Won our club's spec TT-02 with my SRX 21.5T blinky with spec 4.7 FDR during our annual Nationals event this past weekend.
Things I've learned.
- I blew the front spool output cups...TWICE in Q1 (at the end) and Q2 (mid-way), essentially limping on 3 wheels. Ended up going to my backup XV-02 diff with 30K oil for the front for Q3 and nailed P1, but I didn't get TQ due to issues with my diff/tires in the previous two qualifiers.
- The soon-to-be spec SWEEP D-36 treaded tires with spoked wheels were terrible with the soft pink foams (#2402) as the car was just inconsistent and squirming, esp in 103°F weather and heavy chassis (1.6kg with body). Swapped back to the Tamiya B3 tires with the green Medium inserts and shaved off 1.5 seconds off my time in Q3 to get me into P1 and eventually winning the Main.
- My car is heavy at over 1.6kg with the body on on a 21.5T spec motor with all the plastic and aluminum bits
