I'll be right on his tail with a foam carpet car. Rubber tires are not near as fun as foam when the track you race at uses a zamboni to bring traction up.

You know what I'm talking about O

Randy, Are you still running a long camber link in the front of your mi3? I hope you were able to get your servo on time.

Unfortunately I dont get to run the 19 turn at the nats, it's a handout motor there, but I'll be able to see what its capable of at Vegas at least. Motors are good, took me a couple runs to get used to the different feel but I think I'm good now.

Because of the RP36 tires being a little sluggish feeling to me, I changed from 1mm to 3mm of horizontal spacing to get a little more aggressive feel. I think I have the servo thing figured out, should be here tomorrow!
