' thread to help inform others.
Back to the subject at hand... I'm not doing with mini-z's anything until Saturday morning .

I'm pretty sure you emailed me but to clarify for the forum that the Next Level Timing System does not yet include race management features. It includes "Racer Management". If I have text somewhere that says that it supports race management please let me know. I will attempt to find some people to work with to get these features sorted but I suspect it will be some time before they get implemented. I am currently focused on basic features at the moment. The feature set needed for race management is dependent on the basics working well.

As it gets colder out I will be trying out this system at home. It sounds like something useful that I want to download.
Tonight was cleaning and greasing ball diffs and mounting tires to get ready for the race at Hobbytown over in Toms River. The hot glue gun got some use reattaching some battle losses. About done for tonight, now I need a snack...

I'm currently running my stock MR-03. looking to get some new wheels but it doesn't really need much right now.

The MA-015 is just for drifting. I'm currently making an MX-5 body for it, but the F355 looks quite nice with those wheels as well.

Although I received the esc's and transponders, haven't got around to using them just yet...
I believe superfly was able to do an esc swap... I believe all was good... he might be able to give you more info regarding performance...
Got both esc and transponders (made by das mikro) at banggood site...
Hope this helps

I've had a little bit of mixed results with the DasMikro ASF boards. I bought 3.
Installed the first one in a crystal MR02 chassis, it ran fine for quite a while. Put in a different motor and swapped the body, and a little while later, a component on the board burned up and let some smoke out. It wasn't a FET, it was a very small little cube, about the size of #2 pencil lead.
Took that board out, and replaced it with board #2. It's still working pretty well, but has occasional steering twitch. I don't think this is a problem with the board, but probably too many times opening and closing the steering servo area. This is actually a HUGE issue for many situations when one gets into the guts of a car and you need to re-solder the steering pot. You have to try to be really careful with your handling and application of heat to the pot. It's very sensitive, and the quality of your steering depends on it.
I harvested the FETS from board #1, and stacked them on the bottom of board #3, and put that board in another old crystal MR02 chassis. I built this car into a 90mm Porsche 911 GT1 with a HFAY (70T) spec motor. It's not my fasted car in terms of raw speed, but I can turn the most consistent laps with it, and consider it one of my best cars.
I had no trouble pairing it with my EX-1UR, and any problems I had weren't necessarily to blame on the boards themselves.

Super Fly, do you solder the motor wires to the board? Where is the chip that burned up located? Resistor or capacitor is what im thinking burned.
I have read good things about the dasmikro asf pcb, but have also read about stuttering in the steering when standing. I have this on a few of my genuine kyosho boards, so I would say par for the course.

I just screwed the motor wires down like normal. In my experience (which means "not much"), problems with stuttering or twitchy steering is usually a symptom of a bad/dirty/misaligned steering pot, or a hot motor that needs capacitors added (but this was back in 27AM days). I remember there used to be a lot of discussion about shimming that pot, or adding a screw to the chassis to put pressure on the pot. Anyway, I guess my point is I don't necessarily blame the board for twitchy steering issues.

Cool review... was wondering if you added a third wire to the pot, since most 02 boards only had 2 wires to the pot...
Also wondering, if there is an issue regarding different servo motors (02 vs 03) being used...
Any reviews on the das mikro lap transponders?

Herman, you will need to add the third wire for AM to ASF conversions. Just look for pictures of the Kyosho boards to figure out the wiring to the pot.
The different motors shouldnt matter. Some setups require opposite polarity of the motor, but I forget which (maybe AWD and F1). When you have it wired up, if the servo pulls away from center, then the polarity is reversed.
