ROAR Electric On-Road Nationals
Futaba finishes 1st and 2nd, qualified 1st and 3rd in Modified Touring Car Class.
Barry Baker TQ's and wins Modified Touring Class using Futaba FASST system with new BLS451 Brushless Digital Servo!
Paul LeMieux takes 3rd TQ and finishes 2nd in Modified Touring Class using Futaba FASST system!
Mike Blackstock wins 1/12th 19T using Futaba FASST system!
"What I noticed about the BLS451 is that it's very smooth while going from full left to full right but it doesn't feel any slower in transition on the track than the 9550. In fact, I felt no difference in speed, and it has plenty of torque. I did not feel that with all the force on the tires and steering being on a high bite track that it gave up at all in the corners.
"The best thing I loved about the servo is once my trim was set the first time on the track I never once had to make one click of trim after that, no matter if I crashed or not...."
