I went out this weekend to a Fall Series at one of our Local tracks.  Competition was moderate and the track condition where primo.  I went out to practice on my basic setup running AKA soft Crossbraces.  Buggy felt great.  Qualifying-  Had a problem counting laps in the 1st Rnd.  Race director said my PT had to be mounted flat.  I have been running my PT mounted to the side of my servo.  I relocated it and started counting just fine.  I broke a left front drive shaft in my 3rd Qual.   Ended up Qualifying  5th .   MAIN – The track got a little slick as the sun started to go down.  After a bad start I had to work my way up thru the field.  I made my way up to second but was running out of time.  On the last lap 1st and where about 10 seconds apart.  With less than 5 feet from the finish line 1st place flames out and I coasted to victory with ¼ tank of fuel left. 

Overall my 801x felt great.  It felt a little loose in the rear but I think a better tire choice for the main might have been better.  I look forward to the 2010 season with my 801x…. TAMIYA 2010 !
