Small World...if you ever come back down, we have some very nice tracks and great competition in the area now. I think Rick retired, but Benji is still practicing?

That is ashame, but not surprising. Let me know when you come down...we have four Great tracks. One in Asheboro, and then three within one hour of Asheboro. They all run alternate weekends, so it just depends on the weekend that you come down on where you can race.

Well have a gallon through my Argus now. Went to the track to practice yesterday. So far so good. Still has some mechanical pinch but can start it up without heating anymore, just takes a little longer to warm up. Runs great. Got a lot of sure sounds good, runs good. Then they asked what kinda motor it was and Id tell them a Argus and the next reply was what the hell is a Argus. So then Id spend the next few mins telling them what a Argus is. But most seemed impressed. I have a race Sat. So ill let you all know how it goes.

No I have not seen anything I dont like. I ran Alpha motors last year and my son is Dynamite/ Spektrum sponsored and runs the Xpe. The same great quality as those motors, we have ran Rb, Nova, Go, and the motors we ran last year were the best motors we have ever ran. I did put a few tanks on an Argus for a friend on my break in bench, felt very smooth and very little vibration.
