Went racing on the weekend with the Regina Fastraxx RC Club. Their track is in Moose Jaw, another city just a few minutes away from them. The track is said to be 60' x 50'. It had a nice and challenging infield, that was a great driving and learning experience for me. I also had the pleasure of picking the brain of our local hotshot Danny, all about RC set-ups and driving tips on the way down, during racing and driving back home
I learnt a lot this weekend!
I'm running zero drag brake now, which is sort of nice, it allowed me to pick up consistently 1 lap on the track. Also I have just set my shocks to be zero rebound based on my learnings. Next up I'll switch over to the Sweep WCICS Spec tires. I thought best to get use to their handling and set-up my car with them if they are the typical spec tire for our races here.

I broke a C-Hub in a collision with another car. I never even notice until I pitted and was cleaning the car

Lance, a Regina club member gave me this Associated RC10L, said it needed a home! I use to race one of these back in the day!
