Mud. There was so. Much. Mud.
PE4 was a success for the car. I took home first in MF (out of 2) and 2nd overall (out of 13 or 14). The car held together very well and is feeling much more solid. I haven’t had a chance to try to perfect the alignment, though, because the entire car is just coated in clumps of dirt.
The biggest problem I had was with tires. The old mud tires just don’t want to hold a bead, so I’m going to need to do something about that. Otherwise, though, everything is running five-by-five!
