Nope, not dead... just hanging out at the gas track all summer. I still have Gas Nat's in a month and then it will be all carpet. I am looking forward to the new brushless motors and bat's. I have conventional equipment, but it is quite apparent that brushless is going to be the new faise. I am leaning towards the Ready/LRP. I currently run LRP esc's and have always liked Ready motors. Although the latest Orion motors with that crazy end bell has turned my motor maintenance into ..."none"! Without starting a bat/motor war thread, has anyone else put together a Ready/LRP with IB3800's yet and like the results?

Hey "the guy with my tent"! Naw, can't make that one this year. I will have a big work load around that time and it's too close to Nat's. Thanks for the offer. Have fun though! Scott and Rich are going. Scott is really getting tuned up. He should be laying down!

Hey Brian,
Not even sure if the LRP/Reedy B/L is even available yet. One thing I know is do not even bother with the Novak GTB... Ellis bought one last week, put it in his truck to do a test.... puff of smoke came out while he was setting it up on the bench! Needless to say, he wasn't pleased and now in a box going back to Novak.
But as I was told, the IB3800 has more runtime and voltage compare to the 3700. So I guess the 3800 are better, period.

Bill, Jim, Brian etc,
We are looking forward to a great indoor carpet season, there should be some good turnout in 12th scale this year at Stockton. We had a strong stock season last year and I'd like to do 19T and play with Mod a few times just for the hell of it. I'll always come back to stock though, thats where the most drivers are.
Bill,
If you don't stop that I'll start blushing
I'll probably use the MS2.2 for 19T but I'm not set on that.

Brian,
I have been running the reedy/lrp bl in my sedan with IB3800 for close to a month now and love it.
The IB3800s are averaging about 30sec more run time than the GP37s and their latest batch is yielding a higher % of the 1.195-1.205 cells than GPs right now with the highest discharge energy packs in the low to mid 1.19 range.
The Sphere speedo works great in both bl and brushed modes and does not suffer from the thermal problems the novak does. The Neo-1 motor is performance equivalent to about a 9T in my sedan and feels strong all heat. The Novak 5.5 motor is supposed to be a bit faster and will work with the lrp speedo.
