Had a good time racing yesterday, really wish I could have put down better laps with my mod buggy but I was happy overall. Thanks for everyone that came out to race, was great to see 7 entries in the sportman class, made for some entertaining racing.

Also, thank you for the no vaping rule inside. Like I told the guys at the track, I like Fruity Pebbles as much as the next guy but that doesn't mean I want to walk around all day with my head in a box of them.

Xray XB2 on Astro. I'll be torn when this gets released, I'm having good luck with my B5m lately but I'd still want to try this when it comes out. FYI, that's a 9 year old driving.

Yesterday was a lot of fun.

It was good to know that I could keep up with Mark in 4wd buggy. One of these days, I'll get him 17.5 Buggy was a solid race with Steve and Will. The qualifying times were super close, and it was anybody's race. Will's RB6 is a seriously dangerous machine. It is great to see Stadium Truck back on the rise. This seems to happen every year, and it will be interesting to see how the new mid-motor trucks handle outdoors.

I will start building the Tekno EB48SL soon. I have other stuff on my workbench that I'm working through right now, and I want to get that out of the way first.

Just finished my SCT410.3 build. 2047g vs. 2175g less body and tires for those of you concerned about weight. I'll take a 5.9% weight reduction any day I can get it on a race vehicle. A good chunk of that weight reduction falls into either the rotational or unsprung weight categories. Looking forward to the maiden voyage this weekend.

Started putting the EB48 SL together. So far so good, but I will say the turnbuckles are a royal pain in the @$$.

Hit the ball cups with a body reamer. Just a bit to make entry easier (giggity). A little black grease helps too.

The new straight ends on the camber links were the most difficult. I guess I don't have to worry too much about them pulling out (giggity, giggity!).

4th Tekno build for me, all have been pretty much flawless.

Does anyone have the link to the epic1 designs chassis protector install video?

I've been looking for it on YouTube for a while now with no luck.
