Turning a Kitsune into a racer

[The Beast at Tanagra]

I'm trying to tune a Kitsune shuttle for racing. Anyone experienced with racing that might have some insight into how to make that a possibility? Mostly I'm having trouble with the RCS thrusters. The racing ones don't seem very good for the Kitsune in particular.

In racing, you usually have to balance handling with power; I'd say gimbal mount RCS systems with the power cranked up would be your best choice for moving the Kitsune and getting tight cornering.

You've got the three rear RCS, that usually do vector cancelling, but the gimbal mounts can direct all the thrust straight back, giving you a better push with less thrust cancellation.

At a glance, the racing thrusters SHOULD be optimal for this, but I can certainly believe you'd have so much power that it'd be harder to control. Try the ERS ones, even though they're half the thrust.

The issue I'm having with them is that they're pulsing in weird intervals, so my turning and acceleration is essentially "stuttered" so that it's really hard to control. I guess I need RCS thrusters that are variable thrust instead of pulsed.
