Seen your car there when I had to drop off a couple times to adam. Was you using that 13.5? and what run times was you getting with your full size packs?

Our tires were round.....pinion was smaller then the spur......motor has 3 wires on it..... battery was fully charged to start and then fully dead when done.....motor was colder then the blood running thru my veins ..... and lap times were oh so sweet! ;-)

We are still looking for more teams to sign up. We have 5 solid as of now... and 2-3 teams that are in the works. We would really like to see a full 10 teams in this race. If your wanting to race please sign up. If you wanna race and dont have a team, let us know, maybe we can see if a group of guys will join up and make a team. We practiced with my old b4.2 for 2.5 hrs last wkd, and it ran amazing. Electronics were nice and cool, tire wear was minimal, and lap times were rite on par with our normal race days. This race will be alot of fun, and to win money for once, that makes it even better!! I know there are some fast guys out there, lets see who can be the fastest and most consistent race team in Oregon.

Maybe I missed if it was already asked, but why do you "suggest" a rear motor?

The traction isn't super high grip. It is normally pretty consistent and works well with rear motor cars, but haven't had many mid motor buggys on it yet....

Ok, I figured that or that you feel the rear motor would stay cooler being its outside of the body..

Ya that helps to im sure. Honestly, we had no heat issues with my buggy after 50mins straight on a battery. Our lap times were on par with normal lap times and the power felt good. Hottest I ever saw my motor was 105 and esc was at 85...... :-)
