I am hoping that for indoor at least here, we see something like that (not saying no for outdoor, but I know there will probably not be a big push for that as one of the tracks is really big and mod is common for all classes already, another though, I could see it maybe next year).

I just finished a practice session yesterday, outdoors on a flowing open track.

Had the throttle pinned for at least 30% of the lap with a 6.5. At least at full throttle twice as long as my 1/8th scale.

Are ya'll running on tiny indoor tracks or something? 13.5 would have been dog slow.

Sounds like you need a 3.5, but some of us don't.
So, don't hate on those who want to have fun, not necessarily trying to go as fast as they possibly can while doing it. As we all know slow is fast!
Going 70mph down the straight won't win if you hit 65% of the pipes on the track! Just sayin...

But you WILL break more parts, so your parts supplier will be happy for sure!

Sounds like a large track with a lot of traction.

The indoor track where I race is 120ft x 60ft. Laptimes in the 17-19sec. range. Hardly reach full throttle at all except for the straight.

I run 13.5 on small indoor track and almost as fast as the fast guys but im not that consistant. But on average about 1 sec slower per lap..average lap time is 12 sec range.

Ok, that makes more sense, I suppose.

My lap times were in the 28 second range, with at least 6-7 seconds of full throttle. Longing for more power even. 26s in 1/8th Ebuggy.
