3/5/10

Last Sunday (2/28/10), didn't race so good! Had some DUMB idea to try the stock/manual setup for the SC10 <<< DUMB, DUMB AND DUMBER!!!!! Would not turn, the rear would swing around under power and flip around under braking!!!!

After the first qualifier, I started putting 2/21/10 setup on the SC10. MUCH better for the 2nd qualifier BUT still not right! But did qualify 6th out of 10. I was in 3rd on lap 3 when a 4wd truck hit me at full power going into a turn, blew the servo link into three pieces!!! Was down 3 laps by the time I got the part replaced. Got one lap back, missed a another by 6.4 sec's!!!! Which would have moved me from 10th to 8th!!

When I checked the SC10 Monday I found that I had forgot about the front c-hub change!!! Took the 25 degree off and installed the 30 degree hubs, this should fix the handling problem.

The ProLine Caliber tires where in the mail box Wednesday, have them mounted on a set of JConcepts Rulux rims. Front and rear SC10 body mount came today (Friday) have those installed, new 5000 lipo is charged so LETS RACE!!!!

Traded a HPI Firestorm gas truck for a Losi XXXT for "Make a RC Wish" have put a chassis extender on with Short Course body mounts, hope to test it Saturday before racing begins.
