I think I'm more nervous second time around. Gonna be a good day!

And I was just about to order a centro…

My guess is the B5 will make its debut at the Reedy race in January.

As of last Friday Trackside Raceway http://tracksideraceway.com/ in Brookfield, WI had 3 or 4 in stock.

I’m thinking some of the balance issues the car has is because I moved too much weight forward and the car doesn't want to rotate, t...

Track Report: Well I made it to Trackside Raceway http://tracksideraceway.com/ in Brookfield, WI Friday night for a club race. With the Spektrum race coming the following weekend the place was packed. The surface is black dirt (with possibly some clay mixed in) slightly damp and high-bite. And the l...

Thanks for the comments!

Going to the track today, hopefully it works as expected. Full report this weekend.

He’s my stab at a narrow B4 chassis… I took the lazy route instead of cutting and gluing the factory piece I printed one.

The only vehicle at my house that doesn't move under its own power has a bowtie on it. You can come over and push that if you’d rather.
