hopefully the next time u will be able to stay with me i know before u were way ahead of me
and talk to your dad about doing that buzzer thing with your controler that way u can tell when your under power and when your not i am sure it will help and u would be able to turn it down more and more untill u get the hang of eletric buggy

Yeah man, still super rusty. I finally got the right set of tires and had a descent practice day. I'm suppose to be getting my RV this week so I'll be able to show up early and have a full out race day. What's the average lap times for buggy? My fastest yesterday was a 29.8

well before the new timing i had it with a 28.6 or something that was with my other engine should be getting it back today but thats nitro buggy wait till gino and efren get over there

Yeah I hear efren and Gino are pretty quick!

Once again, sorry I missed last weekend. I was just worn out with the Hal's point series and needed a break. I am currently working on my cars, adding upgrades, etc, so hopefully we'll see you all next time. Corbyn, glad to see you back at it. I've missed you and your pop out there at the other races. See you all soon.

How did you do in the points series? Looking forward to racing with you!

I won the 4x4 SC. A close second in 8th Scale Electric Buggy. Second again in 2WD SC. I started the points series late in 2wd. I think I started on the 4th points race, so I felt pretty good about making my way all the way up to second place. I lost the overall points by 10 points! I made a terrible decision on my SC 4X4 for the main. I"ve been running a 15 tooth pinion on my Losi for the entire season with no problems. As the temps have been rising, I've noticed my motor temps have been entering the harmful zone. During the heat I came in at 200! Wayyyyy tooo hot, so I decided to change the gear and I went with a 13, and it literrally changed the entire set up on my truck. It changed so badly that I had a lot of trouble with it. I held on for second. I TQ'd and should've just left it alone I guess. I'll have to do some motor repair because I'm sure the rotor, stator, and sensor is messed up. Needless to say, it was probably a bad choice, but it was in an effort to make certain I'd finish the main.

You should really consider a 4x4 SC truck in the near future. The classes are 25-30 cars strong at some of the local events.

Awesome! Congrats! Very Happy

Yeah I'm thinking about getting one, but for now im going stick with one class. Ive always been a 1/8th scale kind of guy anyway lol
