Hi friends!
So I said, i was racing yesterday in the stock class with the Ansmann clash motor ( :P and have to say that it did petty well, with a 23T pinion
), and as promised I'll do a short summary of it. The track was a very complex one, having all kind of surfaces, earth, sand, grass. One single and one double ramp (I hate that double soooo much!!!!
) 2WDs really had some hard times on that double ramp. The main phenomenon was that we have landed on the nose.(I confess that I cannot jump yet. I will buy some spares the summer and will train myself for the jumps) Even the better drivers have had very few succesfull jumps. And even less those in the stock class with 20T brushed motors. I've decided not to jump at all,being affraid of breaking something,untill the last A final, when I said, that I don't have too much to loose so I've started jumping that double ramp. Nothing broke
Even the organisers said that it was a track for 4WD. (Actually after the race I have tried a B44......well.....I'm NOT giving up. I want to learn to drive a 2WD well. But...God how well that B44 drove.......!Almost full throttel in the curves and succesfull jumps :P BTW! I also have to buy a faster servo.
Do you guys consider the exponential a necesary thing? Should I find a radio with exponential? In the straights I didn't really have steering issues. One issue was that before the race somebody broke my radios steering wheel and I had to race with a Kyosho Perfex. Maybe it was better than mine but I wasn't used with it, with how the DR worked. One qualification went weaker because of that DR.
After all, I don't know what place I was, BUT, in the 2nd stock A-Final I was 4th and the other MadRat right in front of me 3rd
Cheers guys!
(did I say, short summary? :P )
