Well, we kinda/sorta have the Speedster Redux back on the road again. We’re a little ginger with the new motor/controller combination with the brush seating issue.

And that has given us some opportunities – not on anything particularly magical, but on very ordinary physical things. They count. As we became accustomed to Speedster Part
