The 4th round of Czech Nationals took place last weekend on huge bumpy astro track in Usti nad Labem. Club did nice job preparing the track very well and weather forecast was looking great!
For me this was only 2nd time this year on astro and it took me a lot of time to get used to it, especially bumpy parts combined with high traction made me struggle. In Saturday morning, the track was wet after overnight rain and traction was gone. I decided to stay with my carpet cars as weather forecast was for 40 degrees Celsius and we cannot change cars during the race.
In 2wd buggy, I changed a lot on the car for wet Q1 and my XB2 was just awesome! As the traction was slowly coming back I was going step by step each run to my Friday setup and TQed all three rounds!
In finals, my Hobbywing/Sunpadow powered XB2 lead tone-to-tone in A1 and A2 and secured the overall win!
