3. Ryan never made any big errors that Ty could capitalize on. There was no pace to pass on that track unless the guy in front made a mistake without driving through him.
4. There are no "send it" big air jumps on that track. If you are running this truck at WCRC or TCRC or even Exeter Hobbies in its current configuration and having trouble with the jumps, it's the driver (and his/her technique) to blame.
5. Did I mention Ryan is superhuman? That guy can wheel a shoebox. He isn't getting enough credit in this equation IMO, the truck is getting too much.
I only watched the 1st main in the video. My thoughts.....
1. Track is exactly what the sc104x4 was built for, smooth indoors have never been a problem. Big, rough, outdoors is the problem.
2. Tessman looked faster to me than Ryan. Looked like Tessman was running around %80.
3. If Tessman would've started out front, he would have checked out.
