  hey kitsune, I’m all out man. All my orders are taken. I’ll see what I can do, I might have some nelly 1.1 fets spare, but I’ve used up all my IRF6609(nelly 1.2) mosfets.
  
  gotta put that order in ASAP.
  
  also, hopefully my li-poly madforce will be ready for tomorrow. haha….

  I’ll be happy to take the nelly 1.1 mosfets at this point, My Aluminum chassis is ready for a test run, but with an I waver motor and stock mosfets it probably wont be very impressive.
  
  Looking forward to seeing you there.

  Yeah, I couldn’t believe it either when I saw what had happened. Betty didn’t have the most succesful day in terms of steering. But he got there in the end. I was very happy with my mr01. In the end I OWNED the competition, kick both the two top speeders, ken and betty. But during the day my motor’s endcap became interested in doing it’s own thing and I dropped below the 30kph barrier…..Time for some motor maintenance.
  
  Learnt alot on the track today though. It’s great to get some solid track time in and learn how you car reacts to various settings and configurations.
  
  Then there was the time off the track………:D
  Talk about crop patterns, lol…..
  
  The Collection:
  
  From left to right: Betty, ph2t, leon, kitsune, merc-blue and the last two are ken’s.
  
  And here’s the usual suspects, minus your’s truly who’s taking the picture….
  
  I’ve got some GREAT video, I will upload it shortly…..
  
  cheers,

  Funny thing is most of the damage is hidden by a skillful repair job using gaffer tape (Thanks leonli17 🙂 (The underside of the bonnet was almost completely covered with gaffer tape by the end of the day.
  
  My aluminium chassis lsot it’s front wheels twice during the day so I need to make some improvements
  and speed wise it topped out at 17kph on the speed checker so it neds some work in the speed department, (It was sad watching it off the line in the great race – the only reason you’d find it on the track at the mo is as a pace car – but next time it’ll be better, halfway around the track and it would only turn left, a little while later it would only go straight ahed, when I went down to investigate the reason was obvious – no front wheels will do that to a car, so not even 1 lap completed. But as a learning experience it was a great day.

  yeh im surprised nobody posted about the M18 that was there.. a regular 1:10 racer had a 11.4v (i think) brushless M18 which toped out at 79 or sumthign he had to start breaking halfway down the straight we needed a runway to see how fast i really went

  The costs of loaning out your TL01 to the guys at ausmicro …
  
  Broken shell = 1 roll of gaffer tape
  Missing wheel nut + broken axel = free spare from a friend
  The look on ph2t’s face as the front wheel goes rolling off the end of the straight = priceless
  
  (: ph2t I know you felt bad about the wheel, but I thought you should know it’s all fixed and didn’t cost me a cent 🙂

  I agree they are there to use (and abuse 😉
  
  Awesone shell tho, look at it sideways and it’d crack 1/2 way to the windshield.
  
  The acid test is would I do it again … ABSOLUTELY!
  
  Sides I was the worst offender of the whole lot 🙂
