NEW truck!!! Converted my old RC10GT from nitro to electric. Drove will enough during practice to try a qual. Rear link pulled out of the ball cup going over the table top in the lead!! Put new ball cups on all the rear links, let's try this again the the 2nd qual. Link pulled out of the new ball cup. Seems there was a miss threading of the link, didn't thread deep enough!! ALL new links on for the main. When the links were working was able to easily out run the other racers.
Started 3rd was 2nd by turn two, was within ten foot of 1st, then touched a pipe and was a 1/4 lap back. Two laps later was about 15 foot behind 1st and touched a pipe again! Another two laps as I was trying to pass on the inside of a turn the ESC thermaled!!!!! I was done with a 4th place finish.
Leo was behind me by a point at the start of the day now I'm 6 points behind him!!!
