FZRC (Sarasota)
Track was premo!!!
Ran the SC10 in the first qual, VERY NICE. Have the NEW Speed Passion GT 2.0 esc and the Novak 13.5 motor in it. Good speed and GREAT handling. Only setup change was the move of the rear shock to the top shock mount to the "0" hole.
Ran the XXX-SCT in the second qual, was surprised by how well it handled!!! The only change was the removal of the front sway bar and the installation of a rear sway bar!
Remember I was having diff gear problems and have changed to a metal diff gear, two weekends and NO diff problems. Had the Castle Sidewinder SCT esc and 4600 motor in it.
Choose to race the SC10 in the a-main, qual 9th. By turn two I was 5th, turn three I was 12th :-( By lap 4 I was in 8th, just behind 5th, 6th and 7th when we tried to pass a couple racers. Two hit me, I hit the pipe and that remove both links (steering and camber) on the right front!!! Limped around the track to where I was, seen what was wrong, walked over to my pit took some links off the T4 truck and got back into the race with 45 sec's to the finish!! Still didn't finish last, another racer broke before I did!!
