well i think blinky has made racing close..@ our track in dayton the top 6 are in seconds with in each other...so at any giving race you got 6 ppl that are able to win & the ones thats on the bottom half are only a half of a lap down...i think blinky is more for giving on your tires parts & electronics..(all summer i been running the same set of tires)..until last week..so thats 10+ races days & practice...the only thing i kinda wish for is that @ big races they used A hand out lock motor & a non-adjustable esc..but im cool with the way it is now...IMO
