had a great weekend at clark rc park for midwest nitro series round 2!!! Started 2nd in the intermediate truggy b main ( qualifying was pretty rough for me) Easily took second in the b main to bump to the Amain. Started last in the a main and quickly found my way to 4th and then soon to the lead with 9 min to go. I had a 8sec lead when i had a shock failure that ended my race. The argus .23 and tb-1 pipe combo was perfect for clarks track! I believe i was one of the few truggys that could clear the huge triple ( although it was inconsistent, it was more then do able). To bad the shock failed, i thing i had a good chance at a top 3 for sure. Next im guna try a reducer in the carb, see what i can get for run time, well still keeping the power.

Question- I'm guna put a reducer in my Argus .23, so for running purposes wont I just have to lean the High speed needle some???? Or will I have to completly retune it ex. High speed then low speed then idle kinda thing?

What reducer are yiu gonna use. I would think a 7 would work good. I never did like the 6. If you have an alpha one it should work great. I plan on trying it out this weekend. That if I dont rain again. I been rained out the last couple of weeks.

Will I dont look good for us does it. Looks like more heavy rain. We also just got nailed today. Had to go 3 blocks down and get a trampoline back. Lost some big trees so some roads are down at the moment. And still no power to charge up yet.
