Sounds like a lot of fun guys. I can also comment that a 1/8 buggy is a little big for the track, but definitely still fun.
Next time you guys hit up SoCal Raceway, please PM me. Today I had a chance to go up to Huntington Beach, but decided to stay home to run my Revo. I could have even brought my Revo and "attempted" to run it on that track. LOL
Looking forward to the video.
I think a way to prevent the chassis bending was to get a larger chassis brace like Mike I had on his CRT.5 (I think it was him who had the brace).
