Re: Legality of older spikes
yup. the first one is it. we have like 4 or so... off being tied to ground is actually a good thing for what i am doing with it...

and they are legal? if so, then very cool! i like the retro look! the no shroud issue i will deal with if it becomes a problem.

they also gave us a whole IFI control system... one of the victors is the old kind with the shiny red foil text; the rest are blue like the newer non-vex ones. but they all are 884, not the ancient 883's . it is mounted on a IFI kit chassis. but the mechanum wheels are AM and the controller is custom hand soldered... It was very nice of them... it is very fun to drive around...
