cold doesn't really hurt them too bad, just make sure you preheat the motor and get it up to temp before starting to pull it hard. Otherwise just make sure it's blowing smoke and you should be fine.

Orion r8? Just make sure the fan isn't obstructed by dirt, and everything will be fine.

If it shares even the fan circuitry it will never get very hot. The Hobbywing fans are always on, so if it shares this heat probably won't be the problem. If it actually has anything else in there it will be awesome...just try not to make a butterslick behind your car

Now that 8 scale is so expensive to really race maybe 10 scale can make a come back. Less maintenance and wear with the 10 scale truck. The way the economy has been this class makes sense to run.

apparently not many. Maybe more people will be interested in the ten-t? If you all want to get a 2wd nitro stadium class started, I want in. I will buy one if everyone's getting one.

I think if I got a gasser this year I'd like a GT2 because I'm familiar with most of the components and have tons of spares. Plus its a good bit cheaper than 1/8th scale.

I talked to Drabek at SMAC today, he says hes interested in 1/10th Gas Truck also and has talked to others interested also. Bob will prolly let us run them at B&L also.

So I just ordered a Factory Team RC10GT2. $159 Factory direct from Associated. Gotta find an engine and pipe, starter box, igniter and stuff now.
