I don't count Ty out by any means and wheeler should be a better class for him, as he has more time on that car. The question for me is how well will the HB wheeler do on Astro. Right now I think it could easily go either way, though I expect to see him much higher than he was in 2wd.
I'm interested in what the wheeler side will bring in the form of new cars or new parts for existing cars and how well those perform.

don't know why those guys never caught on... but it seemed like spencer was the only one going double-double into the 5-spice section. everyone else double singled-singled-singled.
the great equalizer seems to be the jumps/obsticles. Unlike the EOS tracks where there is only 1 or 2 jumps there wasn't a single lane (except for the straightawya) that didn't have a jump, roller, or something in the way. US guys know how to fly a car in the air... can't say the Euros do or not but that seemed to be the difference maker a la Neil Cragg and the table top.

Good write up from Teufel Racing.
From where I saw it (through the computer screen like most of us...hahaha) it looked like Rivkin's speed through the stutter bumps was what won the worlds. You could see it in A1 when he chased down Tebo early (before crashing) - and made most of that ground in that section of the track. He was dynamite there (going double-double-single as against Tebo's single-double-single-single), and forced Tebo to push super hard everywhere else (I think leading to mistakes).
Just for fun, and from a distance, here's my read on the event: http://www.actionrc.com.au/?p=10461

Thanks for the kinda words as well,
I read yours and it's a very good read too. Well done sir.
The only thing I didn't say much on for A1, is I thought Tebo may have driven just a touch too much on the safe side while getting the win. His pace up to that point was a bit faster, just not as clean. So I would think his approach may have been to do just enough to get the win without making mistakes, even if that meant giving up a little to Rivkin, Cav, and Cragg. That way you have a solid A1 to build off of and then maybe push harder in A2 or A3 if need be. Which of course did not play out very well.

There were no HobbyWing ESCs in the Top 10.
Were there any racers using a HobbyWing ESC. Is so what was the best placing?
Is there a list anywhere of the Final results with what they raced. I've only found the Top 10 list with Buggy, ESC and Motor brands.

I saw a video of the track last night. The 5 spice starts right after the first part of the corner then carries all the through the exit.
