YES!!! We finally had good showing for the 1/8GT class in both Electric and Nitro power in SoCal, Wahoo!!!.

But, I can assure you by the next race there will be one less Nitro powered car and one more electric powered car. There's no doubt BL power makes these cars rock and is way less hassle to race. Good bye starter box, fuel, igniter, flame outs...... hello "plug and play". Not only are the BL cars much much easier to race they are stupid fast and electric braking is hands down better than mechanical brakes on cars this size.

LOL, and it was the first time Eric put that car on a race track. His converted Losi is pretty awesome.

What was cool is we had a mix of chassis, GTP2e, DM1-S, Converted Losi, Converted Tamiya, and maybe a couple others I didn't know about.

These cars were turning in lap times competitive with the faster 1/10 cars.
