Default Having A Blast

Well what can I say??? Did a shake down run on Saturday Night mainly carpet and a few small jumps. Everything felt OK. Big test was Sundays Broxtowe Supercross track !! Ill point out straight away that the Diffs are infact sealed diffs and can run oils. !!!! Some muppett aka me must have lost it when I built it DOH !!! Cant remember though. The front one I stripped and filled with 10,000 wt oil but as I had no spare washers I packed the rear full of grease for the meeting. With Oil in the car was much better...

I got quicker and quicker with the car just a few numpty laps stopped me from getting right up there.. Laptimes were only .25 .5 seconds a lap off helliwell and skelds etc and in first round I actually had fastest lap ?????? shame about the rest.

Suspension was good although different spring rates and some setup will help shave a few more 10ths off ! With the rear diff being very free it sometimes diffed out coming out of corners. possibly why I was a just a bit off.. When i get the rear diff sorted watch out. It excellarates like a 410 and brakes like one. A bit more tuning and it might handle like one.

After 4 rounds and never out of the top 10 in all 4 5th in round 1 and i think 6th in another gave me 6th on the grid.

It was a fast and furios final and everyone apart from helliwell who was on a different planet ?? was roughly the same pace. Highlight was catching Rob Fox and his xx4 and passing him and leaving him !! HE HE EH ROBO !!!!

Finnished 6th in the end only a few second behine 5th and 4th I think .

Will be running it at worksop in 2 weeks And ill post some build tips sometime this week if anyone is intrested.

Laters

The BLAST MAN NANA NMM MMA MAN !!!!!!!



PS Ran a 6.5 and nothing broke !!!! gears are all fine and bedded in ok.
