Not so! I need to get my body painted, but after that I'll be looking for a free night to go to Leisure Hours and get some practice time on the indoor track with my Sibenelch build and my Slash. Maybe something can be organized....
top cat mike wrote:has anybody been to underground r/c??? i don't know how that place is but i know leisure is not the spot to run vintage
What makes you say that? Do people break a lot of parts there or something? I've never run there personally, but I have been there and the tracks looked pretty cool.
place is pretty big(indoor)...i have only been there for nitro practice and always manage to break something on my truck(my fault but of course ) i am sure if driven correctly it wouldn't be a huge problem but some of those jumps are HUGE ...maybe i should just drive my rigs in a bubble
I think I see a lot of nitro's breaking stuff there. When the slash class or other electrics race I don't see the carnage. I think with nitro that's just the nature of the beast. jmo
I went out to Leisure with my slash for the first time last Friday. I had a great time. I need to get electronics into my "What's old is new.." gold tub worlds mobile thingy so I can bring that next time. Maybe I'll see some of you guys out there.

Is there any trails for 4 wheelin around there? I'd bring the ranger if you bring the zuki...red or yellow...your choice .

i know of cliffs offroad park down by starved rock, and the badlands in attica, indiana. i've only been to cliffs a couple times, and while there are definitely hard trails there, it isnt too big and more of a 4wheeler park. still fun though... i've heard that the badlands are pretty cool, but i havent been yet.
growing up in colorado definitely will spoil you...
pm me if you wanna go wheelin sometime once the weather gets a little better. i'm sure me and a buddy will be going to cliffs more than a few times this summer.

Anyone interested?
I think this would be a great idea and I would love to attend.

Nice find. I just found some TPS decals in my tool box. I didn't realize they made transmission stuff. It took a while for the light bulb to turn on. :lol:
This weekend the 25th and 26th Alpha rc raceway will be hosting the UF1 midwest series on two different points races held on each day. This should be a good time if you are in the area and just want to see what RC F1 is all about. The F1 racing will...

Thanks for posting the F1 race.
I've heard rumors that F1 is going to start up in CT as Tony Phalen has moved here from CA. I've got my fingers crossed that this will happen.
Wow , what a day it was. We had a great turn out, and many new faces, reunions, and happy times. So glad we can be a part of documenting and archiving this amazing history. Please enjoy the photos of our event here at the museum. I will try and...

It's cool that they added a vintage class, but a shame that it basically was a Re-re Worlds Class versus a true vintage class.
