rtypeC,
We had fun on Sat. 19 guys in the 19T class which makes it a very exciting 10 car A-main. Luckily the track was very wide open so there are enough room for everyone to spread out. Both me and Mike's "fish" made the A, but I selected the wrong gear ratio in the A which makes me nothing more than a "moving dot" for the rest of the folks
I also figured out a pattern at SoCal, my finishing position usually alternating between "A" and "B" mains. If I was in the A this week, then next week I'll be in the "B". So I won't be racing this weekend...lol Actually, it's V-Day (Valentine's day) and no matter how nice and supportive the wife is with my racing...I think she'll have my head if I race on V-Day

Ko Racer those batteries worked great. I gave them a workout in 19 turn witha D5 hand wound motor. Had lots of punch and topend. Need a little better setup and more stick time at the track I was at. 1.189 at 20 but they ran just like my 1.179 stuff at 30 I have so numbers don't always matter. Car was ripping fast.

Glad to see that you are going to keep John Bull on his toes with those Cudas
I got 5th in the A this weekend, although in my defence it was a tight indoor track on a polished wooden floor.... and I was running a one-way up front
.... have the car set up for outdoors and didnt want to change it!!! Still, had a blast using the brakes like a handbrake in a rally car!!!
