RCM did good...halfway across the world!

Nice work BUSAFIED! You did pretty good.



Now for my race report: (short I know, I'm tired)

MT Class 7 drivers total, 4 QL's, and one 30 MAIN race

Qualifier 1: 3rd
Qualifier 2: 3rd
Qualifier 3: 3rd!
Qualifier 4 3rd!!!

MAIN: 1ST PLACE!!! With fastest lap ever for MT Class on the track!

Right off the bat I was tail nudged by another Revo then ended up into the finish line bail.... a marshal took his time to throw me back on the track too. I quickly caught up to the pack, and it was a bit of a gong show for a couple laps there with everyone together and all. Then after passing them after a few laps and getting a few corners ahead of them I was shoulder to shoulder with a heavily modified LST-2 (hardly anything was stock), I grabbed the lead and held it for the rest of the race! I was so quick around the track I lapped everyone every 5 mins roughly! I'm tellin ya, I was in the zone!

The new upgrades I did to the truck sure helped out, namely new 7955 servo, RPM true-track rear arms, and LPR crimefighters, as well as the newer teflon shocks, E-revo diffs, and new 13mm front axle carriers, but those don't really affect performance. However the truck's diffs felt like they were working better than the old ones, particularly in the straight when hammering on it.

Average lap time (personal): 44.2 sec.
Fastest single lap time: 42.5 sec. Which broke the lap record for MT, btw!

When looking at the other guys lap times, 2nd place driver got 46.x sec lap times, IIRC. Then they just increased from there, I think the slowest guy was like ~49 sec average.

Get this, more than half the truggies and buggies guys have average lap times SLOWER than me, between 45 and 46 sec lap times. I can be racing with the truggies now if I wanted to! I might not, and likely will not win, but I would give them a run for their money! I wonder if I lowered the CoG as best I could, and got better tires, I could be on par with them?

During the qualifiers I just couldn't make a consistent pace, as well as crashing consistently, ending up in 3rd everytime! Then during the 30 min MAIN, I just settled down and got in a zone I have never been in before, and just destroyed everybody! lol


Also, since I was there last, the fastest driver there was so impressed with the BL Revo that he setup a BL Eight buggy with a Tekin(buggy 1900kv.) system and powered by Zippy FM 30C 4s/5000 packs. Pretty quick, but oddly I can pull away from him in the straight?

Anyways, I think that's pretty much it, I will post again, with some pics.

Cheers!
