Due for release in 2024....

Looks like Tyler Jones has got his hands on one and will be running it at AMS 2023.

Results have nothing to do with if the car is any good or not. Lack setup knowledge for surface and speed was major factor. Ebuggy wasn’t really a “prototype”. It had Sparko front and rear clips and that was it. Tyler and I worked hard all weekend on both. Both were getting balanced and extremely fast by end of weekend. Some wrong tire choices hurt too. Nitro car was good enough to make the A pretty quick. But, the new WC in 2wd thought it was ok to punt Tyler second lap of Super pole and it’s hard to come back from the back when it’s a single line race track. Ebuggy definitely took lot of work but it was capable of making the A also. Lots of rough driving played a big role in the results too. Nitro buggy B main, Tyler’s car was destroyed in the beginning and ended up with a bent and cracked D plate with a bent shock shaft but he still drove it as hard as he could. Ebuggy B main in first one was rough driving and in the second B main, he had another motor burn up.

This was the first time I’ve got to watch Tyler drive the cars and I’m damn happy with them and so is he! He got lots of compliments on the cars all weekend.

I wouldn’t call that a punt. Tyler went wide on what looked like a mistake by the way he cut in hard and unfortunately Sontag was on the inside. I wasn’t there to see it in person, but from the angle on liverc, it looks like a mistake. I don’t think Sontag meant for that to happen.

I was there. His dad was pitting next to me in pit lane and said that was totally my kids fault. And said Tater deserves whatever Tyler says or does to him. Was no mistake, Tyler had inside line and was driven through.

Default Servo fitment !!!!!

Can anyone chime in on whether a protek 170sbl servo will fit without any chassis modifications? The reason I ask is because I see that the servo lead is larger than normal were it plugs into the servo. Thanks
