Yes, I will run a Main. Everyone runs a Main.

I think Kate will also run this year, might get her a 1/12th scale.

I know that Jon.

Has Surge thought about getting different boxes? I'm one of those weirdos that keep packs in the cardboard boxes.

Yes, but not for a while. Right now, we're trying to keep costs down using what we've got. We've still got some of our old boxes left as well as a new system using thick plastic bags with header cards.

The bags would also be cool. And easier for a hobby shop to display the numbers.

Eagle makes a set of battery boxes that are pretty nice. You can get them through Integy.

Hmm...that's interesting. Do you have a link for those boxes? I'd like to take a look at 'em.

Here ya go...10 for $14.99. They have a little clear window on the top to ID the pack. The battery boxes fit perfectly in the Eagle "Power" bag:

Man I ran my Surge batteries yesterday and the surge they put out scaled at 60 Gs. Man good thing I dont actually ride in these cars cause 60 Gs can mess your back all up. :jest:

Just to let you all know.. Surge is teaming up with a ball bearing manufacture to bring you precision ceramic ball bearing kits for your touring cars. These bearings are being created custom for us by an ISO9001 certified manufacture. They will be ABEC5 grade, and feature metal shields.. and the best thing is, we will be pricing them lower then any of our competitors!

More to come..
