Eddie, Private email for your answer.

Eric, with all due respect nitro racers who want to influence what we do HAVE to learn more about what makes electrics tick before attempting to exert that influence. Posts like yours sound completely counterintuitive to evey thing most electric racers have learned in recent years. PLEASE...

Please go to www.cheapbatterypacks.com, price a 2S lipo vs. a 6S lipo and then tell us why that rule would be good for NAMBA electrics.

This not targeted at any particular person or group, just a general comment for members of ANY forum . A quote I noted in a list sent to many of you this week. I thought it was good advice to anyone in a heated discussion on ANY forum. "Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be...

I should point out that the forum is not sanctioned or supported by NAMBA Intl. It is sponsored by Madison Area Fast Electrics and District 4. Our club is the only one in District 4, so MAFE is District 4. There are also sections for the general public, but they are limited. The forum...

I have one but want a couple more. I tried an email from his profile, but no response for several days. Anyone know the best way to contact him, if he is indeed still selling?

Just curious. What guys? It's my understanding that hull lengths are intended as a limiter.

I'm late for the party, but one thing to watch for with Krylon is humidity. Above 70%, there's a good chance you'll get some orange peel.

We've been running it in WI and MN with 700s for several years. The 05 MI Nats ran them with 700's. Our club will be testing a spec BL setup, but our lower legs will have adapters to allow us to swap to 700s. I don't understand the lack of popularity. I think tunnels are a riot.

Not so fast. Next season depends on some blood tests I'll be doing in the next couple of months, and even with that I'm not sure if we can commit. I'm on a protocol through early August. It's given me my summer back, but we don't know if it's temporary or if there actually is healing going...

Wilmer, you have a solid reputation of the being a fun guy to be around at races. Maybe that's why all the chest thumping perplexes us. There is a lot of great racing all over the country and some of the best is in the Midwest. But I'll tell you this, if you ever come to a race we host, you...

You're making this up as you go. My post was mostly complementary. And you doubling down on your self-promotion as a response doesn't change my collective "yawn'. After this comment, I'll let you have your soapbox back and you can continue to address the minions who worship your...

OK, I've been holding this back for a long time. 1. Most true "Champions" don't shove their titles in the face of others so much that it makes one gag. 2. Maybe what you consistently position as "no respect" is actually a lack of interest in the "accomplishment" coupled with #1. I don't...

Now that you explain, I guess I recall that. Hmmm.... Let's say you have 3 spots lined up in a row with 50 ft from spot to spot. Call them A, B and C. The distance from A to C is not 100 ft., it's 2 times the 50 ft from A to B. What the heck is the history behind that? Must have been...

This is confusing to me. Are those new course sizes? Are all races a mile or half mile?

I'll jump on this Grim, because no one else seems to. RTR aircraft are already shipping with lipos. I don't know anything about corporate liability, but if you include a charger and ESCs with cutoffs (like my little Blade CX), that's a big step in the right direction. C rates are steadily...

Brilliantly stated. Only comment is that I wouldn't be suprised if we saw some pretty spectacular stuff in a shorter time period than 5-10 years.

I'm with you Paul, but I don't see a problem in running into the infield at race end. The nitro guys wanting to race electric will have to learn some new stuff. That's a minor one. Amen to that.

An alternate view...from the inside looking out. :blink: :rolleyes: I have just as much fun spending a weekend with 20 racers as I do with 65 or 100. Maybe more fun. And I have just as much fun racing at 30 mph as I do at 50. In addition, 3 races a season is plenty for me. I have a...

1. Keep doing what you're doing, but more of it. 2. Release your new products in the spring, not at the end of the season. ;) ;) 3. Produce and make available to clubs a "come race your SV with us" poster (11 x 14), that they can add contact info to and hang in hobby shops and other...
