Delta Winter Series

Yesterday I made my way down to Delta R/C for the Delta Winter Series. I made an ambitious task of running 3 classes. It was a reasonably quick day and very busy for me with basically nonstop racing/ marshaling/ and pitting. I ran my Durango DNX408, DEX408, and Pre-Production DNX408T. This was a Nitro weekend so there was just 3 of us that wanted to run some E-buggy as well. I took the TQ and Win in that class and set the fastest lap time of the day with my DEX408. It was working really good.


In Truggy it just felt good to be back! I guessed on a starting set-up for my truck and really didn’t have time to tinker with it. It was very fast but just a little too loose. However this was a lot of fun and I got in my drift mode that I hadn’t been able to do in a long time. I was able to take the TQ and Win and put the Truck and Engine through a good 25min full throttle test! Both came out on top!


In Nitro Buggy my DNX408 felt a bit off to me. We are doing some testing and quite honestly the test we are doing for me I don’t think is making me faster. For sure it made my buggy feel locked in and so very easy to drive. I think for 99% of the people out there it would be a welcomed change. However for me on this tight indoor track I need my car to be loose and for me loose is fast. Thus I was feeling like I needed more steering constantly. The rear was just so stuck I couldn’t break it loose. I ended up qualifying 3rd and in the Main after crashing on the first lap and going to last place and being 7/8 of a lap behind the leader at one point I was able to make it back up and only loose by about 3 seconds finishing in 2nd place. Overall it was a positive day. Felt good to get out and race again. I learned some more about set-up and thing are getting figured out to make the Durango Product even better for the Public!


Next Sunday barring the rain staying away I plan on racing at NorCal Hobbies. During this week I hope to make it out to some electric tracks and do a bit more testing and getting a grip on my electric cars for the Reedy Race!
