Lil' Dover
Enough racers showed up to have two classes!! Is there a DRY spell OR what going on in the RC hobby?
After 5 - 6 minutes of track time the diff went out in the Losi AGAIN!!! :-(
Rebuilt the diff, three laps and the diff was dead AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The SC10 was just sweet!! So I put the Sidewinder esc and EZrun 9 turn motor from the Losi into the SC10. Finished 3rd in Open SC :-)
Stadium Truck was the other class that raced, finished 2nd with a 19 turn BRUSH motor!!!
===
Lil' Dover next Sat 3/26 and FZRC Sun 3/27.

All the parts came in to do a trans repair on the Losi XXX-SCT!
The EzRUN 9 turn motor was in the mail also! It's in the XXX-SCT with a Castle Sidewinder esc, VERY SMOOTH and FFAAAASSSTTT!!!!!!! :-)
===
The SC10 trans was dry diff balls, new balls and silicone grease fixed that!!
Re-bearinged the Speed Passion 10.5 motor for the SC10 hope to have that installed 3/16, for a bit of front yard testing.

Seems there is a Gentlemens agreement, between the SC director and the oval director) that the SC track will NOT use the oval's turns. Because we race on Sat and they race on Sun, which means they can't repair any damage in time for them to race. Seems fair, so the track gets changed Sat morning before we race! :-)

Killed the trans in the SC10! :-(
It's sitting next to the Losi XXX-SCT that is waiting trans parts also!!! :-(
Removed the crossover OR is that a crossunder!! The former track director at "WCRCC" assisted in updating parts of the track. Adjusted the track so we can use the left end of the oval track to add another CHALLANGE!!! :-)
===
Was planning to race at FZRC Sunday (3/13/11) BUT :-) My Dad and Mom are down from IL, so FAMILY comes first!!

Lil' Dover SC
Racers from FZRC in Sarasota came up for some CLAY racn'!!!
Tried to talk them into a 20 minute main!! Settled for 10 minute main! :-(
Broke before the 1st qual, TQ'd the 2nd qual and broke in the 3rd qual!!
Best I could do is try to bump up into the A-main, was in 1st for most of B-main, at the 6 minute mark was passed. Told the guy, as he was standing next to me that I'm backing off (after he passed me) to save for the A-main. DIDN'T know there was ONLY 1 BUMP UP!!!!
Got to marshal one GREAT 10 minute A-main!! They reversed the start order, so the TQ started LAST!!! Took Steve 1 and a half lap to race through the pack into 1st!!
===
Next week Lil' Dover Sat and FZRC Sun!!!
