Last race I made it out to I ran LiPo for the first time. Reedy 5000 mAH 20C Pro. Had some nice long practice sessions. At this point for me track time is more valuable than setup tweaking. I just had to remind myself to park it in the pits once in a while to make sure the wheels weren't falling off due to wheel nuts coming loose on long runs. Once I got rid of those aluminum rear hub carriers I could run without breaking rear ballstuds.
I ordered some T-Bone bumpers last week. I'm mostly interested in the protection it will provide for the motor. I'm landing off the jumps much better lately but there is still that occaisonal tail-ender that could be bad news for the spur gear or even worse the brushless motor itself. Plus practicing with those heavy 1/8 buggies and truggies on the track at the same time calls for added protection.
