I don't agree that the RB motors have fallen by the wayside in 1/8th On Road. Scott Kimbrow (RB, Kyosho USA and Empire Racing) runs RB's. Here is our record for 2005: We took 3 Firsts (Paris Memorial '05, Speedine Grandprix '05 and Paris Memorial '04) three seconds (ROAR Nationals '05, Great Lakes Challenge '05 and Nitro Showdown '05). We won the RAMS title by TQing and winning 7 out of 8 races.
We finished no lower than second all year - we had no DNF's that was over 21 races in '05.
We (Empire) were fast last year - plus, we finished all of our races.
Let's see what happens this year.
