I finally broke out the OLD Losi GTX and give it day at a local private track. I got there and it was a fairly small dirt oval with turns banked somewhat. At first I thought this was not going to be much fun but my view changed as I went out to get in some practice time. I'm a bit rusty after being away from racing for over 5 years but it is coming back. I was really surprised at how well the Losi ran. It had been sitting for several years and all I did was to recharge the battery pack and add fuel. Started right up and ran flawlessly all day. The rest of the guys were all fairly new to nitro off road and I quickly became the one to be asked the questions. I don't mind, I like to help when I can. Seveal where amazed at the amount of parts I carry along, to whick I just laugh because I got rid of probably half the stuff I had. Anyway, they anted to start trying to organize a race day. We managed to get two or three heats in before most were in the "pits" with trucks torn apart for repairs. The feature race never happened but I did win my heat. It was not a pretty sight but I won, and that's what counts. I'm looking forward to this weekend to go again and find a faster line around that track. This time I go with two Losi GTXs. I put another one together from parts at a total cost of about $50 and an curious as to how well that one will run. The theroy is a "Backup car" if this go bad with the primary truck. :dumb:
The guys there seemed very responsive to advice when I was asked what I thought. They said they are all rather new to nirto but ran electric so that was a help. They will learn quick then thigs will get a little tougher for the old guy with the excperience :write:
