I noticed if you "roll" the car more and the motor and batteries come back cooler you didn't use the batteries to the full potential. If the batteries come back cool they are not discharging. In stock class I would run IB3800's and come back with 8 to 12 seconds left! Use it all!!! Let the stock motor work... It will still be fast at 130 deg. as long as the batteries are the same temp.

Spare parts?
Anyone have BMI 12th scale parts in stock?
I broke a T brace last night and Jason doesn't have any cut right now.

not that this helps you guys now, but if you are not going to run tubes, I would cut off the mounts for the tube on the t-brace. this will make it a lot harder to brake the t-brace. with the tube mount, it extends pas the edge of the chassis.

t brace
Jason,
When you make a t-brace for him, can you make me an extra one as well?
I'll feel a lot safer with a spare.
