OH NO!!! Fri the 13th!!!!
ALL the bad things happened to the OTHER racers in Mod Short Course. :-)
Finished 1st and TQ'd Mod Short Course with the T4SC, w/the 11.5 CHEAP BL motor from Hobby King! BUT had a new Orion 3200 Carbon Lipo that I got from Greg M. Very SWEET power in that battery!

11/6/09 UPDATE
Found the problem with the Spektrum SR3000 reciever. Antenna wire isn't attached to the circuit board!!!! Time to heat the solder iron!!!
===
Found out why the wheel came off during the Mod Short Course 10 minute main. A racer by the name Dylan, passed me so fast that the wind as he passed me, became a left handed vortex that un-screwed the nut holding the wheel on!!! :-) ROFLOL!!!!!!!!!!!

The 11.5/3350kV motor is fairly nice, better than I thought it would be!!!
Had a problem with a Spektrum SR3000 reciever, guess I'll try to drop it off at Horizon when I'm in IL this month.
TQ'd and finished 2nd in Nitro Truck, Gough showed up, one of these days I'm going to beat him :-)
Qualified 6th in Mod Short Course (see Spektrum problem above), was doing well was up to third when a left rear wheel came off!!!! After I got it put back on I was able to get back on the same lap as the racer in 5th but about 1/3 lap from putting him behind me at the finish.
I'm thinking of just using the CORE-RC 3250 lipo as power to race. The SMC C-MAX 5200 just isn't, power wise, as nice!

On 10/14/2009 ordered a 11.5 Brushless motor from Hobby King, 21 DAYS later it shows up!!!! They need to get in gear like the sellers on ebay!!!! Ebay has a five star rating for sellers and IF your not getting Five Stars from your customers it cost you (the seller) $$$$$$
I've had 4 Novak, have 1 Speed Passion and 1 Tekin brushless motors and this one from Hobby King is a CHEAP (something). It won't come apart so you can clean the insides when dirt gets in OR replace a bearing <<< bearing DO go bad!!!!
