Look for a New class OUTLAW TOUR MODS you will start off with a blank (no holes) D.A.R.N chassis, set it up as you wish, any offset, any rear steer, use your knowledge, any motor , any battery. Almost NO rules it will only have to fit into a box.

As a racer there weekly its alot of fun-no BS to deal with and no hot heads except for jimmy--lol. Everyone has a good time, people always willing to help out, lots of laughs nothing to prove, the way its suppose to be. If you just start out racing its a great place to race at and gain experience, or if you been racing for lots of years there are people there to meet your challenge and the hobby shop is right down the street if you need anything before the night of racing. As bob says Com on Down and jump into our pit.

I have raced there a few times. It is a lot of fun, and no pressure. Can't wait to make it back.

I thought K/N was home of the original S/K (jcar)??? :confused:

No Jon. The first J-car (sk) series was run at the VFW in Montville with RC Hobbies, way back around the time the first Losi JR. came out. We used chassis with Delta pods, I won the frist Point series, talk about streching the rules, I had jacking screws, longer front axles, Oh , we ran 540's soaked in all kinds of chemicals. Man they have come along way.

The new Tour Mod class should be wild, I can't wait to see what guys come up with, Omni 85 has a "T" plate car already.
We are racing Saturday nite I don't think the snow will interfer.

Later :wave:
Steve

What is a D.A.R.N chassis? the latest revision of the J-Car? and where do you get the chassis from?

Darn is who makes the solid chassis that run at madness and montville. It is a revised version of the original jcar. Jay Hawley hasn't been making them in years, so D.A.R.N picked them up and produces a higher quality more consistant chassis. You can get one from Hobitat, and R/C Madness. he has been talking about putting a kit together, that will really help the class I believe.

My first car had a delta pod. The mcgrath family still has one of those cars, not sure if they still race it, but wouldn't surprise me.

I just talked to Howard, and he remembers racing up there.

Thank you :thumbsup:

The Darn chassis is definately the way to go. In the 1st NEOT race at Madness, we raced xcaliber and darn together. 1-6 were Darn and 7-12 were xcaliber. I was a little nervous when I found out we had to race with T-plate cars, but we ended up dominating the class.

Ran the Contraption sat night in montville--was very fast. Right up there with one of the fastest guys that race there with lap times. I couldnt get a good finish in a heat but won the main 150 laps at 9:04 or 9:07 with a few crashes, I think daryl did it in under 9mins so I think it would have done 70-72 laps in the heat. Its there but yes its still a tplate car aka (pan car). Its outlawed now--LOL. This would be great for the super class. 19t/4cell/tplate Sk car---SPEEEEDDDD babeeee. If I am able to run this car on the tour I will do it and see how it goes on banked track--not sure yet, but on flat I am sure it will be in the "SHOW" running against the solids.

Mine wasnt slow steve--LOL

Hey Ken, why don't you just throw a s/k body on your pan car???

alrighty then

and then we can start a whole new class with s/k's with nascar bodies...

thats it--its on bring your car--and its on-OH its been beroughtin---build a car for the outlaw class. anything goes.

Yah Jon , Ken kicked my A** :confused: with that T-plate car. Good for the mod class but not stock. I grand fathered 2 T-plate cars in when we made the rules, now both of those cars are broke. Excaliper cars are not SK's, they are pan cars, Sk's have no T-plates. Hell why don't they just put 1/10 tires on a 12 scale and put a SK body on it, isn't that what they run at K&N??. The Excaliber was someones halfass attempt to make a SK.
T-plate cars should find another name for their class.!!!

Steve :wave:

We had 8 racers Friday night not bad for the Weather perdictions.
Ken Lenda came back after a 4 month layoff. Roland,Vic,Mike Butler, Ken, Daryl (didn't run). Butch and Jimmy both made it to the A-main for the first time. No racing this Friday as the school is housting the Class S Wrestling Champs. Call we may go on Thursday night.

Steve :wave:

I hope we will run thursday night-they might come down to run with us. they did a realy good job to. look for the parts I need to get a solid together please. if not order the pods.

I will definately build a car for mod. Those are my roots. Steve remembers mod dirt oval at east lyme. I do better with mod than I do with stock, most people are to scared to run mod though. I'm looking forward to it.

Steve said we will be running thursday night-same time. I might be able to set it up earlier if possible, building a new car need some laps on it. jon if you have the new co27 motor-bring it--works good for me some snap in the corners.

I just got one. I will give it a try, if I can make it.

Howard just built his with r brushes, and it looks weak on amp draw... don't know what its gonna do on the track though.

I wouldnt be to concern about amp draw doesnt always mean its either a strong or weak motor.

true amp draw(not just heavey springs) will equate to more torque in most cases. But you are right, I've had motors run bad on dynos and great on the track. It's all about finding the right rollout.

Just to set the record straight. I came up with the excalibur car so tracks would have a spec class so beginners and experienced racers could race a kit that is actually supported by its manufacturer. Bolink (Gone) Trinity Street Spec (??). It was hard to get parts for. I built with a t-plate car so begginers could learn the basics of oval cars so in time if they wanted to move up to a pan car, they wouldn't get lost in the jump or frustrated. As a former store owner I saw this quite a bit when people went fron legends to pan car. This wasn't a half-ass attempt. The car is cnc machined is it may be slower than the other car. But from what I get for feed back at maddness was your talking about experenced drivers who have run there weekly against other drivers with less time behaind the wheel. I have the utmost respect for the maddnes & montville tracks and drivers. I don't see why both cars can't co-exist. My kit does cost more money, but before people pick on the price. You talking about a new kit with IRS hubs and axles. New bearings! New Body! If you took the other chassis and put all new parts on it. It would cost pretty much the same. But this a true spec car with no side shocks and a spec center shock. It is being run at other tracks up and down the east coast. If you know racing then youv'e heard of Marshall's in PA. They have run the car for years with no complaints. I just wanted to set the record straight. I don't make a alot of money on the kits. I do it for the passion of racing. I support the car with parts and bodies. The new run of bodies has come out fine. We have corrected a slight problem and it looks great. SK is a great class and I will do my best to promote it which ever chassis is run. I am a sponser of the NEOT and will be giving away a kit at the end race. I have given prizes to support the Maddness race just run. Anyone feel free to e-mail me at sales@beefyproducts.com with any questions. I will be glad to sponser a race at Montville. Have Steve call me. I'm sure he didn't really mean thoses things he said. Aren't we all just trying to race and have fun instead of a debate that dosen't help rc racing.

THANKS FOR LETTING ME VENT!
Jim

We are in the process of trying to get a spec/begineer/oval learning class together for a new hobbyshop we are starting here in wisconsin. Please e-mail me information on these cars with pictures, prices and anything else you think I need to know

thanks

Jim--you are correct on "isnt this suppose to be all about having fun part'. But some people hold onto the past and call these chassis pan cars because its not a spec class in there eyes. From a differnet generation of racing myself it doesnt matter to me but I will go by the rules of my local track or anywhere else I go, I am not so sure I proved a point of a tplate car being the fastest but for sure it is fast and was tested at the montville track and by the way it had beefy front springs on it"teal" won those at madness and was awesome. It was not a beefy car, it was a darn chassis cut off at the rear with older hyper drive pods and tplate drilled in it. I have only seen your chassis in the showcase at K/N. I was told they were being run at madness. Maybe I will buy one to see whats the fuss about-maybe we are not giving it a chance I dont know. Lots of people disagree with the pan car I run because of the owner--dont understand why because he is a great person to deal with, but you will never make everyone happy and thats why there are so many options of pan car chassis or anything-to pick and choose from.

Keep up the good work jimmy. No matter what the car is, it is up to the track owners to enforce rules and make it a spec car. The only problem I see is that this isn't happening at some tracks. You are getting expeirienced drivers with xcaliber cars, that are putting shocks on them, and basically turning into a different bodied pan car class.
You are right about expeirienced drivers racing the darn chassis, but in our weekly racing there are not so expeirienced drivers doing well in the class. It has nothing to do with the chassis, we all run the same one and thats what matters. It is more so because of rules. Keep it a spec class and most people will do well and not get as frustrated.
Glad to hear the new bodies are better.

im interested in running up there,as long as i have 3 or 4 pan car participants we can run correct? we are from ri

I have tried to contact RC Maddness and got nowwhere. No return call or e mail. I want to start an sk class in NH. How much is the chassis and where do I get it and the Mod body. I crew chief for T.C. on the BUSCH EAST(NORTH) car. Thanks for the help

D.A.R.N racing products makes the chassis, The guy's name is Dan Durkee.his email is DARN_Racing@yahoo.com. Phone # 860-447-9586. The guy on this post Steve (hobitat) can hook you up with bodies.

im interested in running up there,as long as i have 3 or 4 pan car participants we can run correct? we are from ri

I know 2 other people including myself who could run with you guys on a regular bassis or once in awhile with the pan cars. this thursday night I am unable to run my pan car but if you in advance let me know before next week I will make sure myself and the other 2 will bring there cars. I am sure Steve will allow you to race-if there were 2 of you-we have one sedan car racing there for fun--its all about having fun getting people out of the house away from the kids and wife--lol hope to see you guys up there-have you guys ever consider running the sk class? We have a great bunch of guys and there is atleast 10-15 guys there weekly.

the only reason i wouldt run sk is expence, car,tires battery , i cant afford to sink that much into it. the only way feasable is maybe if i could find a desent used vehicle. do i understand correctly that there is only one type of sk thats allowed there?

good question --you will have to ask steve-Hobbitat that one.

skud, If you can drive without crashing the cost is nothing, a set of tires will last 7 weeks or more, I don't even cut my coms, maybe ever 4 weeks. I run the races and only time to charge my battery and goop my tires during the race nite, it's about as cheap as you can get

Thats the reason why I made it was becuase It was cheap, all the parts lying around-it was the right price-free, but thats fine I dont think I am running the entire tour anyways.

Steve, best of luck with you car kits. Why didn't you just say you were coming out with your own kit and body. I think choice is great! Let me know if you still are interested in a big race. No hard feelings on my part. More is better as long as people have a place to race.

The original J Car class with the Delta pods started with sprint car bodies on them.

You won the first series because you were a cheating bastid. :p

I won the tri track, Norwich, Plainville and Stafford point dealy and got a rolling chassis for it, the only other one like Jay ran. Bad thing was it was graphite, thin and flexable. The next year I was told it was illegal.... :)

Racing tonight? I have to go down that way anyway.

no racing tonight--sunday

Sunday????

What time?

after the 500---probably between 5 and 6, daryl P should be there.

Is beer allowed?

I am going to have to say no because its at a school--LOL but if you use a coozy screw it--looks like a coke to me.

I'm gonna double check with Steve.
