Re: the Loaner car. Alex? reported that for the first half of the pack, the throttle would stop responding for a few seconds, then come back on. The last half of the battery seemed ok. I didn't notice the problem as Darryl loaned me his Scale Spec car for later races.
- I did install my own transponder in the loaner car. There was an empty slot on the receiver so I didn't have to touch the servo or esc plugs. It seemed fine when I ran the car.
- The front left wheel came off during my first race. Someone nicely put on a new wheel nut.
- I noticed the male bullet plugs on the battery adapter seemed a bit loose. I should have asked for help to bend out the contacts a little. I didn't have a fine enough tool for the job. I don't think that would cause the throttle problem.
- We increased the steering rate by about 10%. I think it was 70% and we moved it to 80%. Right turns were very wide. (I guess that could have been from the front wheel coming loose?) It didn't seem to be at the servos limits or cause binding. But if it did, it could overload the BEC?
I can't think of anything else.

did you check the receiver antenna wire for damage? i had that exact same problem with my 12th scale and when i fixed the antenna, the problem was gone. also (not likely) it could be the capacitors. i doubt that though...

It was me that put the wheel on. The hex in that front wheel is striped, so if you hit a wall and the wheel catches, it will turn on the hex and loosen off the nut.

Chris Morrison is going to give the rental car a once over this weekend so that it's in tip-top shape for Speed Weekend.
Who is running it on Speed Weekend?

Your description of the battery connector is consistent with the hesitating throttle.

Hey all,
I'm wondering who will be racing this Sunday Aug 27th. I know a couple people are away so I'd like to know if we have enough setup a raceday. We are definitely taking the following weekend off (Labour Day long weekend).
Let me know.
Thanks,
Blake

I have been planning on being there - but also have a lot to do, so if we are not racing I'd like to know before spending the morning preparing and getting out there.

I just talked to Joe and he is not sure if he will be racing and he told me that Rob will not be racing.
