Another fun day at Rolling Ranch.We had 7 buggys racing.Renegadevtwin had a scary moment in the first race glad he was ok.Second race I made some shock adjustment and she ran great. I think I finished 4th the first race and 2nd on number 2.What sucks I led the whole time till the last 50 feet and the crafty veteran pilot driver ben saw a opening and passed me at the finish line dam it dam it dam it. Justin spun out early that helped to.
Jasons muffler fell off in the second race that is the buzzing sound.

First race second lap the wreck ...yikes

Very cool.
Card counter is there any info on your ride here anywhere?
Glad Renegade is ok too.
I've said it before,the suspension on the Revolt is just not right.I don't know how to fix it but every video you see they are struggling not to high side.

Good summary and video. I might post some video but the rear facing angle didn't work out all that well.

What happened when I passed you in the first race (2:45 in the video)? It sounds like your Engine cut out.

That spin out ruined my 2nd race but it was still fun and I got in some really fast laps trying to catch back up.

Bullnerd, this particular Revolt is especially tippy because it is narrower than usual. It was set up for GNCC races and trail riding so it is 60" wide, about 6" narrower than stock. It is better now that renegade has put on smaller tires and a rear sway bar.

Justin you are right my Engine quit...I hit the kill switch on the steering wheel ( I think or was that last race)I do that at least once a race :shock: . I think im gonna start putting tape around it and use the key for racing.Somtimes Im just not on the throttle that quick I need a gas pedal.

Thanks for posting video. Revolt is way more stable and predictable with mx tires and swaybar. It looks like I caught a rock or rut just wrong as I hung the rear end out a little throttling out of that corner. Maybe next time I will strap down some of the suspension. Still learning.
On another topic I talked to a guy with another Revolt who's interested in racing.
His is stock width with sprint car type swaybar and a turbo.

Here's my in-car video. I had the camera facing rearwards, so a lot of the time there isn't much to see and I cut some footage out of each heat.

Always good to have another angle,Did your carbs load up after the spin out.
