No restriction on how long a driver is driving. Drivers can drive his own car or drive his partner car if the partner is okay.
Team that completed 600 laps finish first, just like in Formula 1 .
Last time my friend enter 6 hours endurance race

about 2 years ago, I drove a 500 lap race in Montgomery, AL. Did all the driving by myself with 1 pit person. I only used 1 set of tires, I went to BSR rubber cap tires for endurance, and used over a gallon of fuel. After awhile, my eyes felt like they were stuck open, I got tired on the drivers stand, and it was like being hipnotized.
I won that race by only 1 min 30 seconds ahead of second. The way they did it was everybody that was still running had to complete the 500 laps, unless you withdrew. It was a race sponsored by Sidewinder, and it was a money race. You got paid by the number of laps you ran, and by the place you finnished.

Yours 500 laps = how many hours ?
Mine 1 hour = 190 laps for average group A drivers
BTW, you did all the driving by yourself for 500 laps ??

Anyway, if i were to install the post the other way, the rear top arm will be touching the rear post which i don't think is healthy and probably got to dremel down the rear top arm ball end or the rear body post.
Thanks once again !

All laps driven by myself. 2 battery packs. 3 in the car. Team was alowed 3 drivers and 1 pit person. the three drivers could have been used as pit people, but my budy and I traveled 12 hours to get there and race. He also had a 500 lap race too, driven all by him.

Sorry, lame question... is mtx4 starter box same as mtx 3 ? No need to change post location, etc ? Do you have some idea how to use the same starter box for 3 and 4 ?

i would think it probably won't fit perfectly because of the different chassis design. but i'm not 100% sure....

The starterbox positions are very close between the 2 cars just some minor adjusting is needed

Technically, it has been released in the US...
However, unless you already have one, you can expect to wait another month or so to get one.
Price? Your guess is as good as any. They are going anywhere from 400 - 600 dollars. Hope they go down!
