Had a few car set-up problems today as this was my first time out with the car and only my second race. With the help of Jim (herts club) and Adam Wild my car was running pretty well. I qualified 2nd on the grid for the c final and had an awesome race, as far as i know i won but the transponder/laptop went tits up and put me in 6th!! Was meant to bump up but obdviously the computer said otherwise Anyway, still enjoyed it and learnt some more.

[xb 808]

your welcome nial.
my day was ok
1st round was good,happy with the car and managed 9 laps,
2nd round could have been better,engine cut put me out and only managed 5 laps
3rd round was another good round with 9 laps.
the car seemed to have loads of grip and punch out of the corners ,that was until the mud found its way into everything and ended up at about 3 ton .
i was well happy with my qualifing ended up 7th overall
started 6th on the grid,got tied up as usual off the start and came out last as usual
the final was a nightmare for me,had 2 engine cuts and on thr third i decided to stop with 5 mins to go.
sorryWill,i did not mean to make you run around like a loon,but many thanks.
got home and took out the engine,think i found out what the problem was with all the cuts
if i held the flywheel i could move the con rod in and out and up and down about 2 mm in all directions
time for a new one me thinks,still not bad going its done all year,so cant moan at that.

[MR Piraterc]

I had a great day with the new 808 and its really cool racing rallycross again there is something special about it

The 808 is a truely awsome car and best bit of the day I beat " Will " ha ha not bad going after a 2 year break to race OAP class 

And i think the AKA tyres rock city block / i-beam combo for me all the way on HB wide rimms

[AdamWild]

I was really shocked how easy my MP9 was to drive. Being a truggy racer all summer till now the only time I had driven a buggy before Sunday was using Matt's tripple 7 for two heats in the summer and I hated that. Sunday the Kyosho just felt so much more forgiving.

Can't wait till round two to have another go!

yeah jas you was kicking mate nice qualifying, i was missing out on the 9 lap club by 1 or 2 seconds all day  when you get a minute can you fill in a set up sheet on Team Xray site i want to have a look at how your final set up ended up. Mine was hooked apart from a bit of a bouncy rear on the bumps  What engine you getting mate staying with Rb or you moving on to OS based mills.
