      When I fly, here's what it looks like.

      I made 2 crates with 36" X 11" X 12" that meet Southwest Airlines checking measurements (free). Boat hulls, Tx, misc crap like tape, towels and tools go in them.

      I ground ship chargers, batteries, motors, ESC's.

      It's a pain, but once you have your routine down, whatever it may be, it's rather simple. Any gear that you ship gets sent to me. It's waiting for you at your hotel when you fly in.

        Or....
        You could drive yourself and all of your
        gear to the race using an enclosed trailer.
        Near the end of the event simply set it on fire and leave it.
        Hopefully a bunch of do gooders will not run to the rescue
        and put out the flames......hmmm

            Terry we'll rent a minivan, and there shouldn't be that much stuff? a P-mono a Plim mono a small rigger and a small sport hydro? small box of tools and about a dozen batt packs and 2 chargers. I can fit all of that in 1 48x12x24 box and my shipping rates are about 60-70 bucks each way for that size box and 80 lbs.

              I need to take a closet look at what I'm actually trying to run.

              That would be 4 dudes worth of the same crap.

                Not sure it will save your rig Ken but I'll use my extensive background in fire protection engineering to help out.................by urinating on it.

                Pretty sure long island iced tea puts out a lipo fire?

                  Dave,

                  SoCal FE Tim has graciously stepped up and will sponsor TWO classes [of your choice] to be attributed to TLandauer/SoCal FE in addition to the other class sponsored by SoCal FE. Paypal to the address previously used?

                  I'll soon be knocking on the usual sponsor doors as well as the possibility of some new ones

                              Sky Harbor Airport.... PHX. It's about 10 minutes from the pond and your hotel.
