So Cal Race for Brushless 1/8th scale conversions

[MetalMan]

It was a lot of fun! We didn't get any video footage or anything like that (that I'm aware of anyway). There were a total of eight electric 1/8 on the track, four of which were Tekno buggies (marzac, riceman, Matthew Armeni, and teknorc, all members of this forum), two other buggies owned by guys whose names unfortunately I did not remember, a truggy that some guy borrowed off of one of the guys whose name I don't remember, and my buggy.

The guy who drove the truggy won by a decent margin. But he had a clear advantage over our buggies in the whoops section at the front straight-away as he could easily fly through it (for some of us, including myself, our buggies would occasionally catch air and flip around because of the whoops).

In the first qualifier, marzac got first place beating me in second by 12sec. Then came Dan from teknorc in third, only 5sec. behind. My memory cannot recall the placement of the other drivers (we were all tired, after not sleeping much from waking up so early). In the second qualifier, my switch turned off about 10sec. into the first lap. In this round, the truggy came in and got first, followed by marzac, teknorc, myself, and again my memory doesn't recall the rest. I'm pretty sure we finished in the same placement in the 10min. main, except one of the other guys beat me and I got 5th. My decreased performance was definitely due to an increase in start power and switching my throttle curve from exponential to logarithmic.

We are all definitely going to be meeting up again for another 1/8 electric race, but the location I do not know as of now. But the new ARC track sounds like it will be a great place to meet up.
