Gundam--I was at carpet nats when Blackstock won 1/12 mod. Speed and punch wise his car was no faster that any of the other top drivers even though he was running a GTX. Not saying that the GTX is slow or anything. Mike won because his line was much tighter than any of the other drivers. If a perfect lap was a 253' driving line he would drive a 252' line.
John Orr with an off the shelf Q2 could run the same lap times but just not as consistintly.
In mod something as small as a new esc is not going to mean a win or loss for anyone. I could see it being an advantage in stock, but prototype stuff is not allowed in stock.
And remember this is a hobby and its supposed to be FUN. If it becomes an issue where you must win a national and thats all that matters, maybe its time to find another hobby.
Very True Adam and yes the motor Troy built was a MISSLE!!! LOL!!
