Joe Ford and Castle Creations are nice enough to sell people who are racing in stock and who do not have a brushless esc a Sidewinder at a very good price. This is great for the hobby. He even let 4 people "borrow" Sidewinders. Problem is, these 4 people who "borrowed" them did not return them and now he is out the money. NOT COOL. Now, for good reason, we may not be able to do the deal on speedos again.

Come forward and send Joe the money. Put it in an envelope and send it to Castle Creations to the attention of Joe Ford.

Lets leave it at that! No other comments needed on this subject.

Wes, I'm sorry dude. I usually try not to be a distraction to you as you're usually running 6-7 classes each big event. I respect your driving, your work with castle and your help and info here and on other boards. Again, sorry and congrats on the 2wd stock title. I hope Ron, Greg and I were able to put a little pressure on ya.

MX4racer.....I hear ya. Some of the not so great marshalling was not entirely from kids, but hey.....I still had a great time and will be back for my 6th next year.

It was also good to see a lot more Vendetta buggies out there this year.....especially those two in the spec class.

Do we have any results of the top finishers of all classes and what they were driving/using?

Also there was mention of a possible new AE vehicle? Any more info (separate thread if need be).

Dieselpower.....Don't ever let that stop you from saying hi...I will always be running a lot of classes but I don't get to see you guys but once or twice a year......trust me, I like to talk with everyone.....I will always make time....

The New toy us Castle guys were playing with was the new cm-20 9600kv motor which Tom Loranger and myself decided to strap into our 4wd trucks...
We got the box just before the qauls......Lets just say both of us had a great big smile on our face after the first pull of the trigger.......These motors are awesome!!!!!!!!!!! They will be available asap....
The other new but still in testing is the 26mm cans that I have been running...the one I have is a 6800kv and is perfect for all the bigger cars and trucks.....I ran it first at the touring car nats in my recoil but didn't get the car working well enough with the extra weight, so I wasn't able to turn it up all the way so ppl could get the wow factor that I have seen.....Was going to run it in my MLST but kept stripping gears so I had to go with a 8000kv in it instead....This will be the must have motor for the Detta's, Recoils, Monsters, and whatever else you want to bolt it into.....

Braved the weather on the drive home to nurse a sick wife and kids hahah.

Chris and Dean, and Monty that was a ton of fun! Great event well organized, announced and run! I actually got to wheel a truck around the track for some of those jumps (thanks Joe!!) and I'm hooked, you'll definitely see me there w/ a vehicle competing next year .

I'd like to congratulate Ashley Villar, SkyRocket team driver, on her TQ and win in stock rally car! Also to Joe Villar her pit cheif for doing a great job setting up the car and getting her to the track .

That was a great event there was a great turnout considering the economy, and people drove from all over (Pierre you are the man!). There was a ton of great racing and the track was laid out very well to showcase the skills of the drivers.

But most of all I'd like to say THANK YOU to the RC Madness crew for their support and to all the sponsors for their support of the event.

We'd like to invite everyone down to Mimi's The Track for the MRL finale happeneing in 2 weeks (Check the MRL thread/flyer).

Pics and vids from the 1/18th Indoor Offroad NATS 2009 located here:

http://www.rccars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2932

Thanks to you all! It's always great getting to hang out with each and every one of you. Glad to hear everyone seems to have made it home safe.

Pierre...you da man! Thanks for your help out there, and I hope to see you again soon!

As I told Dean, no worries on the ESCs that I didn't get back. We'll have to take measures next year to keep it from happening though.

If any of you would like the full size images let me know which ones (they're numbered), and I'll get them to you. Email me at joeford@castlecreations.com
