It was great running with everyone at the VONATS! Hopefully next year I'll spend less time fixing cars and more time being social.
My spur gear held up until the 3rd minute of the D-Main. :-) I reviewed the video of my races. I need more confidence...
Wow, sorry guys. I should have posted these here a long time ago. I only took a few photos because I was running around a lot. Sorry for the graininess of the photos, it was a little dark inside World of RC and I didn't have a fast enough lens on...
Searched....but couldn't find one. Is there a thread here identifying what was your first track/race? Year? Car and any other interesting facts

Started racing a WIld One with the Somerset County (New Jersey) 4-H RC Car club, in about '87 (my sophomore year in HS). One of the members got me a line on a second-hand RC10 and soon told me about The Hobby Depot, in Raritan, NJ (grew up in...

Yeah the short turn in at the left side lineup was critical for me. If I wasn't on the right side of the track to hit the first double right that second one led to disaster. I think almost every screw on my b2 was loose after the mains.
I did a search and couldn’t find anything recent. The On-Road track near me closed down. Does anyone know of an on-road track in or near Orange County, CA that I could run my RC10L, RC12L, and Bolink?
Thank You in advance.

Not sure if you were only looking for carpet, but Cal raceway in OC might be a smooth enough outdoor track.

The jump sequence on the back was a little easier on Friday when the grip was lower and you can run the chassis higher. As the grip level came up, for me at least, I had to drop the car down and run stiffer springs, especially up front and...

I've considered drilling straight through it and stuffing in a rolled pin to create a spool. It would be much easier to just lock a gear diff with silicone putty or JB.
that's a bummer. I've been thinking I need to run something soon....at this point I really don't care if it's carpet or clay. really wish there were closer tracks.
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 see if there was enough interest in forming a local (Arizona) vintage group to showcase/practice/race out at Hobby Action Raceway in Chandler, AZ? I know the owner Larry Tom is big into vintage cars and we could work...

I’m in az and would love to get a group together 4 cars makes a class at hobby action from what I understand.

I was wondering if there is any races or a place where people run vintage cars that is around the north Florida area? There is a 1/8 track in Tallahassee I race my modern buggies at but it is really to hard on the vintage stuff.
Last post
Where in central Florida are they racing vintage cars?
So now that I've got the RC10 running, I want to race it or at least take it on a track.
Any chance for arranging some racing somewhere in North Texas? Or at least a track? It seems like the one that was in my area is closed. :cry:

Ahh, oops. :oops:
I was thinking of Mike's Hobby Superstore. :D
Wild Bill's is still in biz. I'll check that out. The Indy RC one looks epic! You can bet I'm gonna be there someday soon!
I don't know how many guys we have left around that area. But, jwscab and myself are planning to hit this track up a few times over the winter (practice, hang out). So, if you'd like to come too, post up. The more the merrier!
Anyone here planning on being at the JConcepts Carpet Nationals in Albany, Oregon in April? It's only a couple hours from me and I'm going to do my best to make it.

In the old days of 1990's brushed motors in off road racing we had stock and modified class, further differentiated by buggy's and trucks and 2wd/4wd for buggies.

Popularity will be different depending on where you are. On Long Island, 17.5 Blinky 2WD Buggy (which means no electronic timing from the ESC) was the most popular class with about 20 drivers on any given day. Short Course and 4WD buggy had a...

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.
