Wow, I'm just back from our first race of the season here in the south of germany.
After the quali, place 1-4 + 10 + 13 are NT1. Then I managed to bump up from 13 to place 6 in the final. The other NT1 had a little problem with his engine and didn't bump. So in the final it was a clear 1-2 victory for Team Xray and also we got place 4, 6 and 9. Also we broke the best time of the track and were about 1 second faster than last year. |

I would think, that anyone that usually makes the A Main would do the same or better with the NT1 when compared to their previous car. In the group that made the A Main, was there anyone that did did significantly better than usual? Also, do you know what engines #1 and #2 were using? Vielen Dank! :) |
The winner was Robert Pietsch who was in the Main of the 1/8 Worlds 2 year ago. He was the only NT1 driver who used a novarossi team engine (don't know which exactly), all other used a MH-modified Rex LR3 engines.
The guy who did place 2 was a professional electro driver and place 4 was Michael Heinrich (MH) himself. Place 6 was me and place 9 another professional electro driver who had problems with his motor. I would consider myself as a medium driver (have only 4 years of driving experience) but the car (I have received it only 3 days before the race - it wasn't a kit car but a display one from nuremberg toy fair) was very easy to drive and the team work was also great. We arrived at friday to test the car. Within a few tanks we set up the clutch and then drove with the stock setup. Wow, nearly the time of the last years race when I TQ'ed. Then we adopt the setup of an electro driver who had his car for nearly a month and had some experience with it at the Nuremberg track. Since then I could constantly drove faster times than the year before. Some faults of me (e.g. forgot to check the rear anti roll bar linkage, so it blocked at a very high downstop value) and a servo failure prevented me from doing better in qualifying and I had to drive the 1/2 final. There I fighted with Christoph Pietsch and Dirk Stammler (both very experienced and good drivers) even though I had no brakes cause I hadn't any brakes (changed throttle servo and forgot to try the brakes :( ). In the end I could bump up with only 8 seconds to Christoph. Then in the final my engine was too rich and I also was very conservative with my tires, so I couldn't push in the first minutes and in the end I could push very hard but the gap was just to big. But I had to say the car performed very well from the first meters on. It was box-stock only used titanium screws and lighter pivot-balls from my previous car the 720. One addition: Link to the time list of the finals NT 1 drivers in the final: Thomas Günsel, Michael Heinrich, Dirk Wischnewski, Robert Pietsch, Sebastian Feller MTX4: Dirk Stammler RRR: Mark Pearson 720: Klaus Lechner, Manuel Dietrich GPX4: Christoph Pietsch our sixth driver: Sebastian Eder (drove the car from our importer and was from the first meters faster than with his MTX4 before and he is a medium driver as I; didn't managed to bump up because he had a flame out) |

Just got my NT1 and am building as we speak, beautiful car..beautiful! ;)

I just put in a pre-order with Nexus Racing! I've been racing electric touring so this is my first GP car. The LHS stocks limited xray spares and I'm sure it will be a while before they get anything in.
What spare parts would you guys suggest I pick up? |
Well, I had some traction roll-overs and also some cars which drove into mine and nothing failed.
So I really don't know which part you should stock. I would opt for some pinion gears and some spurs because you always need them to set up your car for other tracks. Eventually wishbones would be an idea. |

Thanks, Addicted. Spur gears, check. I guess we'll just have to see what breaks.
What do you Serpent, Kyosho and Mugen racers stock? |
