Hi Gang:

       I found some race results from the 1979-1983 Foxberg races where a good time was a 6:00 minute heat for 70 laps with one pit stop.  This was with the Fox .35 Stunt engine.

      I have not been around Foxberg since then, but with the additions of the LA.25 and The Brodak .25 has the speeds increased? If so what are the new times in Foxberg?

     I just am breaking in a Brodak .25 to see what it will turn after it has been run for awhile.  What prop speeds should one expect from a good Brodak .25?  I guess the same could be asked about the LA .25 engine.  I have only seen the LA .25 engines flown in Speed Limit Combat and to say that they scream, is a gross understatement!

    I have seen some very good Fox .35 Stunts in the past but with the newer technologies, one may expect a .25 to out perform the venerable Fox .35.

    Back in the day, the Fox .35 Stunt would average about 27 seconds for 7 laps.  The winning came from great hot starts!

                                                                                                             Be well,

                                                                                                             Frank

A good benchmark for 140 laps with a Fox 35 on a Shoestring/ Buster/ Cosmic Wind is 10 minutes. In Dallas we specify 4 pits. If you can break 10 minutes with 4 pits, you've had a really good race.
