It's all good....less toys now means LOTS more toys later.... besides, the three outdoor tracks here are closed and there is no indoor offroad, so unless I want to drive 8 hours to the Motodome in Minneapolis, I'm stuck with carpet and rally/ice racing until April/May.

Seeing the iX8 take a win away from Ryan by 24 seconds gives me a lot of hope for the potential of this ESC, and if it's being publicly used at big events, it shouldn't be long before we have access to it!
