    sweet pics and video Eric.

    I just got back from the track, half the track was under water, but still was able to have fun with the other half :). The new motor is insane; the 3300kv was just too slow, this one is too much freaking fun, between new tires and new setup the handling is very near to where I want it. Hopefully it doesn't rain this week so I can go next weekend and get a better feeling on what to do next. The truck is tougher than I expected I hit it hard a couple of time and the only problem I had is that somehow the bottom of the case of the ESC came apart (but its not cracked or broken), so the bottom of the ESC case is still taped to the chassis and the rest is hanging, but the ESC is working fine and no wires appear to have been damaged. I need to clean it and figure out how to prevent it from happening again.

    Got the black pipe down at the new track, couple of guys were running on it as soon as that was finished, should be a lot of fun.

    Yeah, I wish it was a bit more technical, but I had nothing to do with it.

    It's only two blocks from our private track. Was hoping to see the DEX408, no dice. My buddy pulled the trigger on a DEX410v3, both should be here the first of the week, will post pics.

    The white buggy (sitting on fueling lane ramp) in on of those pics I just posted is a Durango, but, it's a converted DNX.

    Anybody interested in an E-Maxx with a glitchy factory ESC for $250? Only had four packs run through it. Thing looks brand new.

    Came yesterday, looks great. My buds has ordered a "backup" Tekin system that he's gonna let me run until I can do something (no job SUCKS). It should be here Thursday, will try to I stall that night along with a new Savox high voltage/CC BEC. But, we're going to the "Shootout" on Friday, so maybe by Sat. I can run some batteries. Give me a second, I'll post a couple shitty cell pics.
