Anybody into nitro r/c's??

How did you all end up finishing last night? I watched up until the mains. Plan to stop by next Thursday evening to watch. Then in a few weeks when we get moved up there (and I buy a 1/10th scale), I will join you for some racing.

[ELVIS]

I'll probably take you up on that. Where are you racing tonight?



Where all do you guys go and run them/ race around here? I know there used to be an RC track over in Richardson off Springvalley, sort of behind Papadeaux's and Papasitos.


EDIT: I just found the Mikes Hobby Shop website, place looks very cool.

sorry man. i'll post up next time i roll out there on a non race day and you can drive the hell out of mine.

Met Elvis today! Good times! Thanks for picking up my 4wd truck when I jump off the track and into all those shovels. Lol

haha! that was you that flipped over the wall, into and out of the wheelbarrow of track maint. tools? my lawyer will be in contact with you today. it seems while rescuing your truck i removed my spleen with a pickaxe!! nice to meet you and slovanova last night!

god bless.

I watched some of the races last night and everything looks like a blast. Mikes looks like a really nice place as well.

Lol sorry about that man. My a arm was broken and didn't know it and it was making it pull to the right. It finally pulled the cvd out and i was out for the night. I won 2wd though for the first time which was pretty fun.

thats awesome man! congrats!!! i was scared when they cancelled the rookie class and i had to race open 4wd SCT. but i actually did better, IE not dead last in qualifying. im not sure what i pulled off in the B Main. i was tired and ready to go.

i am gonna buy one of those KT8 carts for that class on the carpet and see if i like it. they are only like $150 rtr.

god bless.

Was nice to meet you too ELVIS. Glad to see you were having fun out there. That is all that matters really

I screwed up a lot, but still managed 5th in 2wd. What are you thinking of buying?

[motoman]

Do you notice that big of difference in how the 2wd/4wd cars/trucks run?

Yeah the 4wd trucks are more forgiving in the traction department. It's a lot easier to pull them out of a slide. They react way more in the air than a 2wd. To much brake in the air and you be doing nose dives.

Those rtr go carts do look like fun.

I need to get a 4wd short course first since I have already signed up for the "Short Course Showdown". Probably going to get an AE SC10 4X4. Also plan to run 2wd buggy but probably go with the Losi 22 there.

You may be waiting a while on the ae. Mikes only got 1 in and there's a waiting list on them not sure if it's the same at the hobbyshops.

Has anyone done any of the rock crawling they have out there at Mikes?

I am not moving up there until the end of June anyway. So by that time they should be caught up on the rush. I might end up with the Losi Ten SCTE, just depends on where all I decide to race. If I am going to be racing the SC on dusty outdoor tracks I will go with the Losi. The AE belt drive set-up looks great for low dust tracks. But looks like it would be a pain to clean after a track day at a dusty/sandy track.

The ae last nIght looked really good! Right now scte is dominating the class and looking very strong. Either truck is capable of winning though. I like the losi cause I think the weight of the truck works in this class.

i have never seen anyone on it actually. it looks like it would be cool in theory, but its about a 20x20 square and i could see me getting board with it pretty fast. esp. since there would be no one over there to talk to.

and i am almost sad i will miss this thursday since i'll be in vegas.

god bless.

I thought I had a 1/10 scale lined up for Thursday since we were going to be in town. However the buddy that said I could use it, sold it. I will probably stop in anyway. Thinking about bringing my Mugen Eco to make a few laps on the outdoor track before the races. Probably see a few of you up there. Let me know who is going so I know who to watch for.
