Tested the XXX-SCT for about five laps.
Not happy, so I parked it. Cause I wanted to race in Stock SC class.
====
SC10 :-)
Had a little push in the corners, moved 1 oz of weight from the rear to the front. That was a GREAT improvement BUT need a bit more balance in four of the seven corners.
Pulled the Blue RC Bible out of the pit box, to check on link options. I was looking for MORE forward traction coming out of a turn. Rear link mount at chassis, the base setting is one .030 washer under the ballstud. I had none!!!!! Added two per ballstud, one to get back to base setting and one to "Hopefully" get the forward traction that I was looking for. Can't go to far or I will be giving up side bite. Without side bite the rear will swing around, causing the car to lose speed and control.
The diff between no washers and 2 washers >> no washers missed TQ by 2 seconds, with 2 washers lapped ALL the other racer in the 10 minute main for a dominating 1st.
The SC10 was the most balanced EVER!!!
So, I took everything out of the SC10 and put it in the XXX-SCT for next weeks race!
Plan to race the SC10 in Mod SC class so the Castle esc and motor will go in.
