p.s.
Also, if you guys have any feedback about how to make any future events run smoother, please post here. Lessons learned include:

* Track layout - Keep it really simple. We thought we had a good easy layout, but turns are the enemy!
* Bring a vacuum (Thanks again Hobbycar!)
* Bring fans to cool overheating motors

** Need a solution for bodies popping off other than tape
** Motor maintenance - recommendations for motor spray/bushing oil???

What else????

Not so much that we really need a fan to cool the motors as maybe different types of motors instead. The stock Kyosho ones come with that sensor to shut the motors off, but if we were to swap in some PN 70t motors or just desolder the sensor on the Kyosho stock, we shouldn't have that problem anymore.

Or maybe we can manage to find 6 of the Kyosho Eco-Tune Motors that are super slow. The younger kids should be able to handle those better

I also have a ton of pictures of little racers and their parents, where should I post?

i believe PN now has 80T motors? i to would suggest a slower than stock motor for at least some of the cars. we actually burn out several stock motors when doing demo cars at neckocon.

body choice goes a long way in fighting bodies popping off.

what did you do for batteries? that was always a roadblock for us a neckocon.

Ok, we now have an event album for pictures thanks to Arch2B. It's called Maker Faire Detroit 2010. Please feel free to post your pictures there. They have to be better than mine, I just posted the ones that weren't blurry!

Hi All,
If any one of you guys sacrificed your TRP GiroZ Transponder Male Connector for the Nascars at Maker Faire, please let me know so that we can replace it for you.

Thanks!
Meridith
