Well guys, first race with the super-hoped-up cyclone for me, short format, 3 x 8 minutes heats in groups, best timing/laps wins :

1st heat - 3rd place overal, great handling but lacks of speed on the main straight.

2nd heat - my batt came loose (first time on strap tape) ... so i abandoned.

3rd heat - was in 2nd place, but i made couple mistakes and ended 6th overal.

It was a great weekend, i won on GT Class and even when i didnt ended good on touring electric, im very very happy with the car, i already put the full graphite parts but the car still its heavier than TC5 or XRAY's.

Im preocupied with the final speed because im already on 3.94 FDR , engine its cool but still lacks just a little of final speed, thats on 13.5 brushless + nimh 6 cells on rubber/asphalt.

Here are couple pics, red car its mine :















Hope to make it better next time ...

cya !!
