Tech Adept
for F1 is 25.5 going to be a long term thing? Being from AZ i only get out to TQ every so often and don't want to buy a motor i'll only use once. Also with some manufactures submitting 25.5 motor to roar for approval how does that affect to motors i can buy now? How will this be handled at TQ. I have my Yokomo car and i have completely reconfigured it and would like to test it out. Also, looks like us AZ guys are planning a run for the race on the 19th. 1/12 mod here we come again

Round 5 this Sunday !
Round 5 of the TQ RC Racing Winter Series is this Sunday Dec. 6th. The series is a nine race series with your best 5 races counting towards the end of season points championship. So for you new drivers, you can still start this weekend and get your five races in.
Three of the top Rookie Sedan drivers were at TQ tonight. 1 was practicing, two were talking smack and all three were laughing.
Looks like they are going to have some fun battles this weekend. 
Improvements have been made on the corner flappers and track barriers (to keep them in place). The flappers are longer and of an improved material so they have more flex and hold their shape. The longer flappers have resulted in lap times that are a couple of tenths slower than last races pace. However, a big improvement is how much less cars are flipping over. Hopefully marshaling will be decreased in addition to less wear and tear on car suspensions and bodies. Also helps to drive around the track barriers and not over or through them.
A couple of big shipments came in today and Ralph is getting them checked in and stocked as quickly as he can. All will be in the system by Thursday evening so check to see if that part you have been waiting for has arrived. Parts that recently arrived are:
Protoform Bodies
Tamiya parts and paints
Associated parts
Motor spray and SXT sauce
Scorpion batteries will be back in stock by Friday or Saturday.

Panda, thanks for the updates. We truly appreciate you, Ralph (and many others) keeping the machine running while Sean is recovering. Big thumps up.
