Who is in for some 2wd 1/10th scale stadium truck action using 8000 mah li-pos for a non-stop 20 minute race?

The future is here and electric is making a come back with brushless and li-pos!

I run 20 minutes with mini's, but have yet to go to 1/10 scale lipo.

The track I race at has a bl class and they let us run lipo's but the mains are only ten minutes.

We could probably run 8 minute mains with 19t brushed motors and 3800's. I know that my practice runs are wayyyyy longer than the races, and the battery doesn't dump. Still have 1500 mah or more left after a 5 race.

Drove a guys truck at the race on Saturday that had the GTB/6.5 and the Orion lipo pack. Thing was rediculous. Never drove a truck that could wheelie on flat ground........

That is a start and a better alternative than the "Go Gas" to get some serious track time.

The future is here with brushless and li-pos. Keep it simple with Pro Truck and 20 minute mains.

Last year I ran 15 mins vs nitros using the Novak SS5800 and GP3300's.

I just got a 4300 motor cause our track just couldnt handle the power of the 5800. I should be a ble to do 20 mins easily with IB3800's

Talk it up and make it happen! Pro Truck with a 15 to 20 minute main will be a popular class with all RC racers that want some real track time like gas offers with the simplicity and low maintence of electric.
