The servo horn mod was a success!!! I would say about an hour of total battling between ( practice, qualy's, and the 35 min. Main). I don't think it was premature considering it was also 96 degrees, no wind, and 100% humidity!!! Servo's were dialed, weren't hot at all to the touch... My car felt great in qualifying, in the main I decided to go with XTR Crime Fighters. M2 Revolvers got chewed up in a 6 min. qual, and they were freshies...so the story continues... Thru the first 18 minutes, the car felt hooked up, and after that it was on to hyper donuts and just looping out :-( I can't believe once the dust started rising, Toro was out to lunch... WTF??? My friend just called me, and said "when in doubt, Caliber M2, or M3". I told him on the drivers stand, " this was a poor choice". Anywho..... I fully endorse the car, and would recommend it to anybody... Fast, slow, maybe so......
To anyone who decides to do the servo horn mod, I EMPLORE you to practice with the steering plastic horns that you may have spares of.. Meloche used a mini butane torch, and although we managed to melt some steering horns on the desk of the hotel room, (Smelled like burnt wood all night) it was worth the end result... On the first attempt at the throttle servo horn, Meloche dialed her in!!!! Pics will come later... Long drive, posting on the iPad at a Hardees... OMG... I thought this was Twitter!!! LMFAO
