What have I done?
I decided to get a 1/8 electric buggy! I bought a Factory Team RC8.2e last night. I plan to build it up and add additional parts and electronics to it as my budget allows. So who knows when I'll finish it as I'm also building a new 550 size electric helicopter :)

Bummer :(
No award to post pics of :( Here are my results for Round 6 of the JBRL at SDRC; Stock Truck- 5th B Main, Stock SC- 2nd B Main, Stock Buggy- 12th A Main. Disappointing, but I still had fun as my primary goal was to make an A Main in one of my 3 classes.
The next big race on the schedule for me is the Surf City Classic at OCRC, which has been fun every year I've attended :)
I do have some vids from this race, which I will be uploading to YouTube, and posting links here.

Awwww!
Missed making the A for Stock SC :(. Think what I could do if my truck was setup right! As I've been concentrating on my buggy and truck.
Woohoo!
Made the A in Stock Buggy! I barely made it though, in the 10th spot. In truck I'm down on power :(. I'm pretty sure I cooked the rotor in practice. Next year I'm gonna need a new rotor for each round!
The top ten!
Finally had a decent run! The traction is coming up and I drove well in Stock SC, qualifying 9th I think. Hoping for a clean run in buggy and truck. 
The JBRL is underway in San Diego!
Just finished my round one runs for stock buggy and truck. The track was a little slick for buggy. I was in 3rd for most of the race till I clipped a pipe during the last minute or so. Dropped to 5th :(. For truck I didn't put traction
compound on my tires and loosened my slipper a little. Much better, but I made too many driving mistakes :(. Dropped way down the field :(. Stock SC is up next in 5 races.
