HMIRCR (Sarasota,FL)
SC10
Did some setup testing. Roll bars front and rear, rear link & hub, front shock and tires.
Roll bars front, rear or both don't work on carpet.
Rear link mount shaved down .040 with rear hub mount lowered .090 <<< This worked well!!!
Front shock moved to the option top mount with the bottom move to the outer mount hole.
Proline Calibers M3 on the front 45% gone, AKA Enduro Super Soft on the rear, treated both with Simple Green during the 3 qual's. Used Trinity Red Dot tire sauce 10 minutes before the A-main.

The Race!!!
Qual'd third, was in second coming over the bridge to start lap one and stayed that way to the end!!!!

Planed to race the SC10, put the Speed Passion GT2.0 esc and the LRP X11 7.5 motor. This is the second track for the upper front shock mount test. Same results as on clay, sharp rolling through a turn, pushes if you try to power your way around a corner. Will do more race testing next week.
Do wonder if the front and rear roll bars that I installed has anything to do with the PUSH!!!! :-)
How did I do? 2nd in the B-main.

Beautiful day in Florida about 12 degrees above normal!!! Planed to race the SC10 with the Speed Passion Cirtix Inspire 2 esc and a Reedy 3300 motor.
First qual had a full set of AKA and they are just NOT hooking up! Changed to a full set of Proline Calibers M3's, these were just what I was looking for. Finished good enough for a 3rd place start in the main.
Was in 3rd after the first turn 7th after the first jump!!! 2nd by turn three and was pulling away!!! By lap 5 I had turned to close to a corner pipe and 3rd got by. :-( Finished 4th with 5th doing everything he could to catch me.

Losi XXX-SCT
With the GREAT results two weeks ago with a win in Pro2 SC class, I thought why not try this again!!!! :-)
Same motor, battery, esc, body, front tires, diff rear tires changed to Duratrax POSSE SC. Did a upgrade to captured ends on the front steering link because I was having a problem with the ball ends "popping" off.
Everything was going GREAT TQ the first qual, 2nd in the 2nd qual for a 4th starting place in the 5 minute main.
At the start of the main I seen that I would be on the outside of the turn after the bridge, powered under the bridge than backed off and turned under the wreaks on the outside of the turn! Was in 2nd for four laps and as I came up on 7th, we touched and I got the bad of it! Remember I changed to captures ends on the steering link, well don't have the servo saver part attached any more!!!! In one lap I went from 2nd to 7th and watching from the pits!!!!!!!!
Going back to ball cup link bits.

RAINED OUT!!!!!!!!!!! :-p
Marty decided to have informal race 12/31/2013 AND a "Make Up" regular race 1/1/2013.
I choose 1/1/2013, WRONG thing to do!!!!
The racers showed up 12/31/2012!!!
Had a good day of testing of the T4, SC10 and XXX-SCT.
===
Now for the bad, as IF the rain out was bad enough, been sick (Cold) the past 8 days.
Christmas Day about 4:30pm I felt a soreness coming on in my throat, when to work 12/26 sick, was sick at home the rest of the week, still a bit sick today. Had a BIG problem on the track putting turn to turn, lap after lap together. Mind wouldn't stay in gear.
To sick to race 12/30 or 12/31!!!
Should have stayed home today!!!!
