Today we had Q2, Q3, Q4 and a dash for cash. It was a good day for me. I started out in nitro buggy and had a much needed clean run to get TQ. Then in electric I was going really good, but made a few mistakes and got 2nd. In Q3 I had another good run in nitro to get the TQ. In electric I was FLYING and feeling very good, just bustin 32’s every lap until my car started to stutter really bad. I had one bad crash, then just backed off and drove extra safe to get the TQ. In Q4 for nitro I was again feeling great, but I made two big mistakes and ended up 7th. I need to just back it down a little bit and I will be fine. I put a new motor in my electric thinking that was the issue. I started out strong, but just a few laps in, it started stuttering and then just quite. The track is extremely hard on the cars. The jumps are huge with no good landings. For tomorrow I put a need speedo in and made a foam burger for it.
Here’s a shot of a photographer getting real low on my ride. Haha
Final race today was the Dash for Cash. They take the top 12 using 2 of 4 qualifiers. Start in reverse order and go for it. I started 11th. I won this race last year, and I was wanting it again. I got a great start and was 5th after 1 lap!!! A few laps in I got into 2nd and then reeled in Bloomfield in the lead. I was wanting to be really aggressive and just get by. I squared him up on the straight and we were side by side, but he was fading us from the outside all the way to the inside. I was out of the line and in the dust when I needed to brake for the roller, and when I did my car stepped out and we hit. I went to 4th I think, and it broke his car. After that I made it back up to 2nd and was battling JQ. He got sideways and we hit sending me crashing. I went back again. Then it was wild after that. I recommend just watching it on neobuggy.net or Liverc.com It was a really fun race, I ended up 2nd behind King at the end. JQ and a few others ran out of fuel at the end. It was a 10 minute race. Cody’s car was BONE dry. Check out my tank after 10:30 đ
We have Q5, Q6 and electric semi tomorrow. I got a good chance at TQ in both classes, need some smooth runs. I’m off to bed. God Bless

good luck from greece champ……

How are you able to run more than 10 minutes without the engine showing a sign of running too lean ?
Some engines get better mileage than others. It’s also how fast you pull the throttle. I pull it very slow, so I need a leaner tune so the engine cleans out properly. You don’t want to gain mileage by just running your engine lean. Engines want to run at a certain tune, they don’t run good rich, or lean. After you find the tune where the engine runs correct, you tune the feel and mileage with pipes, and carb restrictors. I will also mess with how far my carb will open.
thanks, I’ll try that
