Farmers track was it's SWEET, High (damp) traction!!! After a problem with a new motor system that killed my Core-RC Lipo battery during the first qualifier. I put the "old" Speed Passion 13.5 brushless motor system back in the T4 with a CHEAP Hong Kong (HK) lipo battery. TQ'd for the 8 minute main, 11 laps later in the main, WINNER!!!! 1st after lapping all the other stadium trucks!!!
The HK lipo isn't as powerful as the Core-RC lipo BUT :-) a win is a win!!!
===
Waiting answer back on warranty on the "new" motor system and lipo battery!!

Tues 5/26/09
Tried to race Fri night 5/22 RAINED!!!!
Tried to race Sat afternoon 5/23 RAINED!!!!
===
Put the "new" carb on the Dynamite 12Spd in the "FUN" GT2. It won't TUNE!!!!!!!
SO I did the SMART thing! Walked away! Came back after an hour, tuned right in!!!
Tossed the manual and went by how it sounded and responded! After running a tank of 25% (nitro) Byrons fuel through the "FUN" GT2, the engine temped at 208 degrees. Didn't have a body on it so that maybe a false reading. BUT it should be close enough for now. Was going to have some "FUN" with the GT2 tonight BUT IT RAINED!!!!!!!!!

Tues 5/19
Needed a play around FUN kinda RC to just have fun with, RACING can NOT be fun at times!!!! Also, trimming the flowers for my wife JUST DOESN"T DO IT!!!!
Have a extra GT2 that I had just got the engine broken in. So I put a soft race setup on it (old race tires). Ordered a new carb cause the old one wouldn't tune!!! The tune problem was ME, I was going the wrong way with the high speed screw!
PLUS I still have the body mounts for the Slash body :-)

FRI 15/09
NO Racn' for me have a wedding Sat evening, on the beach!!!!
===
Getting the GT2 ready for next Fri at Farmers, I noticed I still had the 3/16 "Up" stops on the front shocks from when I had the Slash body on the GT2. The "up" stops are the reason for the nosing over I was having last week at Farmers.
===
Have all the "Strength" up grades done to the T4. A lot of gas truck bits!!!!

Farmers 5/8/09
Qual'd 3rd in Ele Stadium Truck with the GT2 nitro truck, finished 4th! Not to bad with the track going away in places. Had a problem with the GT2 nosing under going over jumps!! Everything is the same as the last time I raced it! It maybe that I'm driving it like the T4 and backing off to soon coming off the jumps!

Left before I got the results for the Mod Slash class. I was racing a "New" car, I had a old T4 chassis, cut it into two parts and put a 1 inch piece of aluminum in to connect the two parts. This gave me a "SC10" style chassis. Worked VERY well, to bad some of the Mod Slash drivers can't hold there line. I was in 2nd half way through turn one at the start, 3rd 2/3 through that turn, LAST by the end of that turn!!!! Every other lap I was t-boned at that turn!!!!!!
When I get the Mod Slash results will update this post.
