I'm just back from my 2nd 12th scale race, it finished at 11pm and was one of the most fun race nights I've had. I rebuilt my diff and damper the day before with really soft syrup but the biggest difference was the servo, I had to get a new one so I got a Hitec 225 MG, it's all I need as a beginner
Basically after a slow (careful) first round, a second round where the screw came out of the servo saver I did a 50 lap final round and got 4th on the A-final grid (including several crashes)
The final was even better, I managed to do some very quick laps and ended up in third place with 53 laps (1+2 had 54s)
I like this type of racing, the length and the precision seems to suit my driving style That was the last warm-up race, the season starts in 2 weeks and I'm really looking forward to it
I hope it'll improve my driving in other classes
