Default A Dirty mornings racing

Well after a cold wet start a very good mornings racing. and a very bad afternoons cleaning in store.

In my first race it was flying, then it wheelied blocked up the pipe and blew it off. retired

Second race drove onto the track raced drove off 9 laps later (the winner got 14) I had to stop half way through and refit my shell/pipe as it flew off on a barrel roll.
For the first time in 3 months, after 2 fires, 3 steering servos, a new diff and two sets of gears it finished a race with no breakages.

a well chuffed Col.

PS missed the final as I was summoned home by the wifey

hi there, no worries there is always another week. We had 15 cars, 14 large scale Marder/Leopard/Lauterbacher mix and 1 1/8th nitro buggy. It was very very good. Mine wasnt the dirtiest! we ran 2 heats of 2 races and 2 finals.

Right then guilty as charged, i'm off to commence my sentence

It should be better when we get the hard frosts, then we can power slide round the corners

remember seeing somewhere that the fg beetle and pajieo under tray really keeps the muck out

no wonder they strugle to finish a race with that runny stuff all over the electrics
wins muckiest car hands down.
