I don't really know how the 4wd guys were doing as far as times and laps.

Everyone starts in the front straight away, then a pipe is laid down after everyone takes off, you go around the big sweeper, over the table top, like before.
I was wondering how everyone was going to fit on what was left of the straight. Anyways since your truck times are close to my buggy times it looks like I will be adding about 3 seconds a lap. Looking at it this morning I was figuring I would be around the 19 second range. Looking forward to trying it out on wednesday. Probably will put back in the 10.5 too.

I drew a picture of the new layout on MS paint.

The scale might be off a tad, but you get the Idea, GET OFF MY CASE!!!!

On my second Qual. I forgot to turn right after the second sweeper and shot down the straight and went over the 1" pvc barrier.

I was in 2nd place and dropped to 4th for that douhhh mistake

DON't Forget to turn guys

Yeah I was at the track Saturday, just watching though. Maybe I'll race next week or so. I have to chanceg the motor in my B44. I'm running a Velocity 6.5R , I don't think I can gear it down enough for that track.

What might be a good KV motor to run in a 4wd buggy at the track? It's alot smaller than I'm used to so I have to kinda start all over!

Hey HDMN,

You can alway turn down the EPA on your radio, I run a 5.5 velociti on my truck and turned the EPA down to 70%.

You can turn the EPA down on the 6.5.

Just an Idea if you have EPA adjustment.

I could give that a try, I did'nt think of that. I'm running a Spektrum DX2.0 so I can adjust EPA

Bill, It was good running with you sir, it's always fun to run the truck guys.

HDMN,

Give it a try before you buy a new motor.
I was in the same boat, and just tried it and it worked.

Fast/Truck/New Layout it's not quite a good combo

Slow and Steady is more like it

The truck class is growing I like it!!!

I was dissapointed that there was barely a 2wd class, only 4 cars.
