Default sunday practice

Here is a vid of todays practice at my track. The beginning is the monsoon driven by chris and then the hurricanes. After that there is some others and then redcats are at the end again. http://media.putfile.com/sunday-practice-

I know, just kidding. I am going to have to do something. I just can't keep up! What do you think I could do to make it better in turns? I think that is where you keep making up you time on me or shall I say pulling away from me. lol I did notice I pushing alot in coming out of some of the turns. What that mean to put thicker fluid in the front only? I have 7k, 10k, 3k, now or could I change something else? I am talking about my other truggy instead of the monsoon.

Are all the trucks stock? I think Redcat needs to step up to the plate, get a good driver and get known. I think they can compete.

My monsoon I was running there was stock except for the tires which I switched out because the foams went bad in the stock ones. There were a couple of hurricanes running which did not have too much done to them. My hurricane I ran there was stock too except for tires. They both ran great with no problems and did not break a thing after about 4 hours of running them! I think they could be very competitive with a good driver.

that has to be the bumpiest track i've ever seen, tires are off the ground more than on! love the dirt flying around though. whoever is driving the monsoon needs to have some wing mounts on standby or tap the brakes on the way down. that shows how tough the redcats are really. i never broke anything on my nami on the track. just gotta get it up and running again.

That was actually my first couple of laps on the redesigned track when he was recording and was hitting the brake trying to get the nose down and after about 5 laps realized I had no brakes! After adjusted them I was set and was not looking so stupid on that particular jump. lol. The truck is a tough truck and the wing mounts held up well that morning before I realized its faster to land on your wheels. I will be posted a video soon of the Avon park track I went to tonight and ran my monsoon and hurricane where the monsoon suffered its first casualty which I will post with a pic later.

thanks for all the positive feedback about the track lol.. Its sugar sand right now thats why we are switching it over to clay. The cars tear it up. Its still a fun track thats for sure. Considering I dont charge to have fun you cant beat it. Plus, the bumps only help your driving ability. Put a rookie on the track and they are lost

I say anyone can drive a smooth track, a bumpier track makes it more challenging and fun I think.

Hey dennis, I am trying to upload 2 cool videos to youtube so I can post them of the avon park track right now so you can see but its taking awhile. If not then I will try and get them up tomorrow. By the way I am going to need parts for the monsoon maybe before this weekend. I hit some plywood and ripped the rear hingepin holder right in half and broke it off and pulle the screw right out of the diff cover and lost and dogbone[:@][:@][:@] Will get part numbers and call you tomorrow.
