Friday Results

Installed my Tbone racing bumpers and also got my diff rebuild kit from Paisley, and my mechanic Terrance installed it. First Qualifier was going good until my turn arm disconnected, I snapped it back on and kept going.
After the race had to readjust the servo screw, and Terrance adjusted the diff. This proved bad in the 2nd qualifier, the truck had no power and I somehow lost 4 screws that were holding my front bumper on.

After the 2nd qualifier the diff was readjusted and the bumper rettached. Thinking all was well I waited for the main race.

Went to check in and my truck had no movement. With a quick fix terrance got it running in just the knick of time, but it was not a full fix. The truck moved but slowly, only had to finish one lap to score points for the series. Well would you believe it, it made the 1st lap, and even finished the race. I went slow and steady, had some trouble going up hills, but the turn marshals helped push it up. 6 people started the race, but only 3 were still running when the race was over. Monkey was still going!!!!

Before you buy new RC

Check your box of parts before you buy a new car or truck. I bought a roller for parts, and found a shoe box of old parts and it had the part I needed inside of it!

So we now have 2 duratrax evader bx electric buggies for racing, and 2 duratrax evader st electric stadium trucks.

Saturday Results

Came in last place in the main race, was the first race in the winter series I was able to compete in the buggy class.

Fred loaned me a more powerful battery in the main race, but the rear end had no traction at all, even after I changed tires before the main race.

Now standing in 6th place in the winter series for buggy.

Friday Results

Ran the Electric Stadium Truck. My mechanic in the pits, got it up and running just in time!!
After finding an electrical issue, switched everything over to DEANS plugs and was going good until the battery kept disconnecting. Did not finish the race but got 1 or 2 laps completed. Still in 3rd place in the winter series somehow!!!!

Helpful RC tips

When you clean your tires in a bucket of water, make sure you some how dry them off so 2 days later when mounting them, water does not pour out of them.
