Logan Turner Benefit Race at Sandpit RC
Sandpit RC held the Logan Turner Benefit Race where 79 entries showed up to support the fight against Leukemia. The off road track was a mix of loose soil and clay jumps, providing a changing surface for those present and the oval classes were run on a smooth, banked clay oval.
Sometimes it Pays to be Flexible
Some like it hot, some like it cold, some like it in the pot, 9 days old. On one hand, I like the flex the X-Factory B5m chassis provides and don’t want to use the chassis stiffeners they offer. On the other hand, I want to mount my body with velcro. Enter side-skirts that don’t affect flex while keeping out dirt and giving you a place to slap velcro on your car! Coming soon to an internet store near you.
THE Series at TARCAR 2015
The third round of the series took racers down to Ohio. Rain earlier in the week provided an almost muddy track at the start of the day. However, warm weather and sunny skies meant the track wouldn’t be wet for long as it slowly transformed into a dry blue groove surface by the time the mains rolled around. Tire choice was key all day, separating those who came prepared from the rest of the pack.
Testing B44.3 Side Guards
Without an under tray, it’s hard to keep my B44.3 clean on loose, loamy, and occasionally muddy tracks that Michigan outdoor tracks. Waiting for the perfect conditions to hit the track puts a real damper on practice, but I hate covering my electronics in layers of dirt that could be easily prevented. Time to make some side guards to protect the electronics from roost and give me a place to mount the body with velcro. Testing went perfectly after rain soaked the track and the wet loam stayed on the outside of the chassis all weekend.
THE Series at Battle Front RC 2015
Rain threatened to force the crowd of 137 entries to run on the indoor track at Battle Front Gaming and RC, host of the second round of THE Series. After a slight delay, the weather held out long enough to fit in all 3 rounds of qualifying along with some action packed mains.
