RC-Monster Mike's E-Truggy

He was the ONLY person in any class to get 12 laps (in the 5 min qual round) and he did it with his E-Truggy (I think he may have been running a Losi 8T but I'm not sure.) I took 2nd place in both Qualifing rounds, with my E-CRT and Mike finished 3rd close behind me. The main didn't go so well for either of us. If memory serves, Mike had a pinion set screw come loose, he pulled off, fixed it and went back out to finish the main. I had a flakey deans come loose. The first time I was able to get it going again, when it happened a second time, I called it quits. Keith L checked out and won easily but were it not for our little troubles, Mike and I would have given him a run for it in the main. This was the first time my E-Truggy had been run at all since a major winter rebuild and I gather Mike just completed his too so I know I would much rather this have been a practice day to shake out the weak links rather than a race day. None the less, it was good and I think both Mike and I have very capable race trucks. It should be a great race year.
