The gate guy must be worry about ICAC. Was it a black F550?

I ran Stock and only managed 1.5 pack yesterday , too many oil chicken!
Well, the car with the original motor was slower than my 1/18!! Too slow to make any impressions.
I don't know if it was me, the diff (F/R) came loose after half a pack . I normall build my diff so the just about to slip. But in this case it need tighter diff settings or it can work loose!!
The original tires were ok in the sunny afternoon (with the original motor) but it loose traction at night when it was cooler.
Conclusion...Too slow! with the original set up.

Will try, dtm got me a 23T yokomo when he was in Japan.
Any way, the normal can size is easier to remove and install in the car than the Longer (Tamiya 540) motors. It is very difficalt to remove the original motor

If he would have made it through I would have gone an 'pee' on his bonnet...I hate people who think that simply because they have money they can get away with anything!!!!!!
