Comp prep has begun

[Ritz413]

Installed the new portal covers, and did some quick driving in the yard. These make a big difference!! There was a light rotational sound the first couple feet, but it immediately went away and all seems normal. Gonna try and make some time for real testing tomorrow. Looking forward to Sunday!

Good luck with your comp.
I highly recommend the fusion, that's what I put in my crawler and it's awesome. Just my .02

There was a comp at my LHS yesterday but I couldn't make it due to a previous commitment. My buddy went, pretty sure he got first place. Should know results later today

Good stuff, what class is he in?

It was 1:24 scale, and our shop doesn't do classes, yet.
They do a consistency comp. Everyone does 3 runs through the same course. You get points for hitting gates, tips, reverses, etc...and it's factored in with your time. Then all 3 runs are compared to see how consistent you were. The lower the deviation, the better. He has the highest score so far, at like 97% or so consistent. They do the same system for 1:10, but on an outside course
He did say they kinda changed the scoring yesterday, with the score now being a low number. He got a 1.27, which I am guessing is the deviation?
But this allows for having one, smaller course that you don't have to come up with 3 separate lines for. So a stock rig can compete with a fully built rig on the same course

"Consistency comp" looks like a fun way to go - good luck!

 

[CreepyQuarryCrawler]

Good luck man!

 

[Ritz413]

Good luck man!

Thank you! Both courses are done for me. I got some video of the first 1. It's a waiting game now to find out where I placed in the end at this point.

 

[Ritz413]

Did I place in the top 5...no, was my driving awesome...no, did I get a DNF on either course...hard no! Good times were had, knowledge was gained, and so was a neat bag of parts.

My buddy showed up today...his indoctrination has begun. It does seem like he was more into the go fast carpet buggies and such as a first vehicle....but he was thinking about picking something up so it's probably already too late for him. He did seem to have a good time running the c10 scx24 around the mini crawler course, and is into some local trailing sometime soon.
