Race Results
We are getting closer to fixing the problems with JLAP. I have been able to recover the lap times for all of the heats of all races in the series so those will be available at the store. Working on getting the points next. We had an option checked that the software guys had not tested, so a fix will be installed tonight.

Is the diamond bit really worth the money? Is the carbide bit stronger and more durable than the diamond bit?

More than like they have a motor with like 55 winds on it so the extra voltage is needed to make it spin a little faster or equal to what a stock 27 turn motor would turn at 2 volts.

ken, either run that mod motor at 2v or pick up an integy 55T lathe motor. its what i have in mine and i turn at 12V. also nice because its a bearing motor, not bushing like a stock motor. less vibration.
