Back slash update

At Lake Park to test back slash, may wait until its not all muddy and
rainy to do. May try a 1/8 scale gas buggy today. Need screws to mount
the wing properly.

Back Slash update

Leaving the body black with clear squares. It looks really good for my first paint job.

Back slash update

Trimmed body, painted first coat and layer black. Will have yellow
squares all over body. Rather easy to paint a body. Body fits the slash
nicely, have to trim a few items and it will be really ready to go. I am
thinking of keeping back and front bumpers to protect me from the 1/8
buggy racers.

Monkey made A main

Slash monkey qualified 7th in the A main. No b or c mains, straight A
main. Started good was in 2nd and 3rd for a while. Then broke a part
fixed it, and got back in race. Finished 7th, so I didn't finish last.

Cleaned the trucks

I cleaned the gas truck today, removed the receiver, and sprayed it down
with purple power, attempted to remove the fuel tank, wasn't as easy as
it looked so I gave up. Made sure the truck would restart, was difficult
but I think that was from 3 people using it on Friday. Found a new
easier way to start the truck. Start box, then drop truck on the motor.
Started up after a few seconds of starter box recharging.

Electric 1/8 Scale Slash

Thinking about converting my slash to 1/8 backslash.
Will cost about $66 in parts and shipping. Should be allowed to race in the 1/8 gas buggy class.

Interesting idea

I am thinking of buying 2 of those walkie talk radios. One for my car,
one for drivers stand. That way I can alert the turn marshals to flip my
car over!!

Kiss my slash

I can now chase down anyone with a lead. Brushless is the wave of the
future. Oh must have a good lipo to go with it. Just need to avoid turn
marshals, and camera guys. Heck of a mechanic I have, fixed a blown
shock before the B main race. Was catching the bump of spot before a
turn marshal kid picked up car and stared at it. Better luck not
crashing next week.

New sponsor for team super monkey

RD Electronics is our new sponsor. They pay the monkey quite well.

Farmers Friday Night Results

1st place gas truck qualifer round 1
1st place gas truck qualifier round 2

Fridays at farmers

I may be retiring from racing, or maybe just doing some relaxing. Its
really upsetting me that people can not turn marshal properly. its
really not rocket science, I just don't understand it.
