Well first race of the etruggy went well. We arrived Thursday at AMS around 9:30AM, got signed up, and got the batteries on charge. The line to get on the driver's stand ranged from 45-90min all day, but managed to get in 3 runs on the ebuggy and 1 on the truggy before they started seeding practice. Truggy felt great, a little loose in the rear, but was running stackers and most had turned to a smaller pin.

Seeding practice began, but stopped after 5 heats when the weather came in and took out the power. When it came on later that night, they did open practice till midnight, and I got one more pack in both, the etruggy on Hybrids felt solid, exceptional turn in, jumped flat, and felt for confident. Next morning, first qualifier started out really well, and was actually near the top of the heat on a 9 lap pace when with about a minute to go, sheared the pin in the rear drive shaft. With partial 2wd, started to fall back in the pack as I could not clear any of the jumps, and making it up a couple hills was a struggle.

Fixed everything for the 2nd round, though was now seeded in the B qualifier. Ran so so for the 2nd and 3rd, just making mistakes while trying to get a feel for driving a truggy. Ended up qualified 7th in the B-Main. Main started as you would expect mid-pack, roughly, and while I ranged a bit in place, made too many mistakes and ended up 8th at the end. I did get into the 32 second range fir the first time, and overall had a blast.

Setup was the same as Chicky posted, and never felt the need to make any changes to it over the weekend. Chicky's truggy looked fantastic, though he was running a little different setup then me. I think I was probably a little too heavy on the diff oil for the low traction (7/10/5 V1 diffs) but everything else felt really good.

Thanks Chicky and Joe for the help, and Steve for all of the support!
