05-2005 I raced the Nitro X-Cellerator for the first time at Palomar Raceway. I left it box stock on purpose for this first race. I entered the Expert Nitro Truck class and on the first qual I actually won it. Amazing eh? Stock springs and shock oil, the only things I changed where I used the SH .12 engine that I got at Hobby People on sale for 99 bucks, and the aluminum hubs front and back. OH, and I ran proline bowties in the rear, stock tires in the front. That is it. I had more than one person ask what that truck was and what the heck engine are you running in there. The SH .12 was awesome, even with the WAY to tall stock gearing of the X-C Nitro. It pulled hard down low and revs very high with power. I used the stock radio also. I did not even struggle with the stock radio, forgot it was not my MX-3 in fact.Here is the vid of the main, about 10 min of it. It is about 70 megs and requires quicktime to veiw it.

In that A main I got a top three finish with it box stock, now I am taking it on and setting it up for racing.

06-2005 Revelation Raceway:
I got TQ in Expert Nitro Truck, my first ever, the truck was so dialed. The info below reflects the setup from that race. Here is the Main Event Sheet for that race. I was running in second when a ball cup popped. On page 4 & 5 I fixed that... The truck is now dialed and I am done setting it up for the most part. I will fill out the blank setupsheet and post it soon.
