I finished 1st and my fellow team mates took out 3rd and 8th places, great victory for Team C against very strong field of drivers.

Hi Guys,

I have been thinking we need a 3D printer to make an exhaust outlet and attach to the GT bodies this will allow the exhaust oil leave the car without affecting the handling by going on to the rear left tyre, perhaps a combo of plastic and metal (Electric 500 size Heli Boom - metal) what do you think

Hi! Problem with hard materials like that is that it bends the pipe on hard impacts. I use plumbing rubber...

Hi guys practiced with the car sat and Sunday. Car is really fast, the gear conversion kit is a huge improvement. Strongly recommended, puts the gearing of the car in the same ballpark as the competition.

After a few tanks in a row the center cvds were hot but not more than reasonable, nothing unusual. The bulkheads were fine, barely warm.
Ran about a gallon through the car between yesterday and today.

That's good. I get my new diff gears in a couple of days.
