Talk Your Face Off: The Quest To Make Slow Fast

While My Batteries Charge RC Podcast

I was asked to start sharing these livestreams as a podcast for people who want to listen while working. I'm going to give it a go and see if they jive with the normal podcast uploads or not. This was from the livestream with RC Amigos last night on the CCxRC channel. We discussed the Enduro24 "Tiny Gappin' It" Build Off we are doing.

Who wants to try something a bit different? You do? Cool. The plan is to have a competition to see who can take an Element RC Enduro24 and make it into the fastest drag truck within a 90' x 12' area. You must film the entirety of your run by first verifying the speedometer is zeroed out before driving, then show the run, and end by showing the speed achieved all in one continuous clip. Your run must start and stop within the 90' distance and not veer outside the 12' width of the lane. Cones, tape, or other items can be used to show the width and length of the area. There is a bit of an honor system for the measurements, but you should have them visibly marked.

The goal is to have fun, but friendly competition can be fun too, right? So there are some rules to keep us from going to crazy with this build off.
