Hello everyone, I have been asked by Mrs. Wong from Homestead Speedway to sell prints of the WORLDS entry list autographed by all the entrants that were in attendance. The cost will be $15.00 each or $25.00 for two. All prints are sold without frame. The actual sign in sheet was roughly 4 feet tall by 3 feet wide. This is a copy of the original scaled down to 14" x 7 3/4" print. You can contact me @ [email protected] for additional information and payment.
Below is a picture of the actual size you will recieve without the frame.
Thank you
Billy Bowerman

High Voltage electronics or not?
Did anyone happen to notice whether the racers were generally using high voltage servos with lipo?
Or were most racers sticking with LIFE/NIMH receiver batts (regular voltage servos?).
Just wondering what the professionals do.
Appreciate.

It was a mix but I was actually surprised at the number of top drivers using NiMH, I really expected there to be a majority LiFE. I have noticed that most of my sales are to 1/8 guys but I wonder if the current super light weight of the chassis is the reason why so many top drivers still run NiMH vs LiFE.

And last thing with exploding LiPo batteries. More clubs are making rules that Lithium based batteries must be charged in a LiPo bag and with balancers to prevent the small chance of an exploding battery
