FZRC (Sarasota)
Drove the SC10 with the Leopard esc and 3300 motor for a few laps to see how well the esc/motor worked. Seemed ok, had a lot of power.

XXX-SCT
Signed up for 17.5 "Blinky" Stock SC class, hoped to do well with what I learned at Newred last week. Two laps from the finish of the 1st qual the SC started to handle badly. Found that I had broken the T-bar that holds the rear a-arms on! Didn't have a spare! :-(
Put the esc and motor from the XXX-SCT into the SC10 for the rest of the day. Motor came off the track at 200 degrees!!!! Motor temps should never be above 170. Put a different motor in for the main. Had qual'd 7th, finished 6th just 10 sec behind 5th. Motor temps 190 :-( Good thing I had ordered a new LRP X11 17.5 motor Sat.

Planning to race the Short Course King race this coming Sat at FZRC in "Blinky" 17.5 class. Hope to get the esc to BLINK the led! Have loaded the software, BUT no "Blinky"!!!!!! Only need this IF I finish in the top three.
