Oh what an awesome time with the Nitro today! I think I've become an instant Nitro junkie.... thanks Blake for helping me set the car up on Tues. My electric was hurting big time today but I managed to pull myself out of the D mains - ack! Well at least no smokie motor in the C...
The nitro races were a blast. I got a little twitchy 3/4 through the mains and broke the front shock tower - not enough to cripple the car but enough to make it handle like garbage. I did manage to finish the race though - adjusting to the ill handling car took some getting use to but I did manage to get some decent laps in (well decent for me and my second race ;) ) I guess in the excitement and noise of the race I didn't notice my radio was giving up the ghost - when I got off the drivers stand it was beeping at me and displaying WARNING on the LCD. Put it on the table and it shut off - talk about close - I even peaked it before I started today! I also broke the tie straps on my receiver battery so it was just hanging in there - gotta figure a better mounting system :) The front strut towers broke enough for everything to float but not enough to drop the car on the ground - thus the steering issue. Last but not least the LHS front wheel poped out of the steering - nice. Well I've got a lot of work before next Sunday....
Definately have to get some more brakes for that straight - time to play with the adjust on the radio.... its always something isn't it :)
Anyhow thanks for all the help from all the Nitro guys getting me set up and running!
Too much fun....
