I think we need our own thread so here it is, anyone is more than welcome to post in here.
I went out to the super secret test track today, ok so it's a track in a park about 10 minutes from my house. I ran my rc10 with a 10.5 and wow is it fast!...

good job Mark!!! I will be back soon to hack you in 2wd buggy!!!
would a YZ10 super dogfighter be legal? I know the time line says 1994 and earlier, the timeline says that the car came out early 1994, but I know it was sold after that as well.
any opinions?
I just picked one up and am wanting to make the trip...
Sydney Australia yet again plays host to what is promising to be the best vintage get together yet!

With only 2 weeks till this meet takes place I wanted to get a few cars onto the race track to work out any weaknesses. Gladly all my cars drove very well.
The action pics are thanks to Murray Thompson (Muzza T) who had his big lense on hand. The...
Its my first time trying to split the footage, so it might be a bit messy.
Also GO Pro Ran out of Battery for the 2nd half of the video which was Booo.
For some time now we have been having social vintage get togethers at a local track that remains untouched since the 80s.
It has become more popular with guys from Tamiya club coming for a run.
The local council were kind enough to do some repairs...

Great stuff , looks like a cool meet so to speak. That first action picture is brilliant, are the rest of the action pics like that. I love the way the cast off dirt from the wheels looks like its still moving and the way the car looks clearer...
A small simple not completed track LOL
Bash get together, just to get the crowed interested in the hobby.
So in the future we can actually run something small, if we get enough people.
Pardon the messy track, its not done and it gets destroyed ever...
A friend of mine is coming going to the states from the UK from early february, he isn't a member here so i said i'd ask on his behalf if there are any racing clubs near seattle.
Hi Guys
I am working on a west coast vintage race were we can run/race our on-road and off-road cars at the same event.
More info to follow. I need to know if anyone would travel to AZ for this event? I also am looking at dates with the track owner...

Bill - Let me know if you need any help putting this together. I will race this one for sure.
Well Scr8p was the one that coined it and I personally think it would be cool. So let's open it up for other thoughts, suggestions, etc. Maybe if Erich hears enough positive whining about it he can make the other half of his year just as busy as the...

I was wondering if you guys may ask Niftech, IRS, BRP, if they are willing to help out a bit, even if just for the exposure?
Like the title says Brian Kinwald and some of the X factory team will be racing November 7th at Classic raceway in Akron and also ARCS hobbies in Ashtabula on November 8th. If you can make to either track it would be worth it !

Judging by the announcement of Brian being at these races on the XF forum I would say your right :wink:
I'm hoping to enter next years event..I've got a business trip planned for about the same time so I'm looking at racing..what I want to know is how much did your weekend cost you guys all up?.. :?:

Yes, I went to my first yatabe vintage race; on june first, and no, I didn't take pictures.
I had a fun day and the track was real cool: with lots of relief and only 1 high speed section.
But the turn-up for the vintage class was highly...

Those plates were available both in carbon and alu originally. The chassis is a composite craft rc10 (sprint version).
The trailing arms are not as good as the a&L ones: too short and the shock sits too close to the hinge.
So travel is limited and...

Race #1 of the Southern R/C Pro series will be held the weekend of April 18th at Whitehouse Hobbies in Whitehouse, TN. I plan on running 1/8th scale buggy, and the turnout will be very good I believe. Come on out!
I dont know where to put this it's not vintage but it is a race.

I live right down the street, going to try and watch some Sat. if there is any standing room left. I think a vintage race out on this side of the country is a great idea.
A mass exodus out of the state, home values falling like a rock, big three in dire straits, my house won't sell and isn't rented,.......... Oh, you meant RC wise? :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
