It was a lot of fun Sunday, I got to meet Tex and see Chris again, and it took awhile before I realized the girl I was talking to was from St. Louis. To bad her truck wasen't running it would have been cool to see her out there racing. She said she's taken trophies home before.

Sorry for that one guy (forget your screen name) that did not get his transponder during that first qualifier, hopefully next time will go better.

Next time I see ya at the track rc dad, I'm helping you with your alignment (toe/camber) and I'm putting a set of my tires on your truck for you to try for a heat (or the whole day)

You would do sooooo much better with a truck that was setup right. Right now you can't help but be all over the place because of your settings. We'll fix that.

Thanks, hopefully my truggy will be ready next time we meet. It has dirt bonez. I was hoping to catch Tune at the track some day, I think the Savage could use some of his expertise.

I meant with tuning, I think the k4.6 could use some expert tweaks.

Like I said early had a ball.

I just wish they ran all the lowers first then the a mains. Reason being I came in second in the B main, so I won a bump spot. But I had to contiinue running because the A was right afterwards, so I came into the pits and to refuel to start the next race and my truck died, the clutch was toasted.

Now I know its my fault the clutch toasted, but you feel good that you got the bump up the A and then you cant run, because you had no time to check things over.

Like I said this is not a complaint just an observation. Next time I will just qualify for the A main. LOL

A good observation, too. I wondered the same thing the one and only time we raced. The A qualifiers are all tuned up and batt's charged and here come the bump-ups limping right into another race. I guess it's gas it up and pray they all crash or break.

a good battery pack and you can go all day running non stop for only 25 bucks. I gots me a 2600mah battery and i charge it after about 3 races. Im also using airtronics servo's so there not digital and im sure that helps me some as well.
