Mann's RC (Ruskin, FL.)
Losi XXX-S
Was a GOOD day for the Losi XXX-S. First time on this track with the 3x-s.
BUT had to work at getting the 3x-s to cleanly run. Track 's scoring is done by I-Laps (LED transponder) 3x-s has a solid window so a hole was made, then enlarged and enlarged even more and constant scoring just wasn't there!!! Mounted the I-Lap on the hood just in front of the window.
At about 8-10 laps per test the rear wouldn't stick, it would loop out under power! Tried adjusting the front and rear diffs, saucing the rear tire and not the front. Was sitting in the pits having lunch, remembered that the setup sheet I used lowered the front to 4.5mm and the rear was set at 6.0mm. Raised the front to 5.5mm and lowered the rear to 5.5mm.
Qual'd 6 of 7, about lap 8 of the 40 lap main the tires came in (got hot enough for best traction) the 3x-s hooked up and started to catch up with 1st and 2nd. Was only 5.6 sec's behind 1st on the same lap at the end!!! Not bad for a 10-12 year old RC!!!!!!
