And also, I put some red sharpie on the bullets and made it cleaner by zip tie to the center diff brace thing.
It's a LFR body I got from my buddy. I wanted to try out a different scheme and it turned out terrible. I call it bomb pop melted. Lol. I painted the body like back in October. About to get a new one and try to find my same color paints in a few.
I have to try to find my paint codes as I used...
Racin today. Got 4th in the a main. Stayed where I started. All alright. Car did good. Going back to almost stock setup helped calm down the car when landing.
All these carpet tires that I can't use anymore :(
2 sets of these only have 1 track day on them.
I heard First State is reopening up so I'm waiting for that and hopefully I can check it out one day. Its an hour or so north east from me.
And also, new charge leads. Look alot cleaner and...
Hoping to get a new body soon. Either the new LFR Bretta Body or I'll be getting something from Jconcepts. The current LFR Body I have looks good with a good paint job.
Gonna try to find my team colors again because duratrax is half backorder and take my time painting, or Ill send it to the pro...
Ill be at the track and racing in the next few Saturdays. Excited to see how setup is and see if I can drive better, and with the new esc change. Don't have anyway to program it so hopefully I don't need to make any adjustments, which I rarely have to do anyways.
Ill test out the radio 1 last...
Got my glitch buster cap in. Ill see if it will help fix issues. Pretty sure it has to be the radio itself. But just in case. To prevent brownouts. Zip tied it to the battery strap. should hopefully stay secure.
Raced at Beach RC today. New XR10 Stock spec 100A esc. My old XR10 Pro legacy was done. Random cut outs, red light of death, won't send power to rx.
Did pretty well today. Got 2nd in the bmain. Was close to that bump. Started first in the main. Look at my race blog thread for more...

The one I broke the trigger on, that was my older RadioLink RC4GS V3. I super glued it back on last year and is still holding up great.
This radio is my RC8X. Once I updated the radio back in September, I noticed having issues. I updated the original firmware (idk which one it was) to V1.1.8. I...

esc fan died, negative wire pulled out. Gonna get a spare one from my uncle. But ill test it out and see if I don't need a fan. Usually my esc stays cool

Excited about Beach RC and spring break coming up in a week.
Did well for practice today. Nothing broke. No traction roll overs. Consistent lap times. Surprising as I was out for a while. Ran 4 battery packs.
Buggy:
Just got done wrenching and packing up. Charged 2 Mini B batteries and my Tx battery. Ill charge other batteries when I get there in the morning.
Found that a rear ballcup for the turnbuckle cracked so I replaced that. I would just have to check camber and ride height tomorrow.
Replaced the...
Got front hub axle crush tubes. Ill see if I am missing them in the hub, if so ill put them in.
