I got in some practice time with the new truck. It felt really good, so I decided to enter myself into the Novice Class down at Hobby Town. The Truck handled really well, and I learned a valuable lesson about battery life with my racing tonight. I kind of made the mistake of charging my battery yesterday, and left it stored charged so when I started racing tonight I was not at full charge. So next time I will fully charge the batteries just prior to racing, that way I don't run into any more problems.
Overall it was a fun evening, had a good time and also got to watch my friends do some racing from over at Wolfpak Racing blog.
Here are the results of tonight racing for me.
Heat 1: Finished 5th, and ran 27 laps.
Heat 2: Finished 6th, and ran 21 laps.
- For heat 2, my battery died half way
through the race,sigh, lesson learned.
B Main: Finished 4th, and ran 25 laps.
- Another lesson learned, did not realize that my
controller got switched, so when I started the
B Main, my steering was backwards. So I ran
the entire race steering in reverse, sigh, lesson
learned, so embarrassing.
So for my first time out I feel I did pretty good, making the B Main was very cool. They had a A, B and C main this evening. With what I learned tonight, my next session out should be much better. I will try to take more pictures next time, and maybe try to get a video as well.
