Ray:
I don't have a problem with that, but it's not up to me. It will be up to whomever decides to step forward, organize and run the 2012 thingie proxie. About the only thing I do know is I probably wont participated if it's vintage motors again. Every race has had a burnt up motor so far. Regardless, It's a little early to be talking about this. Maybe around the end of the year or January 2012? The current Proxy doesn't end until April of next year, I think?

Rob, beautiful chassis, would love to see how well that it works. Your chassis that Nesta has have worked very well on our King at BPR.

Thanks Mill.
I sent it out there for testing. It's about 100 grams in RTR condition

Rob, Bryan beat me by about 3 to 4 feet today with your chassis. We both had 317 laps and your chassis was great. The car was hooked up well, and with a couple more tweaks, will really be great. We had one helluva race.

Rob if they would have tweaked that car more, I think Duran would have been worried !
Just kidding, but that ride was stupid fast.
Duran your ride (F1) that Mill drove was a monster and way to fast, Mill left with a smile ear to ear.

Rob,
THANKS!! It seems the car was raceable!!
I only ran a few laps on red and black in practice and knew it was OK as it just eased through the trouble spots and I threw it in tech. Very good motor, hooked up and I thought I had a real good shot at a podium finish. I started on red and had a good first heat and found I could drive it harder and faster as the race went on and by the end it was about as good as anything I've driven on the King. An absolutely great race!! Mill had me by about 1/2 a lap with 20 seconds to go and he ran into a little trouble and I nipped him by feet at the end!! Now with a little testing!!...............

Some photos with the body. Not readily apparent is the two color oragne fade on the body to go with the blue candy lace stripe. Interior by Bryan and evidently I forgot to put numbers on it since I don't own any number sheets like the numbers on the body

Hey Rob - Where did you get the quick connects used to attach the lead wires to the motor? I've looked all over and cannot find them.
Thanks!

I really don't know, they were added by Bryan. I sent the car without a motor since I didn't have any TSR's.
If my memory is correct if you do a search you can probably find the info? I believe it's been posted by the D3 racers before?
