MooOOoooOOOoOoooo – The Milk Man Delivers!

Oh yeah, what a nice of racing!!!

This is the second outing of the ‘Mooo Mobile‘, drive by me, aka The Milk Man.

Had a good couple of hours of practice, and the truck was running pretty good. Did some baseline laps with the setup from two weeks ago, then I started tweaking the [...]

Short Course Racing Status, January -> April 2011.

BRCR implemented a track change in mid April, so I’ve closed out the previous dataset, and started a new one for updated track.

During that time I also acquired the TLR22 buggy, and sold off the AE B4 (took less than 2 hours to sell, yip!).

So, without yammering on, here is the graph [...]

Converting from Open to Stock Short Course

It didn’t take long for me to figure out that I had A LONG way to go before I belonged running Open Short Course trucks. Even though I had the monster motor in the class with a 7.5T Novak (most other racers were running 10.5T or 13.5T – lower the turns, the faster it spins [...]

New SC10 body to be run tonight.

It’s official. I’ve been kicked up from NOVICE class to MOD SHORT COURSE.

Monday night was my last Novice racing event (more on that in another post). With the demise of the old body, timing is perfect for finishing up the new body, trimming it up and getting it ready for racing tonight.

Wednesday Night Short Course Racing – Another win!

Ah.. it’s good to win.

SC10 Factory Team – in pit at BRCR

So, it’s still in Novice class, but it was not an easy win. There was one competitor (also named Dave) that was really giving me a run for my money, in fact he was just ahead of me when his truck [...]

Monday Night Racing results

Wow, it was a challenging night at BRCR on Monday. Turnout was a little down so Alex (race director) combined what is typically 4-6 racing classes down into two.

Class 1 – Novice, Stock and Open Class Short Course Trucks.

Class 2 – Stock Stadium Truck, Stock Buggy, Open Stadium Truck, Open Buggy.

Team Associated releasing a 4×4 SC10! Oh, is this a must have?

While checking on the RC10.com site for blank setup sheets (I want to record the current tuning of my Factory Team SC10), I am faced with this:

Monday night R/C Racing at BRCR

Monday night was another great time down at Bremerton Radio Control Raceway.

On the heels of the 4 hour Enduro race just 2 days before, turnout was pretty light for a Monday night. In fact, there really wasn’t enough depth in each field to run the normal Novice, Stock and Open class for each vehicle [...]

R/C racing on Monday Night.

This past Monday, I took the plunge and ran my first full race with the re-bodied SC10 truck.

It was a real blast, but I have A LOT to learn about truck setup before I’m going to be competitive. The most challenging [...]
