and oh yeah: screw roar. really. it's roar's damn fault we are still running with brushed 7.2V motors... you can have a cheap, fast motor that lasts a long time if you use higher voltage.
You hit the nail on the head about ROAR, what a bunch of knobs.
It's good to hear that electric still turns out well someplace. here in the east it's nitro or bust for off road. As far as that goes, it's just about down to 8th buggy or MT, we have been having a hard time getting enough gas trucks for a class this year. We still get some decent turnout for electric sedans, but on road just does not blow my dress up at all. I've tried it a couple of times and the thrill is not there for me.
