I am the proud new owner of a RB WS7 and it actually runs long enough to finish a qualifier or main. Thank you Dougie!

Sunday 8/24 Electric Race Registration
Hey guys,
We don't have anyone "officially" registered for the 8/24 ELECTRIC RACE yet. We wanted to have an idea if we'd have enough to make the event go - otherwise we will just hold our normal Sunday event including nitro.
If you plan on attending, please take a second and shoot an email to:
[email protected]
Anything anyone can do to help spread the word about the race would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Everyone!

I cannot make it to the electric race now. But I should be there this weekend with my son...he can run my 1/10 4wd buggy in electric. I tried it last weekend and it handles pretty well but is slow as heck. I'll get there early so he can get alot of practice in and buld up a spot on the stand high enough that he can see over the rail.

Yesterday was one of the better weekends for turnout and racing we've had in a while.
Stober has taken it upon himself to single handedly make me regret not getting a Jammin buggy this year on a weekly basis!
Sam - Brayden has some serious skills for 4 going on 5 year old. I think if you ask him if he would rather race or have a birthday party next Sunday, he would probably choose to race!

Ed - Big thanks for letting him run...I mean, beat! Your buggy/truck thingy. He's still a little young for racing, maybe next year. I took him because I had to or I couldn't come. Now he's going to throw a fit any time I go without him. That was funny when he stopped during the race to watch the other cars do the big jump and said 'Did you see that car, it jumped really far! Yes, Brady...now go!'
Most of his trouble was with the 180 turns (wanted to take everything on power) and getting his little hands around the controller.
I can't catch a break, ran out of fuel twice and blew out another front tire. I'm going to have to start roughing up the tire bead and wheel before glueing Losi tires.
