hehe you will find many old timers on here that understand just what you are saying I have been racing 30 ish years and I tell those old tails to the young guns of days when you had to gear your car to last 5 min…Just! and dumping on the last lap, boxes of tyres and one set of cells for every run. Was explaining to my son how we used to have to pace the heat in the old days, as if we were to drive the car flat out from the start line you were unable to last 5min

last time I set the timer on my transmitter for a practice run on the dirt track I did 12min before the lipo cut off, with a 7.5 in my 2wd, car is so quick down the straight I struggle to keep the front on the ground, and that was with a 2 year old second hand lipo

10+ years ago you would never have dreamed of that sort of run time

Get some gear and head to your local track, don't think there is a club in the country that wouldn't welcome a new member, It will all come flooding back before you know it
