RACING 1/8 BUGGY vid

[glassdoctor]

Ok, here's dome stuff from last weekends race. (2nd time racing with the 8ight)

Setup changes from before:
Different MM esc... other one cogging bad... I think I killed it. :036:
Direct hardwired the motor wires...no stock 4mm gold cons.
Replaced the 1515 1700kv with the 1512 1900kv.
Dropped the gear from 16/46 to 14/46 with the motor swap.
Ran the new maxamps 5000mah 4s pack in quals... 8000 pack in the main, to be safe.

Ok... biggest mistake was not working on the car, checking ride height, etc. It was riding low in the rear already and when I put the bigger pack in for the main it messed things up on some of the jumps... bad nose over from chassis slap. Also, the shocks needed rebuilt bad... they had been leaking and I never got that done.

Anyway... I did ok in qualifying but not great. Some bad runs and dnfs by some fast guys helped me qualify 4th out of 28 buggies. But the main was rough for me... one jump wrecked me almost every lap, lol...

Gotta go get some 3's... brb
