firts race with my mugen this weekend at the track i won a club race last year with almost the same car except nitro.

it was part of 1:10 electric national chaps so we used same system
4x5min qualifier - who knows how many count
3x5min main - 2count

since it was my first ever race with electric i was taking it kinda slowly. especially MGM does not brake strong enough to my liking (its sold now and RX8 frome Mike is on the way).
track was hard packed and very abrasive.
slipperential was at default setting with 17k oil (7k front, 2k rear)
my mugen has MBX6 shocks and pillow balls. BCE chassis, 2mm offset buggy hubs to make it more narrow compared to standard MBX5T

qualified 2nd with only .7s slower run

1st final - 2nd. just did not want push the car too much
2nd final - 2nd messed up start a bit
3rd final - 3rd. got hit from rear (was 1st) after start and thanks to slow marshal eneded up at last 10th place. Well with nothing to loose i started to push the car like I should have from the beginning. Was second with like 2 mins to go but I just wanted to be 1st so pushed even more made small mistake and finished 3rd. the track as just too easy.

5 mins is just not enough.

During the last run I finally had same lap times as with nitro last year and I can get them better with car that will brake better.

Next race is in a month, cant wait for tekin as i really need something that will brake :)

Slipperential worked flawlessly. It makes the car so easy to control.
