Ah slight flaw in the triple idea , recon there's more than a slight chance Coxbross1 might win this month !

Haha... That is actually the smaller lightweight 'team issue' Demon Proking.... i bought it directly from the parents of Rory Cull. Different and fewer FETs, no reverse but with stacked brake transistors. Quite a special unit.

Just for reference, some info on the team spec Demon ProKing i have in this car.....following a health check and a rewire by bluewormx. What is interesting here is the six FET Demon ProKing which was built for Rory Cull. Instead of the usual 8 x BUZ11 FET configuration (240amp total) this lightweight badboy has a 6 x 50amp FET 300amp total, plus the double-stacker brake transistors. I wonder whether all of the team spec units were like this??

Pics show a more normal Proking and a period Laser esc for comparison.

The radio gear is the same as used by Bill Jones at the 1986 European Championships. ProKing, 131SH servo and a Futaba FP-R102H mini receiver. It currently has a Demon 16 Triple motor installed but i might switch to my Mustang 16 Triple for the Revival race meeting as these were the motors used by three of the A Finalists at that event.
