Well it rained yesterday before our bigger race today, and the track was A MUCKY MUDDY MESS! We had to put 19 bags of peet moss down over the track and even then it was bad. We had 2 qualifiers by 1:30pm and by the Mains race the track surface was dialed in, very sticky, traction rolling alot.

I was in 2nd place for the first 15 mins, until 1st had to do a battery swap, then I was 1st place until 18.5 mins, and my battery died!!! I ended up in 4th place out of 8 racers still. This thing is a machine on higher traction surfaces, I pull away from the truggies in no time. 1st place is a brushless Jammin X2 who BARELY finished the race with 2 batteries (1 swap) running TP 4s 5400mah, which he may have permanently damaged from running them down to 0% both! He literally barely made it over the finish line. It was an epic race, even if I ended up in 4th...
