And off course also good work from Victor & Paul!

And also (edited away: nice work) top driving from Frans Heinsbroek: overall 3rd in the stock A-finals!

I don't know how the rest of the Xray-team did. Hope to hear from them later in this thread....

A little bit better than "nice work" from Frans. He qualified in 9th for the 19 turn A-main and then blitzed from there to take third overall. His car looked amazing (ok, the 2nd final he messed up his gearing, but no-one is perfect ).

Ok I do it again (I did once in the T2 topic):

congrats Jilles, Victor and Paul (outstanding result from a foam guy).

I know that the online T2 setup sheet needs some more time to be up and running however I'd love to see all the three setups before the end of next week (we have races coming) . I liked the way like teamgp posted his setup on the rctech. Is it possible to post the setups same way just temporarily?

BTW what happened to Martin? He is a great driver and had some excellent results recently.

Joep,

I made a mess of my own efforts. Simply could not get the tyres to work well enough so lacked the grip to really attack the corners. Given the limited racing I have done the past three months (since Vegas) I had trouble adjusting my driving to a more smooth style and made too many mistakes to get a good result.

I did notice something intersting though. On the T1 type cars if I did not have any grip usually setup changes, even major ones, did not really seem to have any effect. However, using the flexible chassis and top deck tuning options I did manage to make some significant changes to the balance in the car which allowed me to get the car rolling through the corners better and better towards the end of the event.
