Glued up some fresh tires but wanted to try out some Vector rears which didn't work well for the conditions in round one.

Found out the shop had big bores in stock so built those just in time for round one also. Noticed a huge difference in landings and take-offs. For the better.

Round two glued up HB Beams in Pink, squared the car up, set ride height, and ended up with a 2nd place qualifier behind our local pro. Yeah!!

For round three I had issues. I thought my diff had fully broken in. The car was like, stopping and half spinning out when coming out of corners. So I tightened the diff slightly and went back for some practice before the main. Realized my"ol reliable motor' was making the dreaded dripped rotor noise. So I switched for another and was ready for the main.

Before the main I tried out the shaved rear brace/C-hub setup and it was good. Started the main and was doing well till a couple laps in and suddenly the car felt terrible like in round three. And I just couldn't put the car where I wanted. Then I started noticing the motor was making the same noise I heard earlier. So I'm assuming the sensor port is bad on my ESC. Dang it.

I know feel bad for starting this year with a different brand of car. LoL. The B4 is flat hooked up for me and puts down fast lap times. McLoving it, ha ha ha.
