Well it looks like my 21.5/lipo car will sitting in the garage for a while. Last Saturday's race at Strickland was a costly one for me. I some how broke a RF locator plate, RF lower IRS arm, cut the sensor wires on the motor and crack the front of chassis. Worst part of it all the fun I had, there are no chassis in stock.

Yeah, what Stoney said. Which chassis did you break? I've got a new OPC chassis for my car and I'll give you the old one. It'd just take me a few minutes to rip it apart but that'll give me an excuse to finally use the new one.

In light of that,do you think we need to do that @ HW? Split the heats & mains in 21.5? Let's hear what you guys have to say!

I'm going to try to super glue thing, hopefully it works for the time being. If not I still have a stock car to switch over. Jake said he'll have some cut up after AC finish up the testing on the new prototypes after the birds. I may take you up on the offer if it doesn't work out. Thanks.

I say we run a full 10 car heat. Our track is larger and most of the time there is a good spread.

Strickland was a different story. The track was smaller and there was no give or take. We all race with each other on a weekly basis and should have known better. Strickland can handle a 10 car heat. I remember the 10.5 and 19t class doing it. The 21.5/lipo class should not be any different.

I can't wait till we get the lipo/21.5 class going here in 08. It looks like most everyone is on board with this class. It sounds like you guys are having a ball with it down there. Is the speed close to what 4 cell stock speed is?

Is the speed close to what 4 cell stock speed is?It's a bit quicker than Stock. And the motor behaves like a Stocker-it's very picky w/ gearing.

I think it is ok to run 10 car heat at hobby world but split us up at stricklands.

Here's one: when ever you are in the same class as Rob, oval or touring, be sure to get your tap in first then stay in front of him. If not he will brake check you :woohoo:

Another one: do not stand next to Roy on the driver's stand hmm
