Got my super slash build out for the first time today. Beautiful weather here.
Started out on 3s 18/42 gearing to see how it handled and get the tires warmed up. I won’t say everything was perfect but it was damn good for the first time out. I need to tighten up the servo saver a bit maybe a stiffer sway bar in the rear but overall very predictable and controllable.
Stepped up to 4s to test the waters. I’ve never driven anything above 3s till today. Did some full throttle passes everything still felt good.
Stepped up again to 6S. Turned on my GPS. Went for a speed run with a tail wind. Got going and the WOOSH! It looped over backwards and landed on the roof. Whoops…
I’m not deterred. I’m motivated now to get my Porsche body and the carbon floor finished up so I can really start going fast!
So glad I got back into this hobby!
This would have been a really expensive day if it was a real car! Haha
Before the outing…
The results… Biggest bummer is the roof skids I ordered showed up today while I was out. ♂
The gps reading from the fateful run.
132 footer on 6S. It legit left black tire stripes for half the run. Gonna need to get some actual drag tires. Maybe an actual drag car!
