No Fly Zone

I tried to go fly my helicopters at the field Saturday afternoon, but the weather wasn't very good. Overcast with drizzle :(. So I did a little work on my truck for some Sunday racing up north at OCRC!

Getting closer!

Over the last 3 months I've been slowly collecting parts to complete my RC8.2e buggy. Some tires there, transponder, pinion gears, Kyosho springs, etc.. Last night I got my newest order. A BLS352 servo, 4Pk receiver, and a 50 tooth spur gear. All I have left to get are some shock pistons and a pair of 4S batteries.

Road Trip!

We decided to head up north to my old "home" track, OCRC :). They have a "big" race program on Sundays, with 3 qualifying rounds using qual points, and 2 car bump ups from lower mains. I qualified in the BQ position, with Ran 2 spots behind me. I had a clean start and a pile up behind me on the 1st lap let me check out. I took the easy win and bumped to the A, along with my brother who snuck into 2nd. Since we both bumped, we decided to run the A with our used batteries and warm motors for fun. We both took advantage of wrecks on the 1st lap to move up. Ran also got around me when I got out of shape in the double triple, but he rolled a few laps later and had to wait a long time to get marshaled, so I left him behind. I managed to finish 5th in the A. I guess you could say we had a good road trip north :)
