What motors are you guys running? A few of us in the Portland area were getting together in a garage running micros for a couple of years - was actually a really nice setup, close racing. We were running the Micro RS4, a mild brushed mod motor, 6 cell AA packs (1600 mAh if I remember correctly) and we could put in fast laps for 30 minutes or more if the cars held together. The size of the track combined with the speed of the cars made them feel very similar to 1/10th scale mod sedan. Was great practice in the off season.
