Results from the people I think/know were racing Ansmanns

Chris Clark:
4wd Quali'd 2nd in B and finished 3rd
2wd Quali'd 10th in A and finished 9th

Stu Wood:
2wd Quali'd 5th in C and finished 10th (DNS)

Eric Wilcock:
2wd Quali'd 9th in C and finished 9th (Mid motor)

Me (Lee Carr)
2wd Quali'd 7th in C and finished 8th (std X-Pro)

1st time out with the car for me, really pleased with it, seeing as it was set to kit

All results can be found here: http://www.ardentracing.com/raceway/...es%20Round%203

Yes, had a very bad day. Finished 1 race including practice. Finished 5th in round in round 3. Finished last in the first round and around that for the rest.
I am experiencing speedo problems right now and I can not find what is causing it.
I am well impressed with Ardent and will be coming again to the next round and hopefully be able to finish more than 1 round.

I was not happy, i couldn't play with you guys because i broke the Master Smacker's wishbone in practice on Saturday afternoon.

Obviously the cold at Ardent made the plastics more brittle & of course when the car breaks late Saturday afternoon it's a bit hard to get spares for in time for Sunday morning & trackside shops don't stock many bits for them.

time to invest in a Mad-rat i think

I had similar problems but with DNF's set a time in round 1, round 2 there was a pile up by the wall of death so stopped then got flipped over, Then someone hit a rear wheel which broke my rear pin holder... Got a alloy one fitted now (cheers Eric), round 3 improved my time slighty, round 4 do or die time was goin well till I landed on a front wheel which snapped my top link out of the 'C' hub, race over :-(

Looking forward to racing the buggy again, just ordered a mad rat so i have plenty of spares (if needed) need to obtain some springs now (will AE ones fit ok)??

When's the next round?... I really really would love to have a drive..I suck but have lots of enthusiasm

I Have just replaced my busted X-pro green shocks with some big bore Traxxas shocks (very nice) and I'm about to go Brushless...was hoping to try the car out at Ardent now that I'm only a couple of hours away

Hint - get longer ball studs to put through the C hub with a nut on the other side should prevent that happening again.

AE sort of fit, Kyosho fit better but there are 3 spring rates for these cars apart from the kit one's, they're actually ok and better than the kit black. I run purple (soft) all round on mine and red (med) occasionally.

Thanks for the hint, I'll try that out

I ran Kyosho springs on mine on Sunday Light green on the front and Silver (think they are Kyosho ones??) on the rear.

Bought some stagger ribs for the front, (a lot of drivers seem to be running these on Sunday!!) these have been fitted to some cut down Kyosho wheels and ready for next round, also want to get the Ansmann wing set (anyone know the part number please) to try and get the rear more planted

[kaylon]

I use this wing...it's a sturdy thing, need to make some new fitting holes but it's a very nice wind.

Smacker Wing

I love the added protection it gives

Are there any other Ansmann drivers going?
