Mann's RC (Ruskin, FL)

Losi XXX-S

Wanted to try a set of roll/sway bars BUT there wasn't any for sale anywhere I looked. Did have a picture of what they looked like, looked just like the rear set for an AE B4/T4/SC10. Put the gold on the front and the black on the rear, gold is the bigger of the two.

Reason for wanting to try a set of roll/sway bars, the XXX-S was a little twitchy on the straights. After the first qual, move the link mount on the rear roll/sway bars out 1/10 of an inch, BINGO!!!! The XXX-S was just right!! Sauced front and rear tires before each qual and main.


Go at the tone! Turn one was nosed into a pipe, rear ended by another racer << this happens!!! Was 6th out of 6 :-(. Started doing one turn at a time, one straight at a time, was up to 4th in five laps, 3rd in another two laps by half way was in 2nd, then first had a problem getting around another racer, was on him then past him by the next turn. He tried to get by me two turns later and piped it!!! Which gave me the opening to drive away with the win!!!!!

Before we left for vacation over a week ago, stopped by Mike's house and picked up another XXX-S with parts and two bodies. Need just a few (3) parts and it will be ready to race!!!
