Farmers Friday night under the lights!!! SWEEEEEEET!!!!!
First race of the night was gas truck, premo traction, it has been a long time since I could pull full trigger!!!!
By the 5th qual the traction was gone!!! Although I was in 3rd over all in qualifying I had to work my tail to get there. Made the A-main for Mod SC qual in 5th.
===
Finished 2nd in gas truck, haven't had to drive that hard in a LONG time! :-)
In MOD SC I was in 8th on lap 4, just behind 5th through 7th about to see how quickly I could move up when a left rear wheel came off!!! I was down four laps by the time I got back on the track. Was able to get one lap back so I only finished 3 laps down in 10th.

All packed up and ready to race!!!
RAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-(
So, with all this extra time, I went on ebay and found a GREAT deal on a multi-charger to replace the Core-RC charger that died last Saturday.
It's a Poli Max B6 that charges just about every kind of RC battery.
# Operating voltage range:DC 11.0~18.0 Volt
# NiCd/NiMH battery cell count:1~15 cell
# li-ion/Polymer count:1~6 cell
# Pb battery voltage:2V~20V (lead/acid automobile)
Have a ImaxRC B6 Pro charger that works SWEEEET!!!

SATURDAY RACN'!!!!!!!! SWEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Test drove AND raced the Losi XXXSC. The test drive was planed the racing wasn't. Had a steering problem with the SC10, the servo fried, didn't have time to change it out so the Losi got a race test!
After getting the servo changed out, I think I hit every racers truck and every pipe during the 10 minute main, still finished 5th BUT just NOT a clean race on my part!!!
This should be the last day light club race for the year, back to Racn' under the lights on Friday nights!!!

3/5/10
Last Sunday (2/28/10), didn't race so good! Had some DUMB idea to try the stock/manual setup for the SC10 <<< DUMB, DUMB AND DUMBER!!!!! Would not turn, the rear would swing around under power and flip around under braking!!!!
After the first qualifier, I started putting 2/21/10 setup on the SC10. MUCH better for the 2nd qualifier BUT still not right! But did qualify 6th out of 10. I was in 3rd on lap 3 when a 4wd truck hit me at full power going into a turn, blew the servo link into three pieces!!! Was down 3 laps by the time I got the part replaced. Got one lap back, missed a another by 6.4 sec's!!!! Which would have moved me from 10th to 8th!!
When I checked the SC10 Monday I found that I had forgot about the front c-hub change!!! Took the 25 degree off and installed the 30 degree hubs, this should fix the handling problem.
===
The ProLine Caliber tires where in the mail box Wednesday, have them mounted on a set of JConcepts Rulux rims. Front and rear SC10 body mount came today (Friday) have those installed, new 5000 lipo is charged so LETS RACE!!!!
===
Traded a HPI Firestorm gas truck for a Losi XXXT for "Make a RC Wish" have put a chassis extender on with Short Course body mounts, hope to test it Saturday before racing begins.
