First race with my new brushless truggy

I had a great first showing with my GS Racing XUT at my home track, Trax 70....The motor mount i made held together great! The truck itself held together great!

The first heat I ran 9 laps @ 6:42
Second heat i doofed and ran 7 laps at 6:02

Started first in the B Main...Won by a full lap running consistent 38 to 41 sec laps
Started 9th in the A main...Broke a front drive shaft 13 mins into the 30 min race...Finished 6th and still dont know how I kept her goin! My center diff was 380 degrees at the end of the race but I finished broken driveshaft and all!
I honestly did not at all expect to run that well in my first race!

Sounds like you had a hellova good time.Thats what it's all about

Man I had a blast! Im kinda kickin myself for not gettin my Truggy going sooner! So much fun to be in a race and im not the only one passin people.
I used to run SC mod and there wasnt really any competition in that class but now I have that in the truggy class.

Sounds like it's time for a center diff rebuild. That's hot!

Awesome job.

Sounds like you need thicker center diff oil to prevent from cooking it when the front unloads.

Pics? Vids?

Sorry no video....The track is in a area that has no service so my phone was searching it self dead.

I would def go through the front diff and replace o-rings, gasket, and bearings after getting that hot. The fact that you could still go that far with a broken shaft is awesome. I myself would have just pulled it off the track to avoid doing any further damage. I'm sure that with a driveshaft your diff temps would have been half that!
