Well guys i think this weekends racing goes down in the book as one from hell, it started on saturday in the qualifing heats, rain, mud as thick as treacle, cars weighing 4 times what there sposed to, and parts falling off my cars left right and center, the mbx lasted 2 heats and i smashed the whole left side of the car, tune pipe flattened and front arms totaly removed, dont ask how but it happened, nicked a barrier tube in a high speed corner and that was the end of the mbx, the x-ray last 1 heat and my Rb seazed go fig, after i been talking them up so highlyi changed motors and then what happens, my very exspensive Futaba steering servo dies and puts my car into a drain about 2 ft under (doh) , so i ended up running the sacker, because all my quallifing heats were so bad
i made the E final, not sure what the race system is but you have to come in the top 4 of every race from now on to progress to the next heat 30 min heats , so the sacker with a rb lasted till the b final I'm running first thinking to myself that the a final is not far away, 18 second lead and my car is fare flying, i land off the big double jump and all of a sudden theres no power, i managed to get the car back to the puits at no revs, as soon as i pull up the motors quits, thinking that i cooked the motor, John my oits man says (your not going to beleive this, youve blown the head and cooler clean off the motor) so i jump down and have a look go fig hes right blew 3 of the bolts clean out and the 4th was holding on by about threads amazed the motor actualy ran round to the pits, so all in all i killed 2 motors a servo and 2 cars, LOL what a day, sorry no pics, was to busy as you can imagine trying to keep something running.
