Another great night of RC racing down at Glitch in Queen Creek, Az.

Frank Jr. decided to come down and watch the racing fun. It was a blast, we were racing tonight with our friends over at Wolfpak Racing, and Dean from Wolfpak made the podium in 2wd Buggy racing.
I made some changes to the Blitz to try to help me with the handling. I switch the rear tires of the Blitz from the stock tires to JConcepts Double Dees. I would have switched the fronts as well, but I went to a couple of shops and only found one set. I will look this week at a couple of other shops in town to see if I can pick up a set for the fronts this week.
Below is the results of racing my 2wd Short Course Truck, this week I decided not to run the novice electric class and was racing with the standard 2wd Short Course drivers. It was a lot of fun racing in the regular class this week.
Racing results:
Heat 1 Racing (6 min.):
The addition of the Double Dees on the rear was a big improvement as far as traction this weekend, but I am still having trouble with getting the truck to turn. At the end of Heat 1, I ran 9 laps.
Heat 2 Racing (6 min.):
Round two of the heats I had an improvement, I ran a personal best of 10 laps in this 6 minute heat.
Heat 3 Racing (6 min.):
For round three, I'm not sure how I did overall, there was a problem with getting the results out, but I feel I did at least 9 laps, lol, I wasn't really counting.
A-Main Racing (10 min.):
For the A-Main I did a huge improvement over my last A-Main in which I only ran 7 laps. This time I ran 15 laps, the truck felt better as far as traction, but was still having some trouble with some of the turns, I will get the new tires for the front this week and see if that helps then make adjustments from there. Below is the race results for the A-Main showing all the drivers.
