Yesterday at the track, I feel like I drove so much better than I did a couple months ago. I had improved alot. I am doing the ramps/jumps slower and smoother which is nice. A few times, I did do some whips in the air which is pretty cool. Not sure if I caught that on video. 2 months ago, I was taking the ramps to fast and high up in the air. Now, I sort of still do it. I got the doubles before the straight nailed down. Its just the doubles at the corner of the track. The track is using firehose as the lane markers so it is sort of easy to get out of the lane and go into the next one if your not paying attention or going to fast. I would think PVC pipe would be better in this situation. But the fire hose is more moveable so it is way easier to change track layouts.
This is my practice from 2 months ago:
And here was my practice from yesterday:
(until 1:50 mark)
Comment on what you think, how I improved, and how I can still improve on my driving.
With lap times, I am hitting around a solid 12 seconds - 15 seconds if I go smoothly and no flipping over or anything. For the size track and track layout, I'm thinking its pretty good. Looking at my averages, i am around 15 - 22 seconds. This is probably trying to go faster, but not smoothly.
Note: This is for 1/10 4wd buggy only, not Mini B.
Next time I drag my uncle down, I will try and nag him to let me drive his XB4 and ill let him drive my B74. Just to see setups, drivability, ect. Once I get down to the track on Thursday nights, I will see how the local's drive, and think on how I can improve.
I think I can improve by just going slow and steady, consistent laps, instead of messing up. Before the doubles at the corner of the track, I would need to slow down as they are very close to each other,
Another thing to note is that this is my 1st 4wd car and car like this, so its alot getting used to it. Especially coming from 2wd bashers.
