I've seen this type of thread on many a forum. Figured why not it might give us a little extra traffic and a reason for everyone to post up since most posts are informational.
I took mine upstairs to my hobby room before the GF threw out the entire truck and buggy for sitting on the dining room table after I cleaned it. I do have some new caster hubs and TSR CVD boots on the way. I couldn't believe how much dirt got into the CVD's. Have one of Cav's setup sheets that I'm going to mirror to see if that helps with rear traction.

I got the SC10 back together. I ended up going with Maifield's setup from the worlds a few years ago for loose dirt. I swapped in the ball diff from the T4 to make it a bit smoother out the corner too. The TSR boots went right on and look awesome and will keep the dirt out. New receiver will be here Thursday. I still can't believe i did that. lol. I still have to put the test setup on the B5 but not worried about that since I wont be running this class yet. Still need to get additional batteries to be able to run consistently.

Went to Oak Grove on Tuesday with Antonio. Got my setup mostly figured out. Found all my traction to the point of traction rolling into turn 1 if I come in too hot and will carry the front inside tire about 2" off the ground most times. Gonna bump my rear shock oil up to 32.5wt to hopefully keep some traction but get that tire on the ground.
B5 has some new wheels and batteries are on the way.
B44 has a motor and ESC waiting but still need to order the B5 stud conversion,new outdrives and a quality servo. Also, need to get a new body, chassis protection and 4wd front wheels/tires.

I drove the RC10 around some yesterday at Bayshore and could not believe how hooked up that car was right out of the box. I'm looking forward to an exhibition vintage race soon  Of course I should have taken some pictures but didn't, I should have some up soon though. |

Not much to report on my RC's. I have a pile of parts I need to take care of. Putting the B44.3 on the back burner for now till I get some funds built up. I wont be able to make a race until June 4th due to work.

Not to much to report here either. I got up with a guy a few weeks ago who is painting me some team bodies for my B5 and B44.3, they should ship tomorrow so I should have them before our next race. I also ordered some team stickers from upgrade RC to make the bodies look even prettier.

Not car related but I didn't have a very good RC week. I finally got around to building my Electrohub Quadcopter and my E-Flight Taylorcraft 450. Electro hub's build was very nice and went together smoothly. I had on motor not cooperate and had to reprogram and re calibrate a few times. Took it out for a test flight and it went 10ft nice and smooth then flipped over and auger'd into the ground. 3 booms and 2 props broken...ugh. Build on the Taylorcraft was awesome and it's such a beautiful plane.
SC5M is officially on pre-order. Really want to see how the Mid-motor does on the higher grip track we have now, if it sucks I'll sell. Also, almost all of the shorty packs that I have/found are 60c-65c at the lowest. It doesn't affect me in sportsman but when I go to 17.5 my shortys will be over the 50c limit.
