The guy doing the interview seemed so in to that interview... *Sarcasm* But as far as the race, it was nice to watch. The camera person wasn't making you sick with the back and forth movements either, I could tell what was going on thanks to the camera guy/girl lol
Was he running just a 2s in their? I suppose he is running a Tekin RX8 with a pro 4 4600kv combo, but that kind of speed with just a 2s?!?!?! If thats true, thats crazy!
+Kaleb Moore I thought 550 wasn't roar legal? From my understanding you have to run a 540.. Or is that just for 4 pole motors? I understand Dakota runs 2 pole setups?
