Why Not????
After realizing last year that the LST2 was the truck I was trying to convert the Savage into, Wouldn't it just make more sense to run a Losi?
Besides the whole Savage vs Revo debate was getting old.

Is this something we should be looking at ? http://cgi.ebay.ca/Bulk-Ozite-Racing...d=p3286.c0.m14
Brad and Jay, the link on this post still works. don't know why it didn't work on my email.
Is this only advantageous to have, if we run touring cars. If it is, it may not be worth it.
We don't have our usual space available to us at Evergreen until January. Since the renovations there, they have been using the space for Christmas parties.
But on the other hand the only way to get touring car races happening up here is if we have the gear to run it.

I'll take you all up on that pink's race, if I can get my hands on an LST2.
Revo's are not reliable? Lets go back to Nitrofest.I recall a certain Revo that ran 4 qualies and 2 mains in the same day.That Revo in a 30 minute main(then a 15 minute main right after and did not break)In the 30 minute main it beat 1 savage by 5 laps,another by 11 laps,another by 12 laps,and the last 1 by 35 laps(cause it was broke).All this with a Driver(in his second race ever).So how can You say a Revo is not reliable????????????? What Ya Smokin Bro??

Oh common although it is off topic the only place the Flames are going is golfing sooner than expected.

Any idea's on what we need to do to build a rock crawler hill next spring?
I have a friend who can take us out in his jetboat to scrounge up some good rocks on the river, but I'm hoping we can find some that are easier to get at.

By the way if anyone hears of the that new Summit coming out in a brushless version, let me know. I have a sneaking suspicion it won't take long to be released.

No that would be Vancouver...LOL

I was thinking and talking to Sheldon about the rock crawling thingy.. he is talking about bringing out a bunch of busted up concrete pieces and whatever he can find on the job sites as well.. we should have something to play on in the spring..

About the brushless version of the Summit.. i doubt it will come out with it considering the layout and what it is designed to do

Good idea about the concrete Sheldon.

What do you mean about the Summit? They already brought out a brushless version of the E Revo. Why do you think there would be a difference??

Changed my pionion from a 16 to a 21. I'll do a couple speed traps and temp the motor before I change my spur from a 87 to a 78.
Effectively changed my ratio from 5.43:1 to 4.14:1, and can go as high as 3.71:1.
This thing should be insane. Sure hope i don't run into anything.
