there's an ongoing thread on the project here: http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3489

motor's a Neu 1512/2.5d (2000kv, 2500 peak watts (~3.25HP))
the plan was to have lipos by now, but I found a good deal on an older iBook, and couldn't pass it up, so I won't have lipo's for another month or so.

what cars are you guys running? Landmax's and the like?
when will racing season start next year, and any chance for me to run this thing?
and how early will you guys show up on Saturday? 2 hour drive for me =\
