We finally had some decent rain which allowed me to run the RC car in the mud, dirt and rain. However, due to the high amount of clay in our soil the whole race track turned into a gigantic slip and slide. The car had absolutely no grip what-so-ever. Even just walking on the track became an issue.
Therefore no timing exists from the race day. I did pull out my waterproof (and thankfully shockproof) Sanyo WH1 Camcorder though - to film the car in the hopes of getting a “Rally Great Britain” type video, but thanks to the fact that the car was all over the place the video is about the Rally car crashing into the camera.
At the end of the day I managed to get water into my Novak Speed Controller which of course fried the unit. I switched to the Tamiya Stock motor until I get a replacement controller. Considering that the track is very short and narrow I wonder what the Lap time differences will be. Timing and Race Results can be found here.
