I think we will be able to make them work. Just depends on how we need to orient the speedo in our cars. We will make it work!

Last week-end was the Southwest Indoor Grand Prix
at Competition Hobbies in Tucson, Arizona! Lots of
full factory guys there, Cavalieri, Gardner, Kinwald, Pillars,
Hartson, Thielke, Numan, so far the names I could find!

Jeremy Felles, factory Hot Bodies, had another great
showing! Finished 5th after losing a tie-breaker for 4th!
Great run, Jeremy!!! Jeremy was running our new
SP speed control and our BL 5.5 motor. Jeremy finished
2nd at the ultra-competitive 4wd class at the JBRL 1st race,
I think they had about 45 entries! And now a great run
at the Tucson race! Thanks Jeremy for all your help!
GOOD JOB!!

Tyler, yes I will have "supplies" with me in Bakersfield, both
brushed and brushless! We will be there Saturday!

Casper, how dumb am I?????? I have plenty of the
longer sensor wires, I'm bringing them too on Saturday!
Could we just call them cables----- I like that better and I
can't remember sensor wire!

I only have 3 large hoodies left, all the rest are gone. So, if
you need a large hoodie, let me know.
Shirts and sweatshirts I have!

I think I will be fine Mom. We will get 'er done installing this thing and be ready. I might pick up a spare cable though as I have heard these can go out.

When I get get some of the sp motors I too will get some spare "cables". :P

That is one thing that bugs me about the novak, is that you cant replace it.

I ran a 6.5 last weekend in 2wd and the Sp esc was nice. Hookup the box, change settings. Definitely one of the easiest to tune esc's I have ever had.

I am making the switch to lipo now as well, so that should be interesting.

If any of the youngins on the team needs a few spare novak battery bars, and some trinity 4mm gold battery plugs pm me and I will send them to you.

Rick Hohwart says that they switched distributors (or something like that) for the people that make their brush compounds so they are re-figuring out what the best ones are to put back up for sale, and this includes brushes to tune the stockstar with as well, so tuning it wont really be possible until sometime in june or july cuz thats when they plan on releasing the new brushes.

What up guys...well weather is pretty nice and cool down here right now! hope it just stays that way!

But as far as pit spots where does the BanzaiNation want to pit? Do we want like what you guys had at round one(everyone together) if so I can tape of like half of the on road track and we can all set up tables and EZ ups??? that would be cool!!!! If you guys want to do that let me know. And make sure to bring extension cords.

Mom-- Ryan and I will take you up on longer sensor wires. We just bearly got the short ones to reach on the motors. Longer ones would be beneficial!
