Yes - you just make an extra hole in the body - about the size of a body mount - You need clearance underneath for the transponder - approx inch square by .5 inch deep - It hold on by a body clip.

Can be mounted at the track in a couple of mins - Don't worry

What are the best tires to race over there?

[MetalMan]

Totally wish I could make it, but alas it isn't cheap to fly these days and that's the weekend following my first two days of school.

On the brighter side, this thread has been moved.

anyone got a spare set on 14mm hubs?

[auto2]

the barn is my second home lol. if i didnt have a 17 year old daughter i would even let some of u guys stay at my house.

15 min mains are going to be a problem for lots of us. I can get about 12 mins out of 5000's a pit takes way too long with my two battery setups in my truggy and E-Revo...

Any chance you guys would be willing to reconsider the main and make it 10 mins?

IDK how your only getting 12 mins out of that set up. You should be getting at least 15, id say 20 or more. got a power hungry set up?

A lot of it has to do with the track I run on and how I drive. I'm controlled but I do know how to use the throttle. It's all out racing.

Had it stop at 12 mins more than once and it really sucks to be in 2nd or 3rd and end up in 7th because it takes 1-2 mins to remove the body and swap out two batteries not to mention all the fun of waiting on the stand for the ESC to arm and getting impatient and screwing it up.

I've done 15 mins once or twice at an easy track driving very slow and steady. The Barn typically is a big track with big jumps and you need the power. I really want to compete but no way 15 mins with my current batteries.

I hope the powers that be reconsider. Forget what the nitro guys want, this is supposed to be an electric event!

Got one other idea...two mini mains...seen it done before...lower mains are 7-10 mins, one race. A main is two 7-10 min "rounds" where you race for 7-10 mins. The race ends. All trucks come off the track, swap batteries and another 7-10 min race starts. The results of the two races are added together. Usually it's done so there is a break, like this:

Truggy A1
Buggy A1
MT A1
Truggy A2
Buggy A2
MT A2

It gives everyone a chance to compete under power.

But personally I'd rather just see ALL mains be 10 mins. Keep it simple and keep it fair. You don't want guys not to show up because they know they can't finish...

It is an elec event and normally managed on the day to a reasonable lowest common denominator - You should be fine...

I'd feel a whole lot better if we could come to a consensus before the event.

If I'm the only one who can't make 15 mins, then majority wins and I'll come up with an alternative plan.
