FIRCR (Plant City)
They moved the off road track to the front room. It's on top of the on road track. They put carpet sections down to protect the on road carpet with some SWEEET jumps!
===
Tested the Losi XXX-SCT with my main set of tires. AKA Cityblocks on the front and ProLine Calibers on the rear, WAY TO MUCH STEERING!!! Changed the fronts to ProLine Bowties and things where SWEEET!
===
Had changed the software in the Speed Passion GT2.0 LPF esc to V3 428Mod. Seemed OK, but didn't seem to be much of a improvement over the V3 508 no timing I had in it. As I was setting at pit, remembered that you have to reset your radio to the esc! BINGO!!! More POWER and SMOOTHER control!! Tested with my main set of tires. AKA Cityblocks on the front and ProLine Calibers on the rear, very smooth and QUICK!!!
===
SC10 was the SC I raced, qual'd in 2nd for the B-main, finished 4th. :-(
There was a young lady racing SC also who finished 3rd. She drove SMOOTH, never crashed <<< that means she out drove me! :-)

HMIRCR (Sarasota)
Losi XXX-SCT
Test, TEST and TEST!! Trying to get the XXX-SCT race ready with a Speed Passion GT1.1 and Speed Passion 10.5 Sportsman motor. NO speed and a LOT of push in the corners, changed the spur from a 87 to a 81 hoping the speed would show up. Helped but just not right yet!
===
AE SC10
Started the first qual in first, as I came to the timing loop/start line the last starter had not been call to start!!! Was I that fast?????? Slowed down to NOT cross the loop/line before him and as we crossed a lap later he had the fastest lap and I took the teeth of the idler gear in the trans!!!!
===
Had time to move the transponder and battery from the SC10 to the XXX-SCT to finish the first qual with 45 sec to go!!!!
2nd qual, changed the pinion gear from a 18 to a 19 MUCH better speed and less push!
The race director choose to run the track in reverse. As I came up to the wall turn I was rear ended by another racer which cause the XXX-SCT to slide side ways into the track barrier. This caused the rear axle to come in contact with the barrier and remove the left rear a-arm. The racer gave me a new a-arm.
Main
Changed the 19 to a 20 pinion WAY better!!!! BUT >>> I finished 5th in the main, my WORSE finish at HMIRCR. :-(

HMIRCR (Sarasota)
Took both SC's SC10 and XXX-SCT, hoped to carpat test the XXX-SCT.
===
XXX-SCT
Put my best 17.5 motor in the XXX-SCT with the Speed Passion GT1.1 esc. They ran 3 qual's :-) raced the XXX-SCT in the 3rd qual, would have qual'd in 5th with the results. During practice, started with 81/28 spur/pinion ended with 81/30 spur/pinion. Came off the track at 178* in the 5 minute 3rd qual.
===
SC10
The only change from the past two weeks of racn' was a set of AKA Cityblocks for front tires for todays racn'.
Had a pinion set screw come loose and take the teeth off the spur. :-( This put me in 7th qual place, in the first qual. 2nd qual was able to clear everyone and run to finish 1st which put me in the 2nd starting place for the main.
At the tone as we raced under the bridge 1st, 3rd and 4th tangled as I went by into first and stayed there for three laps. As I jumped over the triple, I landed in the middle of 4 other racers and 2nd got by as the marshals put us right. Spent the next 20 laps trying to get back around that racer. Was just a couple feet behind him at the finish tone, he on the good side of the line me on the bad! He got the extra lap and I was done!
===
The past four races have been good for me, a 3rd, 2nd, 1st and now a another 2nd. Should have put the LRP X11 7.5 motor in the SC10 a LONG time ago!!! :-)
