New BL 8ight Project

Looked a little like it was riding a pogo stick.

I was watching the video thinking th same thing. I couldnt figure out if the suspension was to soft or too stiff from the vid, but I certainly could tel it wanst handeling very well.

Great vids by the way! I wish I could get someone to take some vid of my buggy on the track. Everyone is always so busy scrambling around they dont have time or want to bother.

Capito was really smokin in that vid. If the stupid truggy in that race would have quit wiping him out with its size he would have just walked away with the race. Do you know what kind of truggy that was? It looked like it was getting around trhe track pretty nicely, keeping up with the buggys and all.

That's a Jammin X1 CRT. The driver of that truggy is actually a kid named Cade Whittenton who you can see on the drivers stand. I think he's 9 years old (Not positive). He's pretty darn good. You can also see him marshling for my buggy in the other video about 50 seconds in. I'm very impressed wit how he handled the truck getting stuck on mine. Instead of leaving it alone and assuming it would come off he continued running towards the cars regardless of my stupidity attempting to drive off with him on top of me. Good racer and good marshal. Him and his dad (Jon) typically race revos and do very well with them. Definitely fun to race with.

I actually got away on the first lap but caught the pipe that splits the entry to pit lane the first time around and ended up on my lid directly in front of the driver's stand. I won the race turning consistent 31's but if Roy(blue nitro buggy) would have kept it on all 4's he probably would have triumphed. He had a nice string of 29 second laps toward the end of the race. I need a couple of settup changes; never was comfortable going for the triple in the back or doubling into the second 3 in the six pack. Cade(the truggy pilot), is actually a pretty darn good driver. He is young though and occationally gets a little over zealous.
