GT2-E

Hoped to race the GT2-E but I was the only ST there! :-(

Did drive the GT2-E for about half a battery, drove GREAT!!!!

SC10

The HB Magabites just didn't work well on the sandy track! BUT did TQ the first qual! :-)

Also TQ'd the 3rd qual but they weren't enough for the A main TQ!!!

Go at the tone, with JC Double D's on the front and PL M3 Calibers on the rear. Was about ten foot behind 1st at the 5 minute mark of the 7 minute main. When I HIT a pipe and removed the left front tire from the a-arm., finished the last minute of the main as a 3 wheel Short Course truck! :-) Went from 2nd to 7th.

Stopped by Yuper's track on my way home, Yupers moved to a different location and I had not had the opportunity to see or race the track. They have a well STOCKED hobby shop!!

Read a posting on R/C Tech forum about doing a Electric conversion to a Losi XXXNT. This got my mind working! :-)

After about an hour of checking parts and placement, came up with a plan >> RC10GT2-E.

Need these

Motor mount >> bit from work
Motor >> Castle 4600
ESC >> Speed Passion Cirtix Inspir 2.0 90 amp
Batteries >> Turnigy 5.1 65-130c X 2

Thread about the build is here http://www.rcten.com/threads/rc10gt-e.4185/

FZRC (Sarasota, FL)

Did some testing of the GT2-E, one battery worth. Started with worn PL edges front and worn PL Step Pin rear. Was surprised on how well these hooked up! Truck has good speed and turns way better than the T4 that I have been racing!! Jumps just flat, I mean FLAT!!! Motor temps after 7 hard laps 130, may gear it up!!!

Just as I was going to ask another racer to operate my camera I hit a pipe, this caused the rear battery mount bolt to pull through it's mount! :-( Maybe I can get someone to do some filming 5/19/2013 during a qual or the main for me.

May is a NEW month, hoping that it will be a GOOD race month.

FZRC (Sarasota, FL)

Duratrax SC

Still testing, hoping to race a qual this month.

Changed the rear link mount at the wheel hub. Moved the link out one hole, slowed the steering (had WAY to much steering) to the point I need to put race level tires on for the next test.

SC10

Was able to TQ the first qual, but was bettered by one lap in the 2nd qual so I'll start from 2nd. Go at the tone Justin and I traded places for four laps before I touched a pipe and he drove away!!! Finished 2nd just like I started.

T4

After all the racn' was done got the T4 out to do some testing for the next series race in two weeks. GLAD I did, pinion came loose two times AND the right dog bone broke off the axle.

Both of this bits can NOT happen in two weeks!!!
