Want to say Thank you to Speedzone for the support all year. Batteries and motors have performed awesome all year. We just finished up The Michigan State Championship Series with Michael finishing up 9th in 4x4 Shortcourse and 14th in 1/8 scale buggy. Which is very good considering this was his first year racing with the big boys(He is 12). Would have been better but dad needs to set up his cars better. I raced mainly nitro this series finishing 6th in nitro truggy and 24th in nitro buggy, but did race electric at some other events trough out the year. Power was never an issue even in the shortcourse 4x4 class or 1/8 scale buggy. The new 4 cell battery was flying all season and was very impressed with the run times and power it always deliveried. Now on to in-door and the DBRL series and Midwest Championships in a couple months.

Hey gavin, i just wanted to ask. is there any plans for a bigger shorty pack?
5000-6500mah? is it possible?
with the new 4wd cars dropping on the market able to take short packs instead of saddle packs was just wondering.
All my stuff is working great. the Speedzone motors powered by Speedpassion esc's are smooth as silk!

Wanted to give a status update on my results from the Georgia On Road Championship (GORC) that I attended this last Saturday at Hotshots Raceway in Atlanta Ga. I ran three classes (17.5 TC, 13.5 1/12, and 21.5 rubber tire F1) which meant I was in for a very busy day.
In the 17.5 TC class I knew it would be very competitive for a spot in the A-main. Hotshots is a medium size high traction track, and they were only going to run an 8 car A-main, 6 spots locked and 2 bumps from the B-main. Unfortunately I could not get any consistency from my car in qualifying. It was fairly quick, but would randomly traction roll at different spots on the track. I ended up qualifying in the 4th position in the B-main and just missed out on the bump position finishing less than 1 sec back from 2nd. My batteries were fantastic all day and provided plenty of punch, I just was not able to use the available power on track.
In 1/12 it was different story. The car was handling great and I qualified 3rd for the main. I got tangled with the 4th place car at the start, but I was able to work my way through traffic and eventually up to 2nd place. My battery was extremely consistent all day, allowing me to maintain my lap times deep into the 8-minute main.
For the F1 class my car was on fire! I managed to win every round of qualifying to give myself the TQ. Before the start of the main, the race director threw a curve ball our way, saying the main was going to be 8 minutes instead of the 6 minutes we were expecting. From the sound of the tone, I checked out. I managed to put 2 laps on the field before slowing my pace to make sure I didn't make any mistakes that might end my race. I was able to win and set a fast lap time that was .3 seconds off the average TC lap. Even though the race was 2 minutes longer than I expected I never worried about my battery letting me down.
Big thank you to Speedzone USA and Gavin for supplying me with such great products!
BTW, congratulations on the promotion Andrew. I'm looking forward to hearing your ideas.
