If it turns out to NOT be a hand out for this class, I will post the required motor by mid-week). Any motor/battery combo for mod. I'll post the dimensions and such in a couple days, but there won't be anything unusual there. Thanks for your patience.
Dune, if it helps you guys, i would suggest the robotronic 300 motor for both stock classes. It has worked well for us in M18's in the MRL, not too fast, not too slow. good speed for stock, and it should work well in the pan cars a well. motors are cheap and durable, and seem to be consistent from motor to motor.

It's on the 'short list'! Will make the call in the next couple of days. Even if it doesn't end up as the 1/18 tc motor, it is likely to be the pan car motor. Will let you guys know asap.

I am running the 1/14 open class. Mainly becasue I want to run Lipo.
I am thinking of running a brushed motor? Maybe the Duratraz Vr3.

If it were up to me, we would be able to practice till around 11 Sat. night and open around 6am Sun.
I'll have a talk with the owners and see what we can do.
You can count on what was previously posted, and we will try to get some more. We will take the jumps down and open practice up on Sat after racing... Not sure how long we can hang out.. Will let you know asap.

We are very close to a decision on the stock 1/18 motors. Hand outs will be the same for 1/18 4wd tc and 1/18 2wd pan. stock 1/18 pan will be 4 cell 2/3 ....
What will be the stock hand out motor for the 1/18th 2wd pan class?
