If you're experiencing any odd smell from your VST motor even though it's not very hot it's due to an earlier production step. The earlier production motor stators were dipped in a certain solution that was giving them that warm/sweet scent, we have since changed the process to remove the smell. It makes no difference to performance or durability. Most of the stators that were dipped stop smelling after about 20 packs, maybe less.

The Cactus went very well for us, the equipment was running great and our drivers ran very strong. We had Viper equipment in the 13.5 2wd, 13.5 4wd, 13.5 truck, and 4wd SCT A-mains. Unfortunately Billy broke in the A2/final 4wd SCT main (that class only ran double A-mains, so no throwout result).

Billy also claimed the coveted BQ spot in 2wd mod, just missing the main. Slightly disappointing but shows the equipment was right there. The 2wd mod class field only came second in depth to probably the worlds, full factory drivers all the way to the E main .

Andrew had a really bad start in the 2wd 13.5 main and drove an excellent race to make it back to 4th, he could have won the race with a better start, his car was dialed .
The last corner/jump bobble in the 4wd 13.5 main was the hairiest spot on the track, unfortunate but could have happened to anyone. Andrew drove a great race and was fast all weekend. Cav passed Tebo from the exact same scenario in the last corner of the 2wd mod A3.

Overall the race went very well and the results reflect that
