There was one jump in front of the drivers stand, to a table top landing area, that required you to get a long run to clear the gap. I think either one of those changes would have helped.
Overall, I finished building the truck at the track on Friday and got two practice runs with it by the end of the day. I ended up qualifying 7th out of 40+ trucks and finished 4th in the 7 minute main. My times were right there with the leaders but I was not consistent enough.
I will post my setup in a day or two but my electronic layout is as follows, servo, receiver, square pack, speed control running rear motor. With that layout and a Pro-Line body, with a lot of paint on it, I was 100 grams overweight.
good job with the sc6. would like to see your setup, too. just curious, what advantages did you see with the square pack? thanks
