This morning it was the Lynden dirt park.

I pulled a double header this weekend with my Tekno ebuggy and etruggy. Saturday at Clayton raceway. I was able win the B main with ebuggy and finish 5th in the A main. I TQ’D with truggy and won the A main. Sunday I went to Park Lane. I finished 3rd in 40+ ebuggy and 3rd in the etruggy A main. Ended up having a great weekend.

Nice job!
 
Everyone does pretty so I went Ugly. The color is pretty hideous too. It's a ProBody RC ripoff of a Proline Megalodon body.
Just a warning, ProBody will take your money but they won't ship anything. They're a rip off site now.
that color (at least in the photo) looks a lot like the color of the original body i had on my XXXT. 🤣
 
gave the grom a little hell after work. its quicker and faster than i was expecting. also steers better than expected. also works better in grass than expected. only thing i don't like, it drives in a straight line going forwards fine, but in reverse it veers off and is unstable and twitchy. also suspension seems a bit soft.
 
I ran the FMS FSC18 after adding some grease to the differentials. I used some of the blue grease that came with a Vanquish kit to add to the blue grease that was in the FMS model's diffs in an attempt to tighten them up a bit.

I approximately doubled the amount of grease in the rear diff and nearly filled the front. The results weren't as obvious as I expected, but there was an improvement. (I've never tried tuning an unsealed open diff before; I've only messed with sealed diffs.)

This little truck has needed some tweaking, which I enjoyed doing, and it is a lot of fun for a hundred bucks. I realize what a great value it is every time I look at my little 1/24 Microbe short course truck, which cost the same amount.
