Well I need to buy a couple more batteries and come run laps almost every night I guess.

What month?

[pedrocamp]

Looks like Feb, Arch

Cool Mark, I will try to make it, sounds like fun. I too will need a couple more batteries! Though 500 laps at 5 seconds a lap is about 41 minutes - 1 battery change if your easy on the amps...

Sunday might be a stretch for me too... my wife isn't a fan of my RC racing, much less on Valentine's Day. I may be Saturday only.

Since we've never posted video of the racing action here in Mooresville, and since I just got a new phone that will upload straight to youtube I thought I would shoot a few seconds and try it out:
