THE E-Car Wins at Grass Roots!

The soon to be released JQ  E-Car wins in the hands of our Factory team driver Chris Marrale! Chris sent us the following report from the race:

“April 13 and 14 was Round 3 of the Grass Roots Racing Series, a local race series that travels to Thunder Alley, Pro-Line, and Palm Desert Raceway. Electric and Nitro alternate days, and this round was Nitro/E-buggy on Saturday and Short Course on Sunday. This weekend was at Pro-Line’s private test track with a new Levi Jackson/SiK Track Designs layout. On Saturday morning the fresh track was really loose as a racing groove began to form, and conditions completely changed as the 115+ entry day went on-it became dry/hard packed and had great traction come mains time. After not getting any morning practice for E-buggy, I forgot about a cut servo wire from the last race, and didn’t finish the first round. The second round was better when I got used to the car and track, which put me 2nd for the main. Come mains time, the track was dry and high bite, something I’ve never ran my E-buggy on. Throughout the 10-minute main there were several lead changes, but I ended up taking the win in the last minute over Brian Sullivan. I was surprised how well the car handles and carries corner speed at every track I’ve been to, without any setup changes, or maintenance for that matter, in months! After its released in the coming weeks, I’m going to predict THE E-Car will be on a lot podiums this year! :)”

The next set of races will be Grass Roots Round 4 May 4-5, and JBRL Nitro Round 2 May 11, both at Palm Desert R/C Raceway.
