Qualified 7th in B main car was on rails after some laps i was able to get into 3rd position which was a great for me, mind you im running the Idm Picco Daniel lelasi tuned 12 ,with that i was making 5min with no problem where the newer generation 12 could maybe make 4:30 as far as runtime ,well after pit stops I took over the lead and was in the bump position, where I had the bump position locked to make the A final ,mind you this was my 3rd in over 10 years, well bad news was came fast on lap 37 the rod went, rookie mistake on my part,I noticed the engine was getting faster normal , i able to run with 8th scale down the back straight ,and when Picco gets faster then normal, then the rod needs to be inspected and changed well I did neither ,but all in all the car performance was incredible being the only Kyosho and all plastic car ,and yes i was running a locked front diff aka jb weld filled, on 40/42. The setup i ran with the help of Chris Tosolini ,setup was on point didn't have touch the car ,and the clutch was setup by Diatta ,and tune was done with help on Jerry G, tires were Hotrace white rims,I will doing the Winternats in February but I will post my setup soon.ps any have any r4s they are wanting to get rid let know thanks.
