We had our clubs 3 hour Enduro race on Sunday - what a hoot !!
It was hot and dry, with the track being super dusty.
Our team (Team X-Ray-ted) finished a ways down the honours list, but the 4 of us had a great day. We had to bow to more experianced and better drivers, plus a track that definitly suited the truggy teams a lot more than the buggy teams. It got very dusty and bumpy, making the buggy a bit of a handfull over the last couple of hours.
For an Enduro event it was an incredibly close finish. 1st and 2nd place were seperated by only 20 seconds after 3 hours and 214 laps of racing - incredible.
Highlights for me were the fact that the GX-3R in my buggy performed flawlessly all day, never missing a beat. Also, two of the truggies in the winning team were powered by GX-5R's ;)

well gone grizz ... the enduro events are always a blast :D

this weekend for me was nothing but dramas the first to races were faultless then the following 4 nothing but dramas oh well until 2010 will be a hoot :D

Well in a nightmare 2 week holiday visiting the family up in Sydney, which involved the Navarra overheating every time i went up a hill on the drive from Melb to Syd.... head had to be skimmed, 5 valves replaced, new radiatior, new alternator belt, new thermostat...... lots of fun!

I did however get a chance to pull apart the 7 port after my troubles with the carb coming loose a while back, turns out i put the bolt in on the wrong side, as i had reassembled it in a rush so that the motor wasnt sitting open :blush: my bad, wont be doing that again lol.
Got that sorted and took it to the track, loving the car and the motor! Ran really well, but i had to hold back on the tuning as the motor is still a few litres off being able to put a race tune on it. Still heaps of power and speed, so should go like a rocket once it loosens up. Looking forward to getting some more track time hopefully sooner rather than later.

grizz1 12-20-2009 08:23 PM

Jeez - bummer with the Navarra, but all smiles with the 7 Port. Just wait until it loosens up fully. You will be a happy camper :)

Dont worry i was very happy with it, and im really looking forward to it loosening up, whether i can even make use of the power will be another story :lol:. Might go to a smaller carb restrictor (stock one atm) once it loosens fully.

6.5 restrictor and you will have power to burn plus good economy.
3 x 1.1mm springs or 2 x 1.1mm and 1 x 1mm springs and 3 x alloys - nice combo on the 7 Port.

CMB21 12-21-2009 05:43 PM

What springs come stock with an RC8B??? lol well whatever they are thats what i have on, and the metal shoes that come in the kit.

Will need to check up on the clutch, and i will definately try the 6.5mm restrictor as suggested. :)

Must just make sure i dont have the carb screw in the wrong :p such an idiot lol

mattwoodcraft 12-22-2009 12:38 AM
