Thread: Electrathon - A Different Kind of "Hotrod"

Sure, Wil, I'll send you a personal message with my phone number.

As for what is competitive, there are numerous combinations that work. Apparently, reliability and consistency are the keys to winning. A few years ago there seemed to be a big movement toward using the Briggs Etek 3 1/2hp motors; everybody was buying them. It seemed if you wanted to be competitive, you needed an Etek... Then, one of our long-time participants came to a race with a new Etek motor on his car and won the first race; no surprise there. Interestingly, between races that day, he took the Etek off and replaced it with his old Scott 1hp and won again! That certainly proved a point!

Dana "The Bat", who posts on here, is using an old Scott 1hp that I gave that team and a used controller from a golf cart. They have been consistent winners since they started running...
