Still a Competitive Car
I ran my 502 in 4wd Stock (17.5T Blinky) this last weekend at the Castlehill Pro-Am, Sydney. It is also the 1st race of the NSW Club Series.
I managed to qualify 7th in a field of 20 or so runners and finished up 8th. Not a bad effort I thought considering my last race was September last year at the Vintage Festival and that I've never run in the class before. I managed to improve my times over each of the qualifying runs. I went from 12 to 7th in the 2nd Q and held onto 7th in the final Q, but significant improved my time.
I borrowed an LRP X12 motor from a friend, swapped in a 69 tooth spur and used a 29 tooth pinion. The car was pretty good on the loose track, plenty of grip on line, very loose offline. I was running saddle packs - Fredericks carbon fibre cradles which bring the packs closer to the centre of the car.
My goal is to run each of the 4 Club Series events in this class and improve as I go.
