I just saw a FB post saying it was moved to RC excitement in Fitchburg MA?

[scr8p]

Yeah, i saw that.

Updated first post with new location and rules for those interested. Not really looking forward for 2 more hours in the car both ways......

[lmw94002]

It saves me 2 hours each way... Lol. It is a awesome facility though. I'm hoping to get out to the outdoor track in the next few weeks.

I'm looking forward to meeting a few folks in person.

man.....i'm on the fence, I was really close to falling off the fence into making it this year.....the way the schedule is and the extra driving puts me square into sunday and monday.....i'm back on the fence leaning heavily the other way now....

They had the TLR cup race a week or so ago. The track looked so fun. The indoor dirt was fun too when I went. I hope too get my SSC10 track tested very soon.

I guess I'll need to figure if the SSC10 would be allowed. ReRe too. Or I'll have to build one from the Rubbermaid-o-RC10 stuff.

Indoor track video.

They have a decent outdoor track, but I am having trouble locating the video.

Ssc10 would not be allowed. The rere's are fine.

Here's a video of a hot lap for the TLR guys at the new Outdoor layout:

So w/ respect to after market chassis for an RC10... are any allowed? Like say a CompositeCraft from back in the day?

It used to be if you could buy it back in 1994 you can use it. Not sure if that has changed.

[jwscab]

will the nationals be run on the outside track?

Indoor

I misspoke in regards to the ssc10 chassis. I thought it was a mid motor setup.

Any chassis is fine but mid motor setup are not. Even vintage cars like the Tekin. Though Erich runs an electric converted gt in the buggy class so idk how that works.....

[lmw94002]

Bummer that it can't be outdoors.

Maybe we should get some RC10Talk T-shirts?
