FZRC (Sarasota, FL.)

Cody's dad bought my Losi XXX-SCT two weeks earlier to have a RC to race with his three kids with (they all have one). Cody like the Losi better than his Duratrax so!!!!

This is Cody's 2nd ever race! He TQ'd and lead for two minutes of the 5 minute main then the motor, a 17x2 brush motor started to died!!! About 90 sec from the finish it died!!!! As Cody walked by me he said "That's racn' "!!!! Was he unhappy that he didn't finish you bet, but that didn't get him down.

Brushless Hobbies had given "MRCW" one of their 120 amp brushless ESC's, OVER six months ago!!!!! When we received this we put a Novak 13.5 motor in the ESC box.

The BIG eyes that a kid has when they get something that they are not expecting is part of what "MRCW" is all about.

Erik, a team driver for Brushless Hobbies (he is the racer who contacted BH about "MRCW") assisted Cody in getting the gearing right for his Losi for the day.

After Cody lapped ALL the racers in the first qual, we did a motor temp check 140 degrees << that is just right! In the 2nd qual he lapped all the racers more than 2 times!!! The main he lead from the tone and drove away from the other racers!

Marty, track owner wants Cody to move out of the Novice class. With the Novak 13.5 motor that would place him in the same class as ME!!!! I already have my hands full with his older brother!!
