Beach RC 2024 trip today
Will post pictures and videos tomorrow as I am too tired.
Got there around 3 for practice. Did 1 battery in the mini b (practice) did 1 battery in the slash (practice) and a half battery in the rustler (practice)
Mini B practice: nothing broke. Pretty fun out there.
Slash practice. Nothing broke. Fun with a 2wd sct. but I have to really really slow down in the turns because I do not generate enough grip to actually speed up. And my servo is slow.
Rustler practice. It was fun. Slicks in the rear and worn down street basher tires in the front and hooked up pretty good! What broke, rear shock tower screws backed out again. Tried super glue multiple times. Most likely the plastic for the trans case and chassis where the rear shock tower mounts, that plastic is stripped out.
B74 practice. Didn't go so well. My ESC was having issues. It would randomly cutout and would not send power to rx, and red light of death. Buddy behind the counter recailibrated it several times and worked again. Back on the track, once I landed from a jump, went out again.
He did a solder job and wiring job on my new esc. Some good solder job too! New XR10 Stock spec 100A esc.
RIP XR10 Pro Legacy ( 12-31-22 to 3-27-24 )
Apperantly that issue is popular with the XR Pros (and the newer G2s also)
100A esc, can run down to 10.5 motors so if I want to move to mod in the future, I would have to get a new esc. Most likely will go with a very basic 10BL120 SD.
Programming, I cannot use my current card which is the G1 LCD box. I would need the LCD box pro or OTA programmer so I will get that soon.
Got my buggy up and running right before racing started. Nice timing. And thanks to my buddy for getting me up and running. 140 bucks down the drain tho on that new ESC.
Cleaned off tires, FDJ Yellow Dot compound (let dry for 15 minutes and wipe off access) Man these cars were hooked! It was also raining outside so all of the moisture made it better. Everyone says this was the most grippy the track has been in a LONG time. Track layout was fun. Even tho because of my issues and very few / limited practice with the buggy earlier, I was actually driving pretty good.
Ill skip my qualifier stats because who want those.
Started first in the B Main. Dropped down to second and almost made that bump.
Only raced the buggy today. Could have raced the slash in Mod SCT but nah, running 2+ classes on dirt is too hard for me. If on carpet, its easily do-able. But with dirt because of tire prep, nah. We ran 4WD mod class. Mixed 13.5 Buggies and Mod buggies because Mod is making a come back and people have both so not enough to divide the classes.
Thats about it for right now. Will post more tomorrow.
Oh yea, buddy gave me a new wing and even cut it out for me. Really hoping to be back next year because racing is super fun and guys are EXTREMELY helpful
Used tape on the hot wire side (positive side) as I didn't have anything else to indicate which is which. Cause I DO NOT want to plug it in wrong. I will look at the manual later tomorrow. Pretty sure it has reverse polarity detection but don't wanna risk it.
