FZRC (Sarasota)
T4
Did some testing and like what I had to work with. :-)
BUT, choose to change the body and tires to make it a J82 buggy.
With the Speed Passion GT1.1 esc and Novak 13.5 motor installed the J82 was a SWEEET buggy made the A-main qual 7th. Got passed by 1st, 2nd and 3rd about every 3rd-4th lap!!!!
Forgot to look at the results to see where I finished!
===
XXX-SCT
Esc and motor was just JUNK!!!
Installed a Corelly MMN3 esc and a 19x2 spec motor, they had NO speed!!
Parked it!
===
SC10
Installed a Novak Dually esc and a 14x2 mod motor, this was one fast SC!!!! :-)
Noticed about minute 5 of the 6 minute qual the SC10 was slowing down, hoped that the motor was OK! 40 sec's to go and there was NO go from the motor. Put new brushes in and thought I was good to go!!! 2nd qual by the 2 minute mark I was dead on the track. Took the motor out of the XXX-SCT, replaced the brushes and installed the motor.
Was in 1st place in the SC Mod B-main by a half a lap when the motor FRIED!!!
Been to meany years of brushless motor gearing, forgot how to gear a brush motor, powered by a lipo battery! :-(
===
Ordered a Speed Passion Inspire 2.0 esc should be here by Thursday, I hope!!
Also hope to have a Speed Passion GT 2.0 esc replaced in the next seven days!!!

FZRC (Sarasota)
First Saturday race ever!!! :-)
Picked up a Speed Passion GT 2.0 esc installed it in the T4 tested fine Thursday night, as I turned it on today it SMOKED!!!! :-(
Raced the SC10 today missed TQ by 3 seconds in Mod SC class. Was in 1st by mid 1st lap, 2nd at the line. 1st at the line on lap two, got passed as I hit a pipe and NEVER got closer than 6-8 foot to 1st after that. At the seven minute mark 3rd got by as I tried to pass 8th, 9th and hit a pipe!!!!!!
===
In one year have had 5 esc's die!!!!! NOT a good thing!!!!
2 - Castle Sidewinder SCT = $100
1 - Novak GTB = $40
1 - Novak Havoc Pro SC = $50
1 - Speed Passion GT 2.0 = $60
NOT A HAPPY CAMPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Installed the Castle Sidewinder esc and 4600 motor in the Losi XXX-SCT, reason for this is the Speed Passion GT1.1 esc and Novak 13.5 motor isn't POWERFUL enough at FZRC! They where GREAT as a test last Sunday at FZRC, now for POWER!!!! :-)
Installed the Speed Passion GT1.1 esc and Novak 13.5 motor in the SC10, may change the motor to a Fantom 17.5 to better fit Stock SC class, there were TWO adults in Stock SC last Sunday at FZRC.

SC10
Was sweet, KINDA!!!! FZRC track crew put calcium on the track surface Sat night AND the track surface wasn't ready at 8:15am when I put the SC10 on the track for a test!
Needed some SUN to burn (dry) the surface in.
Planned to race the SC10 in the first qual and the XXX-SCT in the second qual then race the best in a main.
Parked the SC10 before the qual's!!!!!!!
XXX-SCT
Remember I removed the Losi trans and installed a Associated trans.
TESTING was GREAT! Adjusted the front and rear camber, moved some weight from the front to the rear. Found a set of Proline Calibers (M4 rubber compound)that I had "Sauced" with belt dressing. The XXX-SCT was the MOST neutral handling RC I have ever drove!!!!
It took me 3 minutes of the 2nd qual to see how hard I could drive it, missed the A-main by 7 sec. So I TQ'd the B-main and lead for 4 of the 6 minutes. I was passed just a lap AFTER I passed 3rd, so I knew I would bump up to the A-main.
Started the A-main in 10th, was in 4th at the 6th corner of the first lap when 5th - 8th ran over me coming out of 6th!!!! Crossed the timing line in 9th and it took 10th five minutes to catch and pass me! :-)
===
Team Holly Rollers member Scott and I have been trying to meet for about four months. On the drivers stand waiting to start the 2nd qual another racer (Jeff) introduced himself and Scott was standing next to him. I didn't know Scott was there and he didn't know I was there until then.
As I was restocking Scott's supply of THR stickers, he told me about Jeff. :-) Scott has been showing the LOVE of Jesus with Jeff and he is now back in church, where Dad go's so does the family!!! :-) As I was talking with Jeff his son, Corey, came up to use, I know Corey as we have raced each other in Stadium Truck and SC. Jeff asked how he could be a part of THR. I carry a copy of the 7? and a bag of stickers with me when I go to a track to race. When Jeff asked what stickers Corey wanted on his RC's, he said GREEN AND it was about time they where members!!!
