Also I included a custom fan mount I made up for the car. Maybe it will give someone a idea if they wanted to mount a fan. Keeps the weight low, and is adjustable if I change motor position due to gearing. Enjoy!

New car coming in a couple of weeks and asphalt season begins. Can't wait to see what this thing does outside.

Vince is a very gifted racer. The question is when is he going to start getting ready for the 1/10 Nitro World in Porter, TX this summer?

Vince is also awesome on rubber on asphalt. In the video, Vince is driving the orange XRAY 009. He might be a tad slower with his TOP car when Jackson RC starts the season on April 24th.
