NewRed (Ocala, FL)
Added a new track to my repertory!!!
The MOST technical track I've ever raced on!
===
Losi XXX-SCT
First time on a "Tec" track and the Losi wasn't doing the job! BUT, I was signed up for 17.5 SC class and wasn't going to change the SC10 to 17.5
Track wasn't "Blue Groove" but was HIGH traction, had way to much turning. Motor had to much heat and no power. Was just right last Sat at FZRC, a diff day and a diff track! :-)
Moved the front shock tops out a hole and re-timed the motor to 0 degrees. By the end of the 2nd qual I was in 8th. Waiting for my A-main, I decided to move the front hubs down one washer (.030 thick), was looking at the motor and noticed that I had timed the motor to the - side of center a week ago!!!! Set the timing to +10 and NOW the power is there and after 6 minute A-main the temp was 146! <<<< that temp is just SWEEEET!!!
With the front change and the NEW power it took three laps to learn how to drive the Losi. Only 1st and 2nd got by me!!! Started 8th finished 7th NOT bad for racn' on a new track with it's new demands!!
