That track looks like a lot of fun actually! Not too bad...you will get better. My first time at the track I was embarassed since there was a crowd and I sucked. Now I realize I was a moron for feeling embarrased. These guys are all cool, and willing to help you with just about any setup tips you need....until you start beating them ;-) I was landing in my lid every 2nd jump....now I can throw down consistent laps without too much of a problem. Just a learning curve is all. It's fun while learning though!

Yes Motogod, that is why there is nobody else there. lol i wasn't sure how well i would do.lol but it was a ton of fun and the owner of the lhs helped me out a lot with the tune. i will definately be practicing there a lot. and thanks to this site i am starting to get things figured out which = lots more fun.

You were actually doing pretty good out there. Are you running the stock talons? with stock rims? It looks like your front end is washing out pretty bad. But other than that you seem to be getting the hang of it. I would highly suggest some 1/2" offset wheels and tires. You will see a huge difference.

Is that RC Madness in Enfield, CT? Here's what i run. Revo 3.3 with axial 28 in it and FOC with some upgrades. Shock oil in the stock revo will not put up with too much of what you are doing. I am running 70 shock oil in the front, 100 out back. You might not need that thick out back since you are running a 3.3trx engine, i do since the AXIAL is much heavier. My truck runs great, people ask me what kind of truggy it is. BTW, you are hitting those corners under braking, is what is sounds like to me. Brake before the corner, be on the throttle during it. It will give you a much faster corner exit speed and lower lap times.

thanks a lot guys for the input i am looking at tires and rims tomorrow,when i get shock oil. yes duckstang that is rc madness. are you close to there? i plan on going there a lot more often to practice on the track.i now see about throttle control,it plays a major roll in handling.
