I'd have to say that this is pretty much a slap in the face to all the 3 rotor guys.

What a dumm *** comment. Shows how much you know about the development time and history betwen the two motors. Sometimes I forgot for some their knowledge is limited to what they read on a forum!

Historic day

Congratulations to Sporty, Gaby and their entire crew, hard work really does pay off... These guys spend loads of time and money fine tuning their setup on a weekly basis and their results are very clear tonight..
This car has to be making well over 1100hp and this is something that alot of guys thought impossible a few years ago.. Actually some guys have spent most of their lives tring to reach this level of performance on a 2 rotor and its only now being unlocked after some 30+ years... I have a feeling that 13b still has a little more left in her and with the new tricked out parts that are being developed all around the world, this record wouldn't be standing for to long.. The 20b is a new comer to the sport, its only been in serious competition for around 10years now and they've covered some serious ground within such a short space of time.... The 3rotor will get there with time because its a whole new learning experience and different animals need different care, it also should not be compared with a 2rotor..
This setup in a 3/4 chassis would be sweet for Mod class, imagine a 2rotor running ***** out 6's with Brent 4cyl

I knew this day would come soon to have a 6 second 2 rotor, that car is flying, hopefully he breaks the 200mph barrier also
