Well last night I headed down to blackfoot to get one last go and the old nitro track before it was ripped out. I took both the LST and the Savage in hopes that between the both of them I could make it the whole night.
When I got there a few people were just getting ready to run. So I fired up my LST and ripped a few warm up laps off. When the engine was up to 230, I was ready for some racing! To my delight, the LST fired off without a hitch burning the fastest lap, even ahead of an old school buggy!
I ran out of gas, so it was back to the work bench to do some tuning. I was speaking with Dave ( one of the track experts ) about some setup issues. He gave me a hand with a few things that results in dropping the center of gravity on the truck, decreased steering (so I can make adjustments without it being instance and loosing a straight line). We also turn the back tires in a bit and the front out. The idea is that the back tires will help keep it straight and the front tires will grab with full tread on corners.
After doing a couple of test laps, the LST was running like mad! Even fast and better handling then the first few runs! This thing is SUPER fast! I cann’t belive it!
Also, Sorry about the posts lately. No excuses, other then we’ve been lazy!
