Just got back from the RC Pro Series round #3 race in Omaha, Nebraska. This was hosted by the same track that did the ROAR Electric Nationals this year and they did an excellent job with this race as well.

 I had to run in the open class as this was my first time attending the Pro Series and did not qualify for the pro class yet. My 801X and XT did not disappoint and I ended up with TQ in both classes with times that would have placed me in the top 5 overall in the Pro class qualifying. Unfortunately, the mains were rained out and even though I technically "won" both classes, I don't feel comfortable making that claim without actually running the race.

 Both vehicles attracted a fair amount of interest as I heard the same comment- "this is the first time we've seen the Tamiya..." again and again. I think more and more people are starting to realize that Tamiya has made a serious commitment to the 1/8 scale racing scene and that these are very advanced and capable vehicles.

 With every new track I go to, I appreciate both vehicles more and more as their stability and speed is obvious on the first lap. I watched several different brands stuggle with sections of the track that took very little effort to drive my Tamiya's through. There isn't another brand out there I would want to be driving that's for sure.
