RC car 1400 km around Iceland in 3 days

Really interesting challenge with HPI BAJA 5B



Day 1 (24/6 departed 02:00 arrival 16:51 o'clock) Started our journey from Tomstundahusid in Reykjavik to Hofn in Hornafjorður. Covered 441,41km. Took 8:55,13 of driving time, 5:55,03 stopping and pit time, total time of 14:50,16 for day 1. The first 200 km took 4:01 hours.

Drove over 200km of dirt and repair roads, used the original Baja off-road tires for that section. Forgot to change the receiver battery for 5 1/2 hours (due to long dirt roads which needed a lot of attension), it was the only time in the journey that the fail safe kicked in (just after we crossed a bridge).
