Are you planning on going to ECC? If so, your gonna need a BL esc anyway.

Can you still get the motros we used last year? I had to borrow one last year, I dont have one. I also dont want to change my car up to run brushed stuff. So were in the situation Russ was in, what to do? Nobody is stopping you from running what we ran last year. IDK about you, but I can use more motor on that track

Russ, since we run foam tires, the tire size play into gearing as well, so if you spec'd gears, you'd have to keep tire size in consideration as well.

Honestly gee this is for charity and fun not for the title for the world champ I don't see how roll out is going to make anyone mad or whatever it's for fun anyways. I know your faster than me and the only way for me to beat u is for u to break. I don't think we should worry about tire size

If its all for fun and doesnt matter, then why worry about specing a motor?

Considering the size of the track and the size of the cars, it doesnt matter what motor we run, it will always be decided by the driver IMO

Gee, you racing MiniZ this year?

BTW - MAJOR HOOK UP FROM ATOMIC RC in prizes. The list is impressive and insures that EVERYONE will leave with something cool this year.

Talk to your bud S. Patterson, he should have an extra to loan or if push comes to shove I can loan you mine, but it ain't that fast.

Thanks, we will see. I think it may be more likely I would run a dnano, ken has like 6 of them, and multiple radios. Any reason you limit those to 15? ( I know its an exhibition class)

Got it. We should be sending out weekly confirmations from this point so you will get an email from me confirming receipt again.

It freaked me out becuase your checks look JUST like mine.

Only 15 dNanos becuase we want to run only one set of heats with the 15 cars AND we don't plan on changing the layout.

To really make this good we need to have some interchangeable pieces to take out and shorten the track. We'll see if we can do that for this year.
