Default Himoto Takes 2nd place!

This will bring a smile to all Himoto Racing fans. The Himoto RXT from MNModz took 2nd place in a parking lot speed shoot out. The RXT had the odds stacked up against it. The RXT was the heaviest, and biggest competitorin the event.To even hang with the compitition was a acomplishment, but second place was a great victory.

The Race:
Parking lot speed war!
The Competitors: 1: Redcat Racing 1:8th scale Syclone Buggy. One speed 14 tooth bell, SH .28 3 port engine, Byrons 20% fuel.
2: Himoto Racing 1:8th scale RXT Truggy. One speed 20 tooth bell, MNModz SH .28 3 port Power Force Port engine, Odonnell's 33% fuel.
3:CEN Racing 1:10th scale CT5. Two speed track racing gearing, CEN 2.5 BB engine, Byrons 20% fuel.
4: Traxxas 1:10th scale 3.3 Slayer. Two speed stock gearing, 3.3 engine, Byrons 20% fuel.
The rules: 1: Repeat the fastest MPH three times.
2: Run what you brung.
Results:
1st Place:
CEN CT5, 48MPH
2nd Place: Himoto Racing RXT, 47MPH
3ed Place: Traxxas Slayer, 46MPH
4th Place: Redcat Racing Syclone, 43MPH

Yea, you did a really good job especially considering that what you were running is so much bigger and heavier.

Thank you! I had my doubts if I was going to hang with the others, but after my speed was posted, I was grinning from ear to ear. I have another trick up my sleeve. I have a SH .28 8 port engine that I did sleeve work to. I should hit the 50 mph mark in it.</p>
