Road trip to THE ROCK PILE in Madison!!!
#8
Very nice track. Very technical too (at least for me). Buggy wasn't ready, so I took out my new revo to race for the first time. When I got there, I only had 10 tanks run through my revo. First heat I stalled out and couldn't get it restarted . Kevin help me discover than my mess was too tight and the slipper was a little too loose. Fixed that up and did a little tuning. The truck was running much nicer. Heat 2 comes up and I stall after a bad crash. Started back up right away and continues. 1 lap later crashed it again and it stalled again. This time I also noticed that the motor was a tad too hot (rich told me as he handed me the truck). I temped it at 290 and this is after it had already been shut down for at least a minute. Took while to get the truck back since it was all the way on the other side of the track when I crashed. I richened it up a tad on the high side and head out for heat 3. I got an early start to warm up (monster trucks were the first heat) which was apparantly too early since I ran out of gas with 2 minutes left in the heat. At least it didn't stall!! I start dead last in the main (A-main - 10 minute race) and ended up working my way up and finished 6th.

Not bad for a first time out with the revo. I've still got to learn to drive it, and I need better dirt tires for sure.

Sorry for the long post, but this is the first time in a VERY long time that I actually finished a main with the motor running the whole time and no parts breakage. I'm a tad excited Smile.
