He has gotten a handle on off road racn'!!!! :-)

Larry and Richard had a good lead on me AND PULLING AWAY!!! The sun caused some sweating of my forehead and the sweat got into my left eye, then my right, I was LUCKY to keep 3rd place!!!

FIRCC

Did a three lap test of the Novak esc, that was the only change to the SC10. WAY to much power!!! Took the Novak 6.5 Lite motor out and installed a Tekin Redline 10.5 motor. Still had to much POWER!!!! Was going to change AGAIN to a smaller motor (Speed Passion 13.5) until I found out I was already running the smallest motor compared to the other racers!!!!

Had the motor sensor wire come un-pluged two time and once from the esc!!! I've NEVER had this problem before!!

About minute 4 of the ten minute main, I JUST touched a corner pipe and broke the steering servo arm into, so NO steering. BUT I got to watch "The Chad" try for a track record of amount of laps in 10 minutes, racing traffic slowed him down :-(

HAPPY BIRTHDAY >>>>> to ME!!!!

I'm 3 score now!! (one score is 20 years)

===

It's alive!!! IT'S ALIVE!!! IT'S ALIVE!!!!!!!

As I was parting out the Speed Passion GT 1.1 esc, I found the white wire that hooks the esc to the receiver was broken 8-)

Replaced the receiver wire bundle, did a test >>> It's alive!!! IT'S ALIVE!!! IT'S ALIVE!!!!!!!!!

The "New" (used) Novak SC esc should be in the mail box tomorrow (Monday). Which ever of the two esc has the best spec's will go into the SC10 and the other into the J82.

10/8/10

Carpet racn' at FIRCC >>> $20.00 for the first class!!!!!!!!!!!!

Most tracks are $10.00, $12.00 or $15.00!!! Guess it's the cost of AC!!!!!!!!! :-)

===

The GREAT, WONDERFUL, INCREDIBLE AND FABULOUS Speed Passion GT 1.1 speed control DIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-(

This was one easy speed control to setup and fit to track needs!

CAN'T FIND ANOTHER ONE ANYWHERE!!! ;-(

===

Because of the above, raced the J82 with the LRP IA speed control that is JUNK!!! Has NO reverse lock out so IF you brake to long you go into reverse!!!!

Qual in 4th, was pushing the racer in 1st by lap two and push hard for two minutes before I landed a jump wrong and I never was close to him again! Finished 2nd :-)

Lil' Dover SC next week!

Lil' Dover SC

Three classes today :-) 2wd, 4wd and NITRO!!!

The track crew is learning just how mush water to put on the track, they where 99.9999999% perfect!!

TQ'd 2wd SC class and ran away with the win after the 2nd place racer's battery dumped at the 6 minute mark!!! I'm sure he learned his leason >> Lipo or loser!!!

Got to race the GT2SC, not just race a qual', didn't matter IF I won cause I was with a Jato and a Losi 1.0 buggy converted to SC. The Jato didn't make it to the main, so the other racer and I just had fun racing NITRO SC!!!!

===

LD is hosting a oval race next week so it's CARPET racn' 10/8/10 for me.
