Well, it was my first time racing my 710. My first time racing nitro !!
(no more mini-z for me hehe)

So I got to the track at 11am, and I began to fix the lower A-arm I broke on practice. I noticed that my rims had a very slight bend and was damaging the knuckles (do you guys have this problem too?)

so I bought new tires for the front and I was ready to race. My first qualifier was good, I ran out of fuel two laps before the end of the race just like everyone else, we took toooo long to take off, but it was a good "practice round" I flipped once by hittin a wall thanks to the famous push coming out of the corners the 710 has.

I must say it was anoying at time, but it was manageble for the most part. I just has to slow it down a bit. (I will play with the roll center in the front next time - I will lower it and keep the rear normal)

The second qualifier was awseome, I qualified 3rd for the main, main B. I had no accident I dont think, but at the end my car was sliding because I manages to loose a rear spring tensioner cup (the piece that hold the spring from the bottom) I just fought the push and drift.

By the time the main came around, I changed springs but I did not have time to play with the anti roll bar in the rear wich could have helped my alot with the put problem as a quick fix. I took a practice lap and crashed an my left nuckle came off from the bottom pivot ball. I did not get to start on time, I got on the track 3 seconds behind. I managed to get up to the first for a while. I came in to fuel twice. Then I had to bring the car is for a quick check up and while my pit guys was looking at it quickly, the car shut off. I decided to take it off the race for a few minutes. I fixed some wires quickly and got back to race, by this time I was in fourth possition. I began to gain up in people passed a few cars trying to get back to my possition, then after a turn my LEFT tyre came loose....

and that was the end of my main B racing. the main continued for a nother 4 mins or so, but I have had my fun already. I was told to used thread lock on the wheels?? (any comments?)

I am concerned that my car didnt track straight after I changed the bent rim and had to play with the trim 40R for it to drive straing whereas before it drove straight at -0-

do you guys think that I may have messed up the servo , or do you think the knuckles need to be changed sinde the tyres has bubbed into them an made indentations? I posted a picture of this yesterday please take a look at it.

Attache is my car before the race, - not it does look as pretty haha. some of my body is missing in the front. - I was told not to fall in love with the bodies.

a friend of mine brought out a new Maza 6, just painted. by the end of the day hi body looked a couple of weeks old. paint missing and everything.


cheers! I cant wait till sunday again this hobby kicks ass !
