Brad-You see this on Neobuggy? 'Bayer looked a challenger to Ronnefalk with 20mins to go, but a rear tyre coming unglued meant he had to settle for 3rd, '

Bayer was using Losi reptiles. Even they fall victim to the Losi tire blow outs

I did see that Tom, I like the Eclipse tires too much though! I have discovered that if I let Ed glue my Losi tires (he said never again) I have no problems!

How was Barnstormers?

For sure on the Losi tires. I just use a careful method! B stormers was pretty amazing! Nobody had troubles. I qual 5th for the A. I lead early in the main. There were 6 of us fighting for the lead!! They were calling it 'the train' when our group would come by. It was intense with all 6 of us hanging! I finshed 6th, but same lap as the winner. that was the most # of guys shooting for the top spot that I have ever been involved with. There was some dirty ass driving at the end, but whatever...

........I thought that's where all of East Coast's finest top notch drivers raced? Must have been mislead???? Sometimes the only thing you "learn" when traveling is which places not to go back to!

Default Update on Slash Spec. class.

Too late for this year but;

1. You may turn your ESC around and hard solder your ESC wires to the motor.

2. No use of reverse during a race will be allowed.

The mod stuff has always had the rule, Altoona never had the rule in place for Slash. We will now. Penalty for using reverse will be 1 lap.

And in a general announcement. Beginning next year, you will need to have a personal transponder. We will have a few personals for rent, but will require a small fee.
