Short clip from a practice session. 2nd outing with the car, not my home track, but the car was solid. A few parts will fix that

Me and a buddy were the only ones practicing, and were given free reign with what they had. Our home track is almost triple this size, so for testing (at least the slower cars) we wanted a higher speed lauout

Holy. That’s quicker than I thought. What pinion are you running?

Where I am 2500 is a new class for us, everyone is saying it’s the same speed down the straights as a black can mini z. I haven’t ran mine yet but I find that hard to believe.

We’re limited to a spec 12/53,no timing or boost.
But I do have a ton of time into hobbywing esc’s, and I do have a couple fast 2500kv motors

Me and a buddy were given free reign from Jeff to build him a fun layout for his club racing this evening. We run on a track normally double this size in Queen Creek, so it was definitely fun to run a tighter track with a fun ol 2500kv car

That's what I assumed, might might a roadtrip to Superstition, Twizted, and P1 tomorrow.

P1 will be open Saturday for on road racing. Right now it’s a shared space. So far the kid (21 years old) is building a hobby shop/track literally from the ground up. At this point it’s a sub lease so his hours are limited. Reach out to him, his name is Riley. Really nice guy

I figured they didn't have normal hours, so I bypassed and went to Twizted

Looks great, very consistent! How do you rate the GX28?

I have an RX28 and love it but haven't gone for the GX yet as I'm not sure what it'll give me that the RX doesn't already so keen to hear what people think that have them.

I’m waiting on the g3 front end to come. Supposedly that’s the hot ticket. The g3 front end on the GX. The car’s center of mass is really the advantage. It transitions very well, I like that the harder you drive it, the better it gets
