Tamiya TB-02 first run

Friday afternoon I took the TB-02 out for it's debut run at the FastCats Depot track. It was setup for open practice, so it was the perfect time to do a bit of setup work. Seeing as it didn't rain, the sugar water sprayed last Sunday was still visible. That means the layout stayed the same.

After a bit of suspension work, and adjusting camber I managed to get down to a fast lap of 14.2. A good average lap for me was a 14.5 to 14.7. This was quite a bit of improvement over the Sprint 2's time. (better by about half a second) I had a nasty clicking coming from the rear gear box that was getting louder as the day went on. It turns out the rear diff was just excessively shimmed.

Here's a video showing a few laps:
