That a tough question to answer. Without more info we're going to have to assume it has something to do with the picture on the top. Can't put my thumb on it but something doesn't look right. lol

Just a reminder but you are Mortal! A slower truck can turn faster times with a better driver than a faster truck with a mediocre driver. Watched it happen all weekend long! Billy Fisher is an incredible driver and even though there where trucks and buggies that could pass him on the straight as soon as they turned he was long gone!!! Now the question is was this a long main that required a battery swap? One battery swap takes about as long as at least 6 fuel stops.

lol, I too was thinking that maybe, just maybe, the tires should be facing down.

That's what I'm missing - Upsidedown and backwards is not a good way to win...

To be honest I was very happy with 2nd and 3rd in brushless buggy - I'm not the best driver...

Upside down and backwards landings tend to break parts too!
