Only 8 Months until the next VONATS !! I wanted to know if my Rc-10 with a B3 transmission would be allowed to race again? I have no problem with getting an older stealth if needed, ebay permitting..
If it didn't bother anyone last year I don't see a problem with it. The bigger picture is to be able to get an old car running. The race is more for the fun of driving old cars and it if makes you happier to run one with newer parts I don't really mind. If someone says something to me and I feel like it's taking away from their enjoyment, I'd obviously ask you if you could change it and lend any help I could.
SOOOOOO I have some otherwise big news for people out west. There might MIGHT just be hints of a Vintage Championships out west! Hmmmm a little birdy told me that it might be presummer too... better start wrenchin! More details to come
Oh, it's not work, it's what I'm trying to do for a living. (not my day job) It involves a trip over seas, depending on my schedule and travel plans, it's looking like the VNATS will fall right at the end of that trip.
Then the least you could do is paint up some portraits of your rides and send them over with Hoopty. We'll get NoThumbs and Klavy to run around the track with them.

On another note while we're talking about the "other" side of the country (lol)... I've started poking around a very little bit about doing a race out in CA. Nothing yet since I literally just started this today but perhaps you and others won't have to fly so far to get some track time in. I'm hoping to spread tings out a little bit out there hoping it'll make the Nationals bigger next year and in the future.

Decided to play it safe and picked up a 2:25 stealth on ebay.

Still working the details with the owner but I'm thinking how nice the high desert is in say may-ish
Melvin I don't have a date set yet, the date on the site I THINK is still from last year maybe? I would say ROUGHLY that it'll be the same weekend this year. Obviously I haven't talked to Mark or Jon yet but I'll try and get up there in the next few weeks. I have some bigger plans for this years race so I will have things moving a little earlier than usual.
No word on the Clod motor deal yet but I'll try and talk to Tamiya at the same time and let you know... you KNOW, you could just run that thing 2wd.. I'm just sayin

i have a feeling scott wouldn't want to run a FWD clod. it's the rear motor that needs to be reverse rotation.
After attending the 08 & 09 VONATs and seeing how much fun it was, I've decided to start searching for a Classic entry for next years race. I believe the rules are basically any pre-1994 entry level vehicle. What vehicles would you recommend for...

One of my racing buddies that is planning on making the trip this year has a Falcon ready to go. Basically he is using 2.2 wheels off of a Desert Gator (the same grey solid wheels I had on my 08 Frog). HPI hex adapter in the rear allows the use of...
Hi, this is the RC10T I raced last year and plan to race again this year in the Vintage Offroad Nationals. Alot of this truck is original parts I used to race with in the early 90's. I have also made a rear shock tower due to not being able to find...

Looks like the truck needs some work this year. It doesn't seem to handle the new track layout as well as last year.
If you are still making those carbon battery hold downs please PM me...Thanks...:)
Here's the car that I'll enter as my 4wd entry at the 2010 VONATs, I was in the hunt for one of these for this year's race, but this one I found just a little too late....
Hopefully I'll just have to rebuild and clean, I need to sort out a new body...

I agree, great thread.
RW racing are now making my design Lazer ZX/ZXR spur gears in 48dp. 100t but with an added extra. This has the not only the standard 12 holes for the third diff, which also fits the hyper clutch but I added the B4/B44 hex...
Here's a few pictures of my RC10T, it's the same truck I ran at last year's VONATs, but this time around, it's sporting the quick change conversion kit, along with JC Rulux wheels.
The body it's an RC10T2 body, with RPM body mounts.

As soon as I put some electronics on it, I'll take some body off pictures.... :D
Decided to get my original RC-10 ready to race again. The body was on loan in 2009 to my first version of my Old Is New, but now it is back where it belongs.
I did have a mid conversion on this, but I decided to put the pan back on.
