Re: 2014 VINTAGE OFFROAD NATIONALS • SEPT 5-7TH - WOLCOTT HO
Haha! There are a few fast guys that have them. I'll say this, I'm interested to see if they actually work well on a hard packed surface. They were really meant for lose lomey dirt.
Re: 2014 VINTAGE OFFROAD NATIONALS • SEPT 5-7TH - WOLCOTT HO
XX4's are awesome, I predict they will be 1, 2, and 3 in the class. Anyone wanna wager?

No wagers, but I would expect my YZ10 to get up in there somewhere. Just have to figure out which one of them I want to run...

Re: 2014 VINTAGE OFFROAD NATIONALS • SEPT 5-7TH - WOLCOTT HO
They sure did, and they sure do very well in capable hands- that is going to be a very very hard car to beat with a non-boosted 10.5!ca-rj wrote:There were guys racing XX4's at the Reedy race last year. They'll do fine indoors.

Re: 2014 VINTAGE OFFROAD NATIONALS • SEPT 5-7TH - WOLCOTT HO
Man I hope one day I can make the trip out there for the race. I'd be nice if someone took notice and setup up a vintage race like this out in So Cal. I know I'll be watching on live RC thoughout the event.

Re: 2014 VINTAGE OFFROAD NATIONALS • SEPT 5-7TH - WOLCOTT HO
IMO you nailed the rule changes. I like that you're now allowing slightly newer cars in, and the additions to the rules make them a lot less ambiguous. I'll definitely try to make it this year.
I just have a few questions, as I'm building up my short arm for Classic class. I've asked these before, right before you disappeared for a while, so please forgive me for being a pest.
Is cutting of the chassis permitted? Is it the kind of thing that's "technically" okay, but is frowned upon?
How about the A&L bellcrank?
Thanks!

You can mod the chassis etc. The only criteria for running it in Classic is that it has to have the short suspension and hard (and small) tires.
