Empire is
Mastery: Rick Davis
Driver: Scott Kimbrow, Current ROAR National 1/8th Champion
(West Coast) Wrench/Driver: Jim Adkins
Mouth piece/free opinions/occasional pitboy: Rich Browne

Kyosho M3 chassis
Castle Creation MMM Speed control and 2650 KV motor
Spectrum Radio

Goal: run 10 minutes per battery, 4 cell, 14.8 Lipo. Speed equal to fuel
That looks amazingly like the Fantom I was going to build. But once I figured ROAR would give me hell about the soft shell taco battery I dropped it like a hot potato. Not sure I'm a fan of the sensorless setup either. Somehow I doubt 10 min. at speed with a 4200. That is a sweet ride tho. Anyone got any ideas what that monsters gonna cost ?
