Well, since I'm getting to my room realativly early tonight (only 2 hours of sleep on Thursday morning ... worst night) but best is 5 hours while running both onroad and oval.
I've got the only Darkside cars running on road, but it looks like Mr. Darkside will be selling a few more, as the oval crowd has all the parts that can be transfered to complete the basic kit.
The "Enduro" car has made quite a stirr. Assuming the pit crew does not fumble, we should be able to change the battery in less than 3 seconds. getting the car into the pit, will probably take longer. We have not seen the KSG car, but it is believed to have quick change front tires and something for the rears. With Mr. Darkside and Smyika drive we stand a VERY good chance of a win. But this will be a race to avoid "The Big One"
I believed that there were a lot of Darkside racers out there, fun to meet a lot of them at this event. I know Eric is working hard on his car and with some luck, he should move much closer to the front in the final round.
My 21.5 car is better than Omaha and feeling pretty good in COT. The 1/12 scale car is solid, but slow .... well not in a straight line ...... thanks to Fantom motors. Same thing in WGT thanks to T-Bang Hobbies in Canada .. motor is good I just have not got the car to work well. The rest of the Colorado crew can tell you that the traction level is not as good as our track in Denver, but it is getting there.
I'll take some pictures of the Enduro car and post ... with E's .. approval on Sunday (I'll take some prior to the race, and then some after.

Sorry if this has been asked before but I went back a few pages and did not see an answer. What are you using to mount the servo flat in the 1/12 th cars and what servo is most popular? The JR DS3421 that I have seems too big and won't fit with the horn centered between the front arms?
Thanks Bud
