If people want to do speed runs let them, Dont ask for a explanation
Just accept that there are different strokes for different blokes and thats nothing that can be changed

I've seen that one. I like how silent it is right up to it passing by and then whoossh! I need one of those little garmins. I wont set any records but it would be nice to know how fast I am going.

Yeh if you have a specific target, telemetry is essential. I was against telemetry back when I raced, seemed like a distraction, but for things like accurate speed measurements, I guess its essential.

its a cheap way.... Cant wait untill Traxxas release the GPS unit for the Tqi, then i can compare RPM to actial speed reading and see how much the tyre balloning is effecting the speed.

in the past i fitted a venom speed meter to one car, that was cool... still got it too just dont use it
