Could always give the nose plate the “worlds” cut

Nice thread! I'm partial to this beauty. Brand new, never soldered up.....yet! Still have one that's been run too, with OG deans 4-pins. If you raced 1/10th on-road can-am/indoor oval on the east coast in '87-'89....you might have seen this 16T Double in front of ya

Never again!

Folks might have already seen this announcement, but the 1/10th Worlds returns to the U.S. next year: https://www.liverc.com/news/hobby-action-host-2023-ifmar-110th-electric-road-worlds/

Hobby Action is an indoor clay track so it should make for some good racing, I am looking forward to it

Someone's building a Traxxarse.....
