I finished the car and drove it today!
I've pretty much had it done for a while but I was getting the whole motor/esc thing sorted.
I've got an Xl-5 in it with a Venom 17x2 fireball and I'm having a hell of a time getting the Fireball to not overheat. It's fast, though, and if it doesn't live up to it's name I won't complain too much.
I have JK Racing's setup and it handles great. I'm pleasantly surprised.

If I remember correctly, those Fireball motors are very hit and miss and tend not to have a long lifespan. Hopefully you have better luck than I had!

I know it's not a great motor, it was part of a big motor lot from Rccars4all. I'll probably put in a Trinity Chameleon next.

First post

I attended the 2012 Vonats this year and the thing that I enjoyed the most (besides actual racing) was watching the old school RC10's tooling around the track in classic class. I like the RC10's that have had every bit of performance wrung out of...

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I was there when Scott bought this car. My pit table was right next to his, I was filling the shocks on my own short arm Rc10. It did look pretty beat, good to see that it's been taken care of.
Any idea what she...

First post

Erich asked if we would be interested in sponsoring one of the classes at this year's Vonats. So, I'm posting this to see if any of you guys would like to donate to the cause. I don't know if I want to post out in the open what it cost because I...

I was hoping to get 10talk t-shirts done early last year for our 10th anniversary to help pay for a sponsorship last year. But it just never happened. Half of the artwork was completed, but decided on the main logo for the front. And then when...

I think there should be a class for this generation of buggies. Sure they are not Classic or Vintage aged. But they are discontinued, designed for Nicd/Nimh and brushed motors, and are certainly a generation apart from current stuff. It would...

Something would have to give in the program. The weekend is already quite packed.

I wanted to start a thread for next year's VONATs where we can post and discuss what cars qualify for what class, post release dates and maybe even pictures of the cars in question.

Mods, please move as you deem fit, I wasn't sure as to where to...

Mr. Reichert,
I believe there was some misunderstanding earlier, I hope you don't mind me asking this again.

Would the Hawk 2 race ST (stadium truck) or heavy metal?

When are the rules coming out for this year? I've begun turning my Goldpan back...

If I was going to build an entry level vonats car, it would be a Frog and I would copy Brandon's setup. That car could race in 2wd buggy class and do well. (If Brandon was behind the wheel of course)
I think we need a thread on Brandons Frog HINT...
