Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette Well, third comp of the year is done. http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/P1010026.JPG The starting point for the comp could have been better for Sofi. No training after the last comp. Luckily the rig is still as good as it was last time. 8) http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/P1010268.JPG Going for the first course. http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/P1010270.JPG Seven drivers were in this comp. Sofi started well on the first course. "thumbsup" http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/P1010275.JPG Going for bonus gates! :mrgreen: http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/P1010278.JPG On the third course the mood turned. DNF on gate nine meant, that Sofi's name was gonna drop down in the list... :cry: http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/P1010279.JPG Few dumb gates on the courses is just too much in comp like this. But luckily though, it's all about the lack of training. Just more wheeltime ensures the good basic performing. "thumbsup" http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/P1010281.JPG Rig is working excellent and now there's only one way from here. ;-) <iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/IIy3GD_d8aQ?feature=player_detailpage" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> First course on video. This was the best performance of the day for Sofi. This kind of driving would be needed for every course. "thumbsup" http://paron.pp.fi/TULOKSET/Crawling...20Karhusuo.jpg Sevent position this time. Just training and we are back in the game. 8) Unfortunately though, Sofi can't make it to our next team event after two weeks. She'll be on the line for finnish series comp one in may. "thumbsup" |
Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette the Sarka team is pretty strong even with Sofi at the bottom off the list, top 2,, on the top and on the bottom.."thumbsup""thumbsup""thumbsup" he he he.. Nice buildtread,, love lots off pictures,, keep em coming and keep the training up you will see results at last"thumbsup" |
Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette nice video Smurfette "thumbsup" |
Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette Soon the wind will change...like Samu said - the basic performing from sofi is more than good and if she train a little bit she will catch a lot of the others very soon:mrgreen:.congrats for the new team offer little lady"thumbsup" |
Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette RFOT's Crawl Cup comp behind. Pro class wasn't the one for me this time. Comp started with good results from the first course but then few gates, more stupid mistakes and I ended up with last position in the comp:cry: What is sure is that no blame on the rig it works like a dream. More practise for me perhaps :mrgreen: Still, after every comp I've got a bit more knowledge of Smurfette. So training, training and more training. Hopefully better results next time! "thumbsup" |
Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette A little update before the comp tomorrow! http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/IMG_0485.JPG Motor guards for them pullers have arrived! Thanks to Troy at Custom Fiber! "thumbsup" http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/IMG_0487.JPG Now attached. Awesome product this. 8) http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/IMG_0488.JPG Ready to scratch them! :lmao: http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/IMG_0489.JPG It will be finnish series opener tomorrow in middle part of Finland, Kuopio. Famous for beign probably the northermost comp in the world. :twisted: http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/IMG_0497.JPG Last comp didn't went so well. There is eight drivers registered and I would say top five is there to be taken. It all depends on the day. "thumbsup" Fingers crossed for a good one! |
Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette Good luck! My little girl likes to say...... "Girls rule, boys drool!" |

Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette Another pro comp done with Smurfette! 8) http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/P1010005.JPG All set for takeoff. http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/P1010262.JPG Sofi drove quite well in pro all day. No stupid mistakes like in shafty. http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/P1010263.JPG And the rig. Well. It's working! 8) http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/P1010264.JPG Course one here. http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/P1010265.JPG Sofi finished three out of four courses. Same that I did. "thumbsup" http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/P1010267.JPG Every second behind the wheel is improving her driving. ;-) <iframe width="854" height="510" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wG0mIVVhs34" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Course two here. Third best score from this course to Sofi! "thumbsup""thumbsup" http://paron.pp.fi/TULOKSET/Crawling...20CRAWLING.jpg There's still some cathching up to do before the final break thru! But the direction is correct. http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/IMG_0514.JPG Smurfette is ready for the next challenge tomorrow. http://pnc.pp.fi/RC/CRAWL/RFOT%27s%2...a/RFOTs_C5.gif RFOT's Crawl Cup Comp 5 will be driven in southwestern part of Finland. Rauma. Unfortunately there is only four registered drivers to pro class, but every comp counts! 8) As usually pics and video will follow next week. "thumbsup" |
Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette Nice driving ..... the truck (and driver :mrgreen:) flows so smooth together. "thumbsup" |
Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette We are back from RFOT's Crawl Cup Comp five! "thumbsup" http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/P1010399.JPG Here is Sofi going for the third course. http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/P1010403.JPG Smurfette working great as always. 8) http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/P1010404.JPG Sofi didn't quite have as good day as she had in previous comp. It seems to change between her two rigs and the comps. :) http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/P1010406.JPG She managed to drive one course to the finishing gates. But I'll have to admit that the courses were made to get a good practice for Nordics. http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/P1010407.JPG This was yet another good four courses of training. Sofi's main target is in November at Eurocrawl. 8) <iframe width="854" height="510" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/I05xOSQMDtA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Here is the fourth course on video, which Sofi was able to finish. And with a decent -35 point score! "thumbsup" http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/P1010410.JPG Four rigs in the comp and Sofi was able to place on third. http://paron.pp.fi/TULOKSET/Crawling...15%20Rauma.jpg Here are the results. There is still lot to improve. Luckily there is also many comps before Eurocrawl. "thumbsup" Sofi will now have one and a half month crawl free time and she returns to it in July. Then the true training will start on it's full force. :flipoff: |
Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette congrats on the podium,, 3 place is good.. you have extremly tough competition from the rest off team SARKA.. GO GIRL!!! |
Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette It's been a looong time without updates. But the rig and the driver are coming back to action and start training for EuroCrawl in November. "thumbsup" http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/IMG_0547.JPG In the mean time, I did shoch tech for it. http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/IMG_0548.JPG Ready to hit the rocks next weekend in the third round of Finnish National Series. Sofi will return from her travels on tuesday, so there will be no testing and training before the comp. So no bigger goals. The training starts here! 8) |
Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette how are those scx10 shocks?? I have been thinking about some rcbros shocks`??? are they worth the money,, and do they leak... |

Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette my girl loved the skins...now i have to get here something like these...she is being picky with em too. great looking rig. |
Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette So, time to start racing again tomorrow. Have to say that I might have some pressure on me because it has been while since I've driven last time. :ror: Samu has been taking good care of the rig so I think that driving tomorrow will be as pleasant as always! All in all it's just good to have some training before the big comp in November "thumbsup" |
Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette you are exteremly lucky to have Samu as a mechanic,,,he he he.. I dont trust the best mechanic out there with my crawlers,,, need to do all the work myself so I know what is done and how it`s done... so when something break I can only blame myself,, or the vendors... he he he |
Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette First comp in long time is now behind. With a good result! "thumbsup" http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/P1010351.JPG Terrain was the best that this part of the country can offer. http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/P1010330.JPG Sofi starting course two. http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...15/l9Hxptb.jpg Some nasty sounds were in the air from the front axle. All that wheelspeed... :flipoff: Probably one of the bearings or gears is starting to give up. http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...15/pCjvRuW.jpg Courses of saturday were really tough. Only few drivers managed to get to the finish on the courses. So didn't have any luck in terms of going to the finish, but bearing in mind the break from driving, this was a great result. http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...15/T3eySoE.jpg Here is Sofi leaving to the final course. http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...15/ETJZHDB.jpg Sofi's strenght compared to the other drivers was tactic in this competition. Just trying to get to the finishing line no matter what. "thumbsup" http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...15/iHLTkXt.jpg Another really tricky gate on the third course. http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/P1010352.JPG Last course was cancelled due the heavy rain which started during it. PICTURES: Heikki Halme & Arttu Ahtiainen <iframe width="854" height="510" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/E_MgzQ-ak20" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> And here is Sofi on the really hard first course. Only three drivers made this to the finish. Sofi drove well and managed to get to gate nine. 8) http://paron.pp.fi/TULOKSET/Crawling...20CRAWLING.jpg Sixth position of a twelve driver field. That's respectable after one month break. ;-) Next comp will be after few weeks. The Finnish Series continues in south-eastern part of Finland. Before that, I think we'll check the front axle and do some training? "thumbsup" |
Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette Cool video!! The worst part about that course is all the foliage everywhere!! |
Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette A comp behind and feeling good about the result. Actually I'm surprised that I did that well because those tracks weren't easy! Driving with Smurfette feels still really nice even though this time the front axle made some nasty sound. Now I'm just trying to keep my training on. It's still lot to do before EuroCrawl:) |
Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette Time to make this thing ready for the comp on tomorrow! http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/IMG_0623.JPG Some front axle problems have been discovered. (Or heard) :flipoff: http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/IMG_0624.JPG Yepp. That's our guy! :evil: http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/IMG_0625.JPG Put a new gear in and tore it back together. http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/IMG_0627.JPG Had to solder the wires back together. The black wire got dismounted in our practice last weekend. http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/IMG_0629.JPG All set. Should be another pretty day on the rocks! "thumbsup" As usual pics and vids will follow! 8) |
Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette looking good,, I have broken that same gear a few times myself,,and ALWAYS that gear... |
Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette |
Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette Wow!!! |
Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette what happent??? looks like alot going wrong at the same time,, he he he |

Round four of Finnish National Series is in the books now. http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/P1010020.JPG Comp ground was really tough. Lots of sharp edges and tons of grip on the rocks. http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/P1010385.JPG These pics are from the last course. http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/P1010386.JPG Sofi had a couple of good courses and couple of small misses. Allthough it has to be said, that the courses were really tough this time. http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/P1010389.JPG She did well especially on the second course, where she managed to get better score than most of the guys! "thumbsup" http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/P1010391.JPG I didn't give her too many tips this time. This was just to get the basic performing better. http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/P1010432.JPG Bad luck on the last course... http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/P1010435.JPG Both of the upper suspension screws snapped. :flipoff: Time to put steel hardware there. <iframe width="1280" height="720" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wLEdto8zF18" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Here is the second course on video. Really good driving! 8) http://paron.pp.fi/TULOKSET/Crawling...02.2%20PRO.jpg And here are the results. With this type of courses, every course which was finished was a big plus! "thumbsup" Next comp will be after one week. The last round of Finnish Series in western part of Finland. Till then some fixing! :flipoff: |
Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette Thanks for the updates Samu...... And bad luck but it happens. Great job Sofi and that does look like wicked rock to play on. I can see blood oozing from legs after a day there! |
Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette Time for another pre comp update! http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/IMG_0646.JPG I put longer screws to hold the rear suspension. :ror: http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/IMG_0647.JPG Otherwise it's pretty much ready to compete this one. Over ten registered drivers to the final competition of Finnish National Series this year. Should be a good fight! Sofi is currently eight at the championship points, but with a good comp it's possibly to gain many postitions. Fingers crossed for Sofi! "thumbsup" |
Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette Don't forget Loctite! Lmao!! |
Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette All five comps of Finnish RC Crawling Series are past now. A real suprise came on the last comp. 8) http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/P1010002.JPG In the morning weather was pretty, but unstable. http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/P1010016.JPG Sofi feeling confident in the drivers meeting. :mrgreen: http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/P1010192.JPG In the middle of the comp a little rain stopped by. :ror: http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/P1010280.JPG After that we were ready to continue on third course. http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/P1010284.JPG After two first courses Sofi was on the third spot! :shock: http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/P1010288.JPG She made the best score to the first course and drove really well on the second too. http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/P1010289.JPG This third couse was really slippery cause of the rain. http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/P1010294.JPG But Sofi continued driving really well. http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/P1010302.JPG In this couse she hit two markers. http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/P1010310.JPG And on the last one she drove well and was able to finish it. http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/P1010311.JPG No bigger mistakes in the whole day meant, that the result could be really good. 8) http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/P1010322.JPG Finishing the third course. http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/P1010340.JPG Really nervous at the prize ceremony. :lmao: <iframe width="1280" height="720" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/sry_YNZgmqU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Here is video from the first course. Best score of all drivers from this one. Pretty awesome driving! "thumbsup""thumbsup" http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/P1010360.JPG After the little excitement on the prize ceremony, Sofi heard her name third last! "thumbsup" First podium in Finnish Series pro class! Phenominal driving! :mrgreen::mrgreen: http://paron.pp.fi/TULOKSET/Crawling...02.2%20PRO.jpg Sofi left behind some seriously talented drivers! Her basic level with this rig seems to be there already. And we still have a lot of time before EuroCrawl. 8) http://paron.pp.fi/TULOKSET/Crawling...02.2%20PRO.jpg In the series points Sofi ended up in sixth spot! That's really respectable in this field. Congratulations Sofi! "thumbsup" Smurfette will be on action next time in the middle of october on our local comp and right after that in november. So it's two more comps to go before the big one. EuroCrawl! 8) |
Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette Congratulations Softy!! Great day even with the rain. Continue your progress and improving [emoji122] [emoji41] [emoji122] [emoji41] |
Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette Great job, Sofi! Rain shows always who did have the right feeling!! |
Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette Wow, an excellent job there, Sofi. Coming in 3rd after two world class drivers is a great accomplishment. And if school hadn't gotten in the way of comp #2, you'd be in great shape in the overall standings. "thumbsup" |
Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette Congrats,excellent driving and good to see a girl in this men-domain "thumbsup" |
Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette Thank you all for your congratuations! Feelings after these few comps are great! I've had ups and downs but luckily the last Finnish crawling series comp went extremely well! Rauma is amazing location to drive even though the weather wasn't that good. I think that tracks gave a lot of challenge but I manage to calm my nerves down. Now when Samu had fixed Smurfette it was back in shape and driving with it was as phenomenal as always "thumbsup" Actually third place was a huge surprise for me. I knew that I had driven well but so had other drivers too. I guess that in this comp everything fell into place and that's why I ended up third! Also it was really nice to improve my position in our series. Now there few more comps to drive in Finland and then it's time for EuroCrawl! |
Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette Beginning to get set for the comp on 17th. http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/IMG_0678.JPG I had set of ripped VooDoos, so I thought I make non-slidy MT-4's for us! "thumbsup" http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/IMG_0667.JPG Rig is working well, so there was nothing to do on it's behalf. Comp is second to last before EuroCrawl. Basically maybe last with a proper dry rocks. We'll see if Sofi's amazing performances will continue! "thumbsup" |
