RACE REPORT!! WORKSOP!!
Hi Guys,
Well... We had a great day on Sunday. As some of you may know Ed Kerry came up with us and raced. It was the first time in 3 years that Ed had raced 1/10th off-road. In the first round we used a prototype one-way and unfortunately it snapped a drive-shaft. So he carried on the race on 2wd  and half broken.In the second round it ran really well... until the speedo thermalled out. We sorted this problem out by reaming some holes in the front of the shell and fitting a fan on top of the speedo. We also geared down a tooth. We should of expected it as it was really fast and being quite toasty indoors. (was nice being warm and inside rather than in the rain outside) The third round was good but could have been quicker if he had a clean run. The fourth round was the best and actually put him 14/15th overall in round. So you could imagine where he would be if he had all rounds similar to the fourth! We ran worn tyres all day and did think after, that we should have put a new set on as most people ran a new set each round. Ed was very happy with the balance of the car and was unhappy that he couldn't get a clean run and show the car's full potential. We ran an old 5.5 bonded brushless motor and found it was far quicker than needed. More than anything Sunday was a test day for us and we did achieve want we wanted. Now on to our Team Drivers!! WELL DONE!!!  I know I have already said this but they did very well. This was the first time out with the Pred's. Compared to everyone using a car that they would have been running for ages! There were a few teething problems, but they got sorted out and learnt a few things. Andy was the highest ranking in the Team Drivers and went brilliant. He could have been in the running for a trophy until his tyre burst. It was a great race to watch. Garry did come first in his final which was brilliant. Matt did well when he ran the car but had electronic troubles which is a shame as he didn't finish his rounds. He didn't finish his final either, I did think he was easily in for a trophy. (Unfortunately some numpty's on the stand couldn't keep their mouth's shut and were very off-putting. I do think it was unfair them taking the 'pee'. They obviously wanted all the attention on them I'm sure they'd have something to say if it were done to them!)Shane and Peter also did well even though they had 'nightmares' getting to Worksop. Shane broke down on the way here and I believe missed practice. Peter had come straight from work - working nights, I don't know how he stayed up.  We were really pleased with our drivers they are really nice lad's, enthusiastic and showed potential. We are pleased with our new Team If they did this well first time out it shows that they can easily improve... Watch this Space  Yanina Team Xtreme

Yanina, I know there has been a lot of banter about the X11, but we all know it was just a bit of fun.
I'm sure nothing like that happens in touring cars, but as we are all friends we know it is just a laugh and we all have fun. All the best lil ben PS everyone was getting encouragement in their finals

Much better idea of having the servo upright. Leaves alot more space for electrics.
